[ Upstream commit 4b1a2c2a8e ]
Some storage, such as AIX VDASD (virtual storage) and IBM 2076 (front
end), fail as a result of commit c92a6b5d63 ("scsi: core: Query VPD
size before getting full page").
That commit changed getting SCSI VPD pages so that we now read just
enough of the page to get the actual page size, then read the whole
page in a second read. The problem is that the above mentioned
hardware returns zero for the page size, because of a firmware
error. In such cases, until the firmware is fixed, this new blacklist
flag says to revert to the original method of reading the VPD pages,
i.e. try to read a whole buffer's worth on the first try.
[mkp: reworked somewhat]
Fixes: c92a6b5d63 ("scsi: core: Query VPD size before getting full page")
