Subject[PATCH v3 RESEND_2] scsi: report 'INQUIRY result too short' once per host
Date
Some host adapters (e.g. Hyper-V storvsc) are known for not respecting the
SPC-2/3/4 requirement for 'INQUIRY data (see table ...) shall contain at
least 36 bytes'. As a result we get tons on 'scsi 0:7:1:1: scsi scan:
INQUIRY result too short (5), using 36' messages on console. This can be
problematic for slow consoles. Introduce short_inquiry flag in struct
Scsi_Host to print the message once per host.

Changes since v3 RESEND:
- No changes, this is just a RESEND.

Changes since v3:
- No changes, this is just a RESEND.

Changes since v2:
- This is a successor of previously sent (and still not merged) "scsi:
introduce short_inquiry flag for broken host adapters" patch. I'm not
particularly sure which solution is better but I'm leaning towards this
one as it doesn't require changes to adapter drivers.
