> This patch handles the recent changes in NetApp RDAC storage firmware to
> report service mode. Firmware changed the inquiry page 0xc9 to report
> service mode. Purpose this change is to avoid DMMP going into infinite
> loop of switching back and forth between controllers when a controller
> is placed in service mode. This fixes the problem and reports the path
> as failed if the controller is placed in service mode.
