NAME

6       scsi_normalize_sense - normalize main elements from either fixed or
7       descriptor sense data format into a common format.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       int scsi_normalize_sense(const u8 * sense_buffer, int sb_len,
11                                struct scsi_sense_hdr * sshdr);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       sense_buffer
15           byte array containing sense data returned by device
16
17       sb_len
18           number of valid bytes in sense_buffer
19
20       sshdr
21           pointer to instance of structure that common elements are written
22           to.
23

NOTES

25       The “main elements” from sense data are: response_code, sense_key, asc,
26       ascq and additional_length (only for descriptor format).
27
28       Typically this function can be called after a device has responded to a
29       SCSI command with the CHECK_CONDITION status.

RETURN VALUE

32       1 if valid sense data information found, else 0;
