http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15185 Summary: Sending a 48bit ATA-Command with "CheckCondition" through SG_IO does not return correct 48bit sense descriptor Product: SCSI Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.31 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Other AssignedTo: scsi_drivers-other@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: stefan.huebner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Example: sending a correct "READ_NATIVE_MAX_ADDRESS_EXT" to /dev/sdd (opened O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK) via ATA_PASSTHROUGH_16 (SCSI-Command 0x85) with the EXTEND and the CHECK_CONDITION bits set to 1 yields sense data in descriptor-format. Unfortunately, the descriptor does not have EXTEND set, and by that only returns 24 Bits of LBA. This obviously is a bug, as the SAT-2 Draft says: "If the sense data is for an ATA PASS-THROUGH (16) command with the EXTEND bit set to one, then the SATL shall return the 48-bit extended status and shall set the EXTEND bit to one."
