Hi,
I am working on FreeBSD support for smartmontools project. Current (SVN)
version uses 48bit ATA command READ LOG EXT to query some drive
information. I found that it is not possible to send this command to the
ATA device using IOCATAREQUEST in FreeBSD.
As far as I understand sys/dev/ata/ata-all.c, the IOCATAREQUEST has no
support to set the internal ATA_D_48BIT_ACTIVE flag. This flag is set
later by ata_modify_if_48bit() function for some common commands (READ,
WRITE, ...) only, it is not set for READ_LOG_EXT. It is not possible to
set 48bit flag with current ioctl.
The following additions are required for a reasonable pass-through ioctl:
sys/ata.h:
struct ata_ioc_request {
...
int count;
int flags;
#define ATA_CMD_CONTROL 0x01
#define ATA_CMD_READ 0x02
#define ATA_CMD_WRITE 0x04
#define ATA_CMD_ATAPI 0x08
+#define ATA_CMD_48BIT 0x10 // 48-bit command
+#define ATA_CMD_NO_MULTIPLE 0x20 // one DRQ/sector
int timeout;
int error;
};
Here a list of 48-bit commands (provided by Christian Franke from
latest ACS 2 draft (T13/2015-D Revision 2). The FreeBSD function
ata_modify_if_48bit() selects commands marked with *** if their 28-bit
variants are requested and 48 bit addressing is actually required. Only
in this case ATA_D_48BIT_ACTIVE is set. The other commands are not
supported, I presume.
mandatory, 28-bit variants exist:
FLUSH CACHE EXT ***
READ DMA EXT ***
READ MULTIPLE EXT ***
READ SECTOR(S) EXT ***
READ VERIFY SECTOR(S) EXT ***
WRITE DMA EXT ***
WRITE DMA FUA EXT
WRITE MULTIPLE EXT ***
WRITE MULTIPLE FUA EXT
WRITE SECTOR(S) EXT ***
optional, 28-bit variants exist:
READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS EXT ***
SET MAX ADDRESS EXT ***
WRITE UNCORRECTABLE EXT
optional, 48-bit only:
CONFIGURE STREAM
DATA SET MANAGEMENT
READ FPDMA QUEUED
READ LOG DMA EXT
READ LOG EXT
READ STREAM DMA EXT
READ STREAM EXT
REQUEST SENSE DATA EXT
WRITE FPDMA QUEUED
WRITE LOG DMA EXT
WRITE LOG EXT
WRITE STREAM DMA EXT
WRITE STREAM EXT
NV Cache (7 subcommands, possible vendor specific commands)
Sanitize Device (5 subcommands)
There might also be 48-bit commands not defined by ATA ACS in the
command ranges reserved for other standards (Compact Flash, SATA, Media
Card, Vendor specific).
Please, tell me if it is possible to extend this ioctl to support 48bit
commands, or if there is another solution for this.
