commit 321da3dc1f3c92a12e3c5da934090d2992a8814c upstream.
It has been observed that some USB/UAS devices return generic properties hardcoded in firmware for mode pages for a period of time after a device has been discovered. The reported properties are either garbage or they do not accurately reflect the characteristics of the physical storage device attached in the case of a bridge.
Prior to commit 1e029397d12f ("scsi: sd: Reorganize DIF/DIX code to avoid calling revalidate twice") we would call revalidate several times during device discovery. As a result, incorrect values would eventually get replaced with ones accurately describing the attached storage. When we did away with the redundant revalidate pass, several cases were reported where devices reported nonsensical values or would end up in write-protected state.
An initial attempt at addressing this issue involved introducing a delayed second revalidate invocation. However, this approach still left some devices reporting incorrect characteristics.
Tasos Sahanidis debugged the problem further and identified that introducing a READ operation prior to MODE SENSE fixed the problem and that it wasn't a timing issue. Issuing a READ appears to cause the devices to update their state to reflect the actual properties of the storage media. Device properties like vendor, model, and storage capacity appear to be correctly reported from the get-go. It is unclear why these devices defer populating the remaining characteristics.
Match the behavior of a well known commercial operating system and trigger a READ operation prior to querying device characteristics to force the device to populate the mode pages.
The additional READ is triggered by a flag set in the USB storage and UAS drivers. We avoid issuing the READ for other transport classes since some storage devices identify Linux through our particular discovery command sequence.
