Yes. (offloaded to user space) You use the user space program called "expander_conf.c" to send SMP requests and receive SMP responses. An example output of "expander_conf.c" for a domain is shown here: (everything you want to know about expanders): http://linux.adaptec.com/sas/Announce_2.txt The domain of the above is shown here: http://linux.adaptec.com/sas/Announce_1.txt > Same question for sending link and phy resets for expander phys? Yes, for both local phys and domain device phys, any device claiming an SMP port. Local phys ---------- If the LLDD provides this, it fills out the function stub: /* Phy management */ int (*lldd_control_phy)(struct sas_phy *, enum phy_func); in the "struct sas_ha_struct" structure before it registers with the SAS Transport Layer. See include/scsi/sas/sas_class.h drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_init.c::asd_register_sas_ha(), and drivers/scsi/sas/README. (When the SAS LLDD (aic94xx) registers with the SAS Transport layer, it declares all the phys the HA has; this is in struct sas_ha_struct::struct sas_phy **sas_phy; This is so that the SAS Transport layer can control the phys to form ports, etc, as stipulated in http://linux.adaptec.com/sas/Announce_0.txt.) Then you do: sas_ha->lldd_control_phy(phy, func); where, struct sas_ha_struct *sas_ha; struct sas_phy *phy; enum phy_func func; See include/scsi/sas/sas.h and include/scsi/sas/sas_class.h Phys on Domain devices with an SMP port --------------------------------------- Execute SCSI Command RPC is used to send SMP tasks: This is from drivers/scsi/sas/sas_expander.c: << line 480 >> #define PC_REQ_SIZE 44 #define PC_RESP_SIZE 8 static int smp_phy_control(struct domain_device *dev, int phy_id, enum phy_func phy_func) { u8 *pc_req; u8 *pc_resp; int res; pc_req = alloc_smp_req(PC_REQ_SIZE); if (!pc_req) return -ENOMEM; pc_resp = alloc_smp_resp(PC_RESP_SIZE); if (!pc_resp) { kfree(pc_req); return -ENOMEM; } pc_req[1] = SMP_PHY_CONTROL; pc_req[9] = phy_id; pc_req[10]= phy_func; res = smp_execute_task(dev, pc_req, PC_REQ_SIZE, pc_resp,PC_RESP_SIZE); kfree(pc_resp); kfree(pc_req); return res; } Then you can look up the implementation of static int smp_execute_task(struct domain_device *dev, void *req, int req_size, void *resp, int resp_size) on line 175 of drivers/scsi/sas/sas_expander.c, and you can follow it up to task->dev->port->ha->lldd_execute_task(task, 1, GFP_KERNEL); where lldd_execute_task() is implemented in drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_task.c, on line 555: int asd_execute_task(struct sas_task *task, const int num, unsigned long gfp_flags) which immediately sends the task out on the interconnect. (Nugget: "dev->port" doesn't _necessarily_ mean that "dev" /formed/ "port", but that "dev" is reachable /through/ "port".

In the SAS Transport Layer, all this has been off loaded to user space. See drivers/scsi/sas/README "Expander management from User Space" section (bottom of file). > For fusion, these new attributes only work for the phys on the hba.
