adding support for some obsolete SCSI-2 commands

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

 



I just found that kernel 3.6 brought a regression to me as the SEEK_10
command is not longer supported. The SEEK_10 and some other commands
were removed in commit 1fd032ee10d2816c947f5d5b9abda95e728f0a8f
"target: move code for CDB emulation".

We are using KVM virtual machines a lot to run legacy systems which are
still on SCSI-2 level, and which are using the following old commands
even on hard disks:

WRITE_VERIFY    // supported by LIO
RESERVE         // supported by LIO
RELEASE         // supported by LIO
REZERO_UNIT
SEEK_10

I found that many real SCSI disks or external iSCSI storage devices
still support these old commands. So it would be nice if LIO would do
as well. Is this OK?

The implementation for the REZERO_UNIT and SEEK_10 commands can be
empty, i.e simply returning status GOOD.

I would like to post a patch for REZERO_UNIT, SEEK, SEEK_10.
