[PATCH v2 00/18] sg: add v4 interface

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

 



This patchset extends the SCSI generic (sg) driver found in lk 5.3 .
The sg driver has a version number which is visible via
ioctl(SG_GET_VERSION_NUM) and is bumped from 3.5.36 to 4.0.03 by this
patchset. The additions and changes are described in some detail in
this long webpage:
    http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg_v40.html

Most new features described in the above webpage are not implemented
in this patchset. Features that are not included are file descriptor
sharing, request sharing, multiple requests (in one invocation) and
the extended ioctl(). A later patchset may add those features. The
SG_IOSUMIT, SG_IOSUBMIT_V3, SG_IORECEIVE and SG_IORECEIVE_V3 ioctls
are added in this patchset.

Testing:
The sg3_utils package has several extensions in sg3_utils-1.45 beta
(revision 829 (see http://sg.danny.cz/sg)) to support and test the
version 4 sg driver presented in this patchset.
The new and revised testing utilities are outlined on the
same webpage as above in the second half of the section
titled: "15 Downloads and testing".

This patchset is against Martin Petersen's 5.4/scsi-queue branch.
To apply this patchset to lk 5.2 and earlier, the ktime_get_boottime_ns()
call needs to be changed back to ktime_get_boot_ns().

Changes since v1 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20190616):
  - change ktime_get_boot_ns() to ktime_get_boottime_ns() to reflect
    kernel API change first seen in lk 5.3.0-rc1
