what is difference between 6.1 and 5.38

[yibowang1975]

Greetings!

when used 5.38 to smartctl with Ah options,

it reported fail problem on “Log Sense failed, IE page [scsi response fails sanity test]”.looks like it is due to pBuf is not equal to pagenum

but it is not occurred in 6.1 version. so what is difference between 6.1 and 5.38.

for detail error messages and related source code is below

line300:pagenum:0x2f
line302:pBuf[0]:0xaf line302:pBuf[1]:0x00 line302:pBuf[2]:0x00 line302:pBuf[3]:0x0c

Source code.
/* sanity check on response */

if ((SUPPORTED_LPAGES != pagenum) && (pBuf[0] != pagenum))

Log sense response:

The error message from 5.38 is bogus. The log page number in pBuf[0] is only 6 bits wide. This is fixed since r3217.
