Name

scsi_normalize_sense — normalize main elements from either fixed or descriptor sense data format into a common format.

Synopsis

bool scsi_normalize_sense (const u8 * sense_buffer,
 int sb_len,
 struct scsi_sense_hdr * sshdr);
 

Arguments

sense_buffer

byte array containing sense data returned by device

sb_len

number of valid bytes in sense_buffer

sshdr

pointer to instance of structure that common elements are written to.

Notes

The “main elements” from sense data are: response_code, sense_key, asc, ascq and additional_length (only for descriptor format).

Typically this function can be called after a device has responded to a SCSI command with the CHECK_CONDITION status.

Return value

true if valid sense data information found, else false;
