[PATCH] scsi: target: core: Parse APTPL res_type and res_scope as hex
From: Ciro Iriarte
Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 21:26:38 EST
core_scsi3_update_aptpl_buf() saves the reservation holder's type and
scope to the APTPL metadata file as zero-padded hex ("res_type=%02x",
"res_scope=%02x"), but target_pr_res_aptpl_metadata_store() reads them
back with "%d" tokens and match_int(), which parse with base 0. A
leading zero selects octal, so match_token() parses only the "0" of
"res_type=08", the trailing "8" makes the token not match, and the field
is ignored as unknown. An Exclusive Access - All Registrants holder
(type 0x8) is left with type 0 and the write fails with -EINVAL and
Illegal PR type: 0x00 for reservation holder
Userspace that restores APTPL state by writing the saved records back
to pr/res_aptpl_metadata (rtslib-fb does this when it recreates a
storage object) therefore loses every type 8 reservation across a
target restart, and with rtslib the storage object creation fails. The
other valid types (1, 3, 5, 6, 7) and scope 0 only work because their
octal and decimal values coincide.
Keep the on-disk format and parse both fields as hex. The valid type
and scope values have the same hex and decimal representation, so
records written in decimal by hand keep working.
