[PATCH v3 0/3] block: sed-opal: Generic Read/Write Opal Tables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series of patches aims at extending SED Opal support:
1. Generalizing write data to any opal table
2. Add an IOCTL for reading/writing any Opal Table with Admin-1 authority
3. Introduce Opal Datastore UID, which can be accessed using above ioctl

Datastore feature described in:
https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TCG_Storage-Opal_Feature_Set-Additional_DataStore_Tables_v1_00_r1_00_Final.pdf

Opal Application Note:
https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TCG_Storage_Opal_SSC_Application_Note_1-00_1-00-Final.pdf

This feature has been successfully tested on OPAL Datastore and MBR table using
internal tools with an Intel SSD and an Intel Optane.

Changes from v2:
	1. Drop a patch which exposes UIDs in UAPI.
	2. Fix coding styles wherever required based on LKML feedbacks.
	3. Eliminate a few redundant assignments in the code.
	4. Add a break under copy_from_user error condition in
           generic_table_write_data func.
	5. A few refactoring/cleanups in both the patches.
	6. Introduce a new patch which introduces Opal Datastore table UID.

Changes from v1:
	1. Fix the spelling mistake in the commit message.
	2. Introduce a length check condition before Copy To User in
           opal_read_table function to facilitate user with easy debugging.
	3. Introduce switch cases in the opal_generic_read_write_table ioctl
           function.
	4. Move read/write table opal_step to discrete functions to reduce the
           load on the ioctl function.
	5. Introduce 'opal table operations' enumeration in uapi.
	6. Remove tabs before the #defines in opal_read_write_table structure
           to improve the code readability.
	7. Drop a patch which exposes UIDs in UAPI.
	8. Eliminate a few redundant assignments in the code.
	9. Add a break under copy_from_user error condition in
           generic_table_write_data func.
	10. A few refactoring/cleanups in both the patches
	11. Introduce a new patch which introduces Opal Datastore table UID.
