Hi, I have a SCSI controller thats need to be tested for correct performance with all the SG_ and SCSI_ ioctls. I've been using the sg3_utils package to do this so far. The various programs in sg3_utils issue calls to different ioctls depending on the command line arguments passed onto them. I would like to have just one program that issues calls to a few IOCTLs that I really care about, and want to calls to these IOCTLs lined up in a C program like this: =================================================================== if ((res = ioctl(sg_fd, SG_GET_VERSION_NUM, &ver) < 0)) { printf("IOCTL SG_GET_VERSION_NUM failed\n"); return 1; } printf("SG_GET_VERSION_NUM:\n"); printf("\tversion = %d\n", ver); if ((res = ioctl(sg_fd, SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN, &my_idlun) < 0)) { printf("IOCTL SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN failed\n"); return 1; } printf("SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN:\n"); printf("\tchannel = %d\n\tid = %d\t\n\tlun = %d\n", (my_idlun.dev_id >> 16) & 0xff, my_idlun.dev_id & 0xff, (my_idlun.dev_id >> 8) & 0xff); =================================================================== I want to know if doing the above is OK? I do not know if calling certain IOCTLs in a specific order has any problems/issues. Also, if the above program reports success for all the IOCTLs called, it is safe to assume that the scsi controller is able to handle all IOCTLs properly?
