scsi_get_vpd_page9

Get vital product data from a scsi device

Arguments

sdev

The device to ask

page

Which Vital Product Data to return

buf

where to store the VPD

buf_len

number of bytes in the VPD buffer area

Overview

SCSI devices may optionally supply Vital Product Data. Each 'page' of VPD is defined in the appropriate SCSI document (eg SPC, SBC). If the device supports this VPD page, this routine returns a pointer to a buffer containing the data from that page. The caller is responsible for calling kfree on this pointer when it is no longer needed. If we cannot retrieve the VPD page this routine returns NULL.
