Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: [SCSI] stex: fix scan of nonexistent lun
Problem Details: During a manual scan, a user can send command to a nonexistent lun, precisely at the point of max_lun. Normally it's possible (but not required) that the firmware has the knowledge that it is an invalid lun. In the particular case when max_lun is 256, however, the nonexistent lun 256 will be confused w...
