Well that's cool. It would be better the application had a description
of failures, rather than returning a vague ENXIO. Looks like 7 bytes
covers ioc_status(2 bytes), log_info (4 bytes), and sas_status(1 byte),
or better yet, lets return the entire mf reply, which looks to be 28
bytes. It doesn't matter. However, I'm not sure how to copy smprep
into sg_io_v4->response..I noticed that request frame is obtained from
rsp->bio, and the reply frame is returned via rsp->bio. Any
suggestions?
Here is the reply message frame format, Let me know if you need any
details on the those three fields.
/* Serial Management Protocol Passthrough Reply */
typedef struct _MSG_SMP_PASSTHROUGH_REPLY
{
U8 PassthroughFlags; /* 00h */
U8 PhysicalPort; /* 01h */
U8 MsgLength; /* 02h */
U8 Function; /* 03h */
U16 ResponseDataLength; /* 04h */
U8 Reserved1; /* 06h */
U8 MsgFlags; /* 07h */
U32 MsgContext; /* 08h */
U8 Reserved2; /* 0Ch */
U8 SASStatus; /* 0Dh */
U16 IOCStatus; /* 0Eh */
U32 IOCLogInfo; /* 10h */
U32 Reserved3; /* 14h */
U8 ResponseData[4]; /* 18h */
}
