megasas: Unexpected response from lun 1 while scanning, scan aborted

I am reporting an error that the scsi lun cannot initialize successfully when I
am emulating megasas scsi controller with qemu.

I am not sure if this is issue in qemu or linux kernel.

When 'lun=1' is specified, there is "Unexpected response from lun 1 while
scanning, scan aborted".

Everything works well if 'lun=0' is specified.


Below is the qemu cmdline involved:

-device megasas,id=scsi0 \
-device scsi-hd,drive=drive0,bus=scsi0.0,lun=1 \
-drive file=/home/zhang/img/test.img,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw


Below is the syslog related to 'scsi|SCSI'

# dmesg | grep SCSI
[ 0.392494] SCSI subsystem initialized
[ 0.460666] Block layer SCSI generic (bsg) driver version 0.4 loaded (major 251)

# dmesg | grep scsi

[ 0.702396] scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA QEMU HARDDISK 2.5+ PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

When 'lun=1' is changed to 'lun=0', there is no issue.

Thank you very much!
