Damien Le Moal a6a75edc86 ata: libata-scsi: Set the RMB bit only for removable media devices 
The SCSI Removable Media Bit (RMB) should only be set for removable media,
where the device stays and the media changes, e.g. CD-ROM or floppy.

The ATA removable media device bit is obsoleted since ATA-8 ACS (2006),
but before that it was used to indicate that the device can have its media
removed (while the device stays).

Commit 8a3e33cf92 ("ata: ahci: find eSATA ports and flag them as
removable") introduced a change to set the RMB bit if the port has either
the eSATA bit or the hot-plug capable bit set. The reasoning was that the
author wanted his eSATA ports to get treated like a USB stick.

This is however wrong. See "20-082r23SPC-6: Removable Medium Bit
Expectations" which has since been integrated to SPC, which states that:

"""
Reports have been received that some USB Memory Stick device servers set
the removable medium (RMB) bit to one. The rub comes when the medium is
actually removed, because... The device server is removed concurrently
with the medium removal. If there is no device server, then there is no
device server that is waiting to have removable medium inserted.

Sufficient numbers of SCSI analysts see such a device:
- not as a device that supports removable medium;
but
- as a removable, hot pluggable device.
"""

The definition of the RMB bit in the SPC specification has since been
clarified to match this.

Thus, a USB stick should not have the RMB bit set (and neither shall an
eSATA nor a hot-plug capable port).

Commit dc8b4afc4a ("ata: ahci: don't mark HotPlugCapable Ports as
external/removable") then changed so that the RMB bit is only set for the
eSATA bit (and not for the hot-plug capable bit), because of a lot of bug
reports of SATA devices were being automounted by udisks. However,
treating eSATA and hot-plug capable ports differently is not correct.

From the AHCI 1.3.1 spec:
Hot Plug Capable Port (HPCP): When set to '1', indicates that this port's
signal and power connectors are externally accessible via a joint signal
and power connector for blindmate device hot plug.

So a hot-plug capable port is an external port, just like commit
45b96d65ec ("ata: ahci: a hotplug capable port is an external port")
claims.

In order to not violate the SPC specification, modify the SCSI INQUIRY
data to only set the RMB bit if the ATA device can have its media removed.

This fixes a reported problem where GNOME/udisks was automounting devices
connected to hot-plug capable ports.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
