Hi Chandra,
Thanks for your comments. I will start working on incorporating your comments however I may need some clarifications. Please see my response inline..

I am fine with this proposal. I will try to see if I can do it without creating merging issues.
I think I can break it into three patches.
a) removal of SCSI_DH_OK in check_ownership() (more below).
b) moving the initialization code to attach()
c) combining 1 and 4.
What do you think?

Right now 1 bit is sufficient. We thought it may be necessary in future in case we want to display only some messages(critical or info but not all) in particular category.

Ok. I will correct it.

If I understood your question correctly, #define may not work well. Reason is, if we have multiple arrays(which is very common) then we cannot differentiate the two arrays.. So we have to have index and array name separately for each array/controller..

Setting the flag by default to SCSI_DH_OK might wrongly report the command as success even though the command had failed. The switch statement here only lists certain check conditions. If the target returns the check conditions other than the listed here then this function will return SCSI_DH_OK which is not correct.

Sometimes we have seen target returning invalid sense. We need to catch that as well. That is the reason we moved this after done.

Failure will be anyway reported by the function mode_select_handle_sense. Did not want to print that again.

I was in a confusion about what will be the right word here. Ok.. I will use "I/O"

You are right.. We don’t need this check here..
