The current implementation of scsi_vpd_lun_id() uses the designator length
as an implicit measure of priority. This works most of the time, but not
always. For example, some Hitachi storage arrays return this in VPD 0x83:
VPD INQUIRY: Device Identification page
Designation descriptor number 1, descriptor length: 24
designator_type: T10 vendor identification, code_set: ASCII
associated with the Addressed logical unit
vendor id: HITACHI
vendor specific: 5030C3502025
Designation descriptor number 2, descriptor length: 6
designator_type: vendor specific [0x0], code_set: Binary
associated with the Target port
vendor specific: 08 03
Designation descriptor number 3, descriptor length: 20
designator_type: NAA, code_set: Binary
associated with the Addressed logical unit
NAA 6, IEEE Company_id: 0x60e8
Vendor Specific Identifier: 0x7c35000
Vendor Specific Identifier Extension: 0x30c35000002025
[0x60060e8007c350000030c35000002025]
The current code would use the first descriptor because it's longer than
the NAA descriptor. But this is wrong, the kernel is supposed to prefer NAA
descriptors over T10 vendor ID. Designator length should only be used to
compare designators of the same type.
This patch addresses the issue by separating designator priority and
length.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
