Libata Pass Through PIO Multi Support

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

 



Hi Folks,

In ata_scsi_pass_thru() function in libata-scsi.c, the following code
is in place:
       if (scsicmd[1] & 0xe0)
               /* PIO multi not supported yet */
               goto invalid_fld;
Could someone explain why the PIO multi is not supported in libata pass through?

As an experiments, I commented out above code and added code to
support Set Multiple Mode. It seems PIO Multi works. But again, there
may be some caveates which I am not aware of.

I use 2.6.18-rc2 and libata 2.00. Above code exists in latest revision
like 2.6.19.2 as well.

Thanks,
Fajun
