Re: Kernel 6.8.4 regression: aacraid controller not initialized any more, system boot hangs

Hi Peter!

Thanks for the detailed bug report.

6.8.8+ WORKS Revert "scsi: core: Consult supported VPD page list prior to fetching page" - This reverts commit b5fc07a5fb56216a49e6c1d0b172d5464d99a89b (this is the first bad commit of my bisect session, see below, and a single patch as part of the above merged tag 'scsi-fixes')

The puzzling thing is that the patch in question restores the original behavior in which we do not attempt to query any pages not explicitly reported by the device.

Can you please send me the output of:

# sg_vpd -a /dev/sda # sg_readcap -l /dev/sda

where sda is one of the aacraid volumes.

Thanks!
