Richard Yao bff32e0972 Implement database to workaround misreported physical sector sizes ... This implements vdev_bdev_database_check(). It alters the detected sector size of any device listed in a database of drives known to lie about their physical sector sizes. This is based on "6931570 Add flash devices' VID/PID to disk table to advertising 4K physical sector size" from Open Solaris and on sg_simple4.c from sg3_utils. About two dozen lines are taken from sg_simple4.c, which is GPLv2 licensed. However, sg_simple4.c is analogous to a Hello World program and is safe for us to use. We requested that Douglas Gilbert, the author of sg_simple4.c, confirm that this is the case. A cutdown version of his response is as follows: ``` I would consider a SCSI INQUIRY example using the Linux sg driver interface (also written by me) as the equivalent of an "hello world" program in C. ``` The database was created with the help of the freenode and ZFSOnLinux communities. Some notes: 1. The following drives both were confirmed to lie via reports in IRC and they contain capacity information in their identifiers: INTEL SSDSA2M080 INTEL SSDSA2M160 M4-CT256M4SSD2 WDC WD15EARS-00S WDC WD15EARS-00Z WDC WD20EARS-00M The identifiers for different capacity models were extrapolated and added under the assumption that those models also lie. Google was used to verify that the extrapolated drive identifiers existed prior to their inclusion. 2. The OCZ-VERTEX2 3.5 identifer applies to two drives that differ solely in page size (and slightly in capacity). One uses 4096-byte pages and the other uses 8192-byte pages. Both are set to use 8192-byte pages. We could detect the page size by checking the capacity, but that would unnecessarily complicate the code. 3. It is possible for updated drive firmware to correctly report the sector size. There were reports of a few advanced format drives doing that. One report stated that the vendor changed the identification string while another was unclear on this. Both reports involved WDC models. 4. Google was used to determine the size of pages in the listed flash devices. Reports of 8192-byte pages took precedence over reports of 4096-byte pages. 5. Devices behind USB adapters can have their identification strings altered. Identification strings obtained across USB adapters are omitted and no attempt is made to correct for alterations made by USB adapters when doing comparisons against the database. Two entries in the Open Solaris database that appear to have been altered by a USB adapter were omitted.
