[dm-devel] [PATCH 01/19] libmultipath: Increase SERIAL_SIZE to 128 bytes

[Martin Wilck]

From: Kyle Mahlkuch <kmahlkuc at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Certain IBM FlashSystem LUNs can return up to 85 bytes of serial
number in the Unit Serial Number VPD page, which is larger than
the current SERIAL_SIZE definition of 65 bytes. Since the max
size of this field does not appear to be defined in SPC, increasing
to 128 bytes should hopefully prevent us from hitting this
in future.

This is an example of a serial number from a FlashSystem:
Unit serial number VPD page:
Unit serial number: 3321360050764008101AB300000000000012204214503IBMfcp

Before this patch multipath returns the error:
Jul 17 11:24:58 | vpd pg80 overflow, 85/65 bytes required

After the patch is applied the error no longer occur.
