Subject: [PATCH RFC] scsi: blacklist: add VMware ESXi cdrom - broken tray emulation.
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 13:45:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191024114535.1559-1-msuchanek@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <15c972ea-5b3a-487f-7be5-a62d780896da@suse.de>

The WMware ESXi cdrom identifies itself as:
sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] scsi3-mmc drive: vendor: "NECVMWarVMware SATA CD001.00"
model: "VMware SATA CD001.00"
with the following get_capabilities print in sr.c:
        sr_printk(KERN_INFO, cd,
                  "scsi3-mmc drive: vendor: \"%s\" model: \"%s\"\n",
                  cd->device->vendor, cd->device->model);

The model looks like reliable identification while vendor does not.

The drive claims to have a tray and claims to be able to close it.
However, the UI has no notion of a tray - when medium is ejected it is
dropped in the floor and the user must select a medium again before the
drive can be re-loaded.  On the kernel side the tray_move call to close
the tray succeeds but the drive state does not change as a result of the
call.

The drive does not in fact emulate the tray state. There are two ways to
get the medium state. One is the SCSI status:

Physical drive:

Fixed format, current; Sense key: Not Ready
Additional sense: Medium not present - tray open
Raw sense data (in hex):
        70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0a  00 00 00 00 3a 02 00 00
        00 00

Fixed format, current; Sense key: Not Ready
Additional sense: Medium not present - tray closed
 Raw sense data (in hex):
        70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0a  00 00 00 00 3a 01 00 00
        00 00

VMware ESXi:

Fixed format, current; Sense key: Not Ready
Additional sense: Medium not present
  Info fld=0x0 [0]
 Raw sense data (in hex):
        f0 00 02 00 00 00 00 0a  00 00 00 00 3a 00 00 00
        00 00

So the tray state is not reported here. Other is medium status which the
kernel prefers if available. Adding a print here gives:

cdrom: get_media_event success: code = 0, door_open = 1, medium_present = 0

door_open is interpreted as open tray. This is fine so long as tray_move
would close the tray when requested or report an error which never
happens on VMware ESXi servers (5.5 and 6.5 tested).

This is a popular virtualization platform so a workaround is worthwhile.
