> This is the defintion of the field in SPC (does the UFS spec duplicate all of SPC?), Yes, UFS device specification (both 1.1 and 2.0) supports [SAM], INCITS T10 draft standard: SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5), Revision 05, 19 May 2010 [SPC], INCITS T10 draft standard: SCSI Primary Commands - 4 (SPC-4), Revision 27, 11 October 2010 [SBC], INCITS T10 draft standard: SCSI Block Commands - 3 (SBC-3), Revision 24, 05 August 2010 In addition, this is what specification says explicitly " SCSI SBC and SPC commands are the baseline for UFS. UFS will not modify the SBC and SPC Compliant commands. The goal is to maximize re-use and leverage of the software codebase available on platforms (PC, netbook, MID) that are already supporting SCSI." > but still doesn't explain why you want it. UFS device has supports 4 different well known logical units: "REPORT_LUNS" (address: 01h), "UFS Device" (address: 50h), "RPMB" (address: 44h) and "BOOT" (address: 30h). UFS device's power management needs to be controlled by "POWER CONDITION" field of SSU (START STOP UNIT) command. But this "power condition" field will take effect only when its sent to "UFS device" well known logical unit (address: 50h) hence we require the scsi_device instance to represent this logical unit in order for the UFS host driver to send the SSU command for power management. We also require the scsi_device instance for "RPMB" (Replay Protected Memory Block) LU so user space process can control this LU. > Also the SELECT REPORT field only appeared in SPC-3, so we should not set it for devices that report older standards compliance. Thanks for pointing this out, was not aware of this. We will add appropriate check (if (sdev->scsi_level >= SCSI_SPC_3)) before setting the SELECT REPORT field.

This is the defintion of the field in SPC (does the UFS spec duplicate all of SPC?), but still doesn't explain why you want it. Also the SELECT REPORT field only appeared in SPC-3, so we should not set it for devices that report older standards compliance. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
