#ifndef _SCSI_GENERIC_H
#define _SCSI_GENERIC_H
/*
History:
Started: Aug 9 by Lawrence Foard (entropy@world.std.com), to allow user
process control of SCSI devices.
Development Sponsored by Killy Corp. NY NY
Original driver (sg.h):
* Copyright (C) 1992 Lawrence Foard
2.x extensions to driver:
* Copyright (C) 1998, 1999 Douglas Gilbert
Version: 2.3.35 (990708)
This version for 2.3 series kernels. It only differs from sg version
2.1.35 used in the 2.2 series kernels by changes to wait_queue. This
in an internal kernel interface and should not effect users.
D. P. Gilbert (dgilbert@interlog.com, dougg@triode.net.au)
Changes since 2.1.34 (990603)
- add queuing info into struct sg_scsi_id
- block negative timeout values
- add back write() wait on previous read() when no cmd queuing
Changes since 2.1.33 (990521)
- implement SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE and associated memory re-org.
- add SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN to override SCSI command lengths
- add SG_GET_VERSION_NUM to get version expressed as an integer
Changes since 2.1.32 (990501)
- fix race condition in sg_read() and sg_open()
Changes since 2.1.31 (990327)
- add ioctls SG_GET_UNDERRUN_FLAG and _SET_. Change the default
to _not_ flag underruns (affects aic7xxx driver)
- clean up logging of pointers to use %p (for 64 bit architectures)
- rework usage of get_user/copy_to_user family of kernel calls
- "disown" scsi_command blocks before releasing them
Changes since 2.1.30 (990320)
- memory tweaks: change flags on kmalloc (GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC)
- increase max allowable mid-level pool usage
New features and changes:
- per file descriptor (fd) write-read sequencing and command queues.
- command queuing supported (SG_MAX_QUEUE is maximum per fd).
- scatter-gather supported (allowing potentially megabyte transfers).
- the SCSI target, host and driver status are returned
in unused fields of sg_header (maintaining its original size).
- asynchronous notification support added (SIGPOLL, SIGIO) for
read()s (write()s should never block).
- pack_id logic added so read() can wait for a specific pack_id.
- uses memory > ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD if adapter allows it (e.g. a
pci scsi adapter).
- this driver no longer uses a single SG_BIG_BUFF sized buffer
obtained at driver/module init time. Rather it tries to obtain a
SG_DEF_RESERVED_SIZE buffer when a fd is open()ed and frees it
at the corresponding release() (ie per fd). Actually the "buffer"
may be a collection of buffers if scatter-gather is being used.
- add SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctl allowing the user to request a
large buffer for duration of current file descriptor's lifetime.
- SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctl can be used to find out how much
actually has been reserved.
- add SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl to override SCSI command length on
the next write() to this file descriptor.
- SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE's presence as a symbol can be used for
compile time identification of the version 2 sg driver.
However, it is recommended that run time identification based on
calling the ioctl of the same name is a more flexible and
safer approach.
- adds several ioctl calls, see ioctl section below.
Good documentation on the original "sg" device interface and usage can be
found in the Linux HOWTO document: "SCSI Programming HOWTO" (version 0.5)
by Heiko Eissfeldt; last updated 7 May 1996. Here is a quick summary of
sg basics:
An SG device is accessed by writing SCSI commands plus any associated
outgoing data to it; the resulting status codes and any incoming data
are then obtained by a read call. The device can be opened O_NONBLOCK
(non-blocking) and poll() used to monitor its progress. The device may be
opened O_EXCL which excludes other "sg" users from this device (but not
"sd", "st" or "sr" users). The buffer given to the write() call is made
up as follows:
- struct sg_header image (see below)
- scsi command (6, 10 or 12 bytes long)
- data to be written to the device (if any)
The buffer received from the corresponding read() call contains:
- struct sg_header image (check results + sense_buffer)
- data read back from device (if any)
The given SCSI command has its LUN field overwritten internally by the
value associated with the device that has been opened.
This device currently uses "indirect IO" in the sense that data is
DMAed into kernel buffers from the hardware and afterwards is
transferred into the user space (or vice versa if you are writing).
Transfer speeds or up to 20 to 30MBytes/sec have been measured using
indirect IO. For faster throughputs "direct IO" which cuts out the
double handling of data is required. This will also need a new interface.
Grabbing memory for those kernel buffers used in this driver for DMA may
cause the dreaded ENOMEM error. This error seems to be more prevalent
under early 2.2.x kernels than under the 2.0.x kernel series. For a given
(large) transfer the memory obtained by this driver must be contiguous or
scatter-gather must be used (if supported by the adapter). [Furthermore,
ISA SCSI adapters can only use memory below the 16MB level on a i386.]
When a "sg" device is open()ed O_RDWR then this driver will attempt to
reserve a buffer of SG_DEF_RESERVED_SIZE that will be used by subsequent
write()s on this file descriptor as long as:
- it is not already in use (eg when command queuing is in use)
- the write() does not call for a buffer size larger than the
reserved size.
In these cases the write() will attempt to find the memory it needs for
DMA buffers dynamically and in the worst case will fail with ENOMEM.
The amount of memory actually reserved depends on various dynamic factors
and can be checked with the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctl(). [In a very
tight memory situation it may yield 0!] The size of the reserved buffer
can be changed with the SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctl(). It should be
followed with a call to the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctl() to find out how
much was actually reserved.
