Bug 24951

We got another report about a device where ata smart probing causes USB resets:

$ sudo skdump /dev/sdc
Device: sat12:/dev/sdc
Type: 12 Byte SCSI ATA SAT Passthru
Size: 1907348 MiB
Awake: Operation not supported
ATA SMART not supported.

Shortly after getting the skdump, the device was offlined:
Nov 4 20:00:02 bauer kernel: [ 4981.580059] usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

Nov 4 20:01:24 bauer kernel: [ 5063.268779] scsi 6:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery

(This is with disabling the udev rule for dk-d ata smart probe; with it, the device doesn't appear at all).

Should I get an strace from the reporter? Or should we just blacklist this device?
