scsi: sd: Fix cache_type_store()
Changing of caching mode via /sys/devices/.../scsi_disk/.../cache_type may fail if device responds to MODE SENSE command with DPOFUA flag set, and then checks this flag to be not set on MODE SELECT command. In this scenario, when trying to change cache_type, write always fails: # echo "none" >cache_type bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument And following appears in dmesg: [13007.865745] sd 1:0:1:0: [sda] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [13007.865753] sd 1:0:1:0: [sda] Add. Sense: Invalid field in parameter list From SBC-4 r15, 6.5.1 "Mode pages overview", description of DEVICE-SPECIFIC PARAMETER field in the mode parameter header: ... The write protect (WP) bit for mode data sent with a MODE SELECT command shall be ignored by the device server. ... The DPOFUA bit is reserved for mode data sent with a MODE SELECT command. ... The remaining bits in the DEVICE-SPECIFIC PARAMETER byte are also reserved and shall be set to zero.
