[PATCH] USB Storage: Force starget->scsi_level in usb-storage scsiglue.c
When the usb-storage module forces sdev->scsi_level to SCSI_2, it should also force starget->scsi_level to the same value. Otherwise, the SCSI layer may attempt to issue SCSI-3 commands to the device, such as REPORT LUNS, which it cannot handle. This can prevent the device from working with Linux. The AMS Venus DS3 DS2316SU2S SATA-to-SATA+USB enclosure, based on the Oxford Semiconductor OXU921S chip, requires this patch to function correctly on Linux. The enclosure reports a SCSI-3 SPC-2 command set level, but does not correctly handle the REPORT LUNS SCSI command - probably due to a bug in its firmware. It seems likely that other USB storage enclosures with similar bugs will also benefit from this patch. Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> collaborated in the development of this patch.
