[PATCH V2 1/2] scsi_debug: unify scsi_level in proc and sysfs

2014-01-22 Thread Sha Zhengju
From: Sha Zhengju There're severel interfaces to show scsi_level value of scsi_debug, but they're not in consistent, e.g.: 1) #cat /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/scsi_level 5 2) #cat /proc/scsi/scsi_debug/7 scsi_debug adapter driver, version 1.82 [20100324] num_tgts=1, shared (ram) size=102

[PATCH 2/2] scsi_scan: introduce a new variable to represent INQUIRY VERSION field

2014-01-22 Thread Sha Zhengju
From: Sha Zhengju As per Doug Gilbert's suggestion, introduce a new variable to represent the resp[2] of standard INQUIRY data. For different scsi devices, the linux scsi_level is computed based on the resp[2] value. This will make the code more easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Sha Zhengju
