Recently it was reported that the following USB storage devices are unusable with Linux kernel 6.9: * Kingston DataTraveler G2 * Garmin FR35
This is because attempting to read the IO hint VPD page causes these devices to reset. Hence do not read the IO hint VPD page from USB storage devices.

You might want to do the same thing in uas.c. I don't know if UAS devices suffer from the same problem, but it wouldn't be surprising if they do.

Hi Alan,
How about replacing patch 2/2 from this series with the patch below?
Thanks,
Bart.

Besides no need to repeat these Cc's in case there are other tags for the same emails, can you move the rest of Cc's after the --- line below? For you it will be the same effect, for many others the Git history won't be polluted with this noise.

I will leave out the redundant Cc's but I'm surprised by the request to move Cc tags after the --- line. There are many patches with Cc: tags in Linus' tree. I have never before seen anyone requesting to move Cc tags after the --- line.
Thanks,
Bart.

I know, and that's why I am asking for them to be moved away. It's just duplicate information and since we have lore.kernel.org, we may always get the real message with the same data, no need to repeat this in Git history.
