Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 589860
lsscsi can return (null) instead of module name

Created attachment 412245 [details] understand both "NULLs" commit 0f4f81dce93774a447da3ceb98cce193ef84a3fa (reported as bug #589613 for RHEL6, already present in Fedora kernels) in kernel changes the string representation of NULL from <NULL> to (null) to be consistent with glibc. This change breaks the handling of the "proc_name" attribute in one_host_handling() and lsscsi is then unable to return module name for a driver. The attached patch changes lsscsi that it understands both "NULLs". Patch is accepted by upstream and will appear in upcoming release.
