That implies, then, that you would add code to libata-scsi.c that
translates the ATA-passthru SCSI command into an ATA command using the
ata_scsi_translate() infrastructure.
Speaking of which - I'm working on this and want to find like
minded people playing in the libata-scsi.c/04-262r<n>.pdf
sandbox, and collaborate with them.
If you're one of these people, ping me off list and we
can pool our efforts.
I am trying convince someone to do it for me, since I'm working on new
controller support ATM ;-)
It shouldn't be hard -- just a new function "ata_scsi_passthru_xlat"
that translates the 04-262r<n>.pdf opcode into struct ata_taskfile.
That's all that's needed for Step One.
John mentioned he might look at it... but why don't you guys (and
everyone else interested) just work publicly on linux-ide? Share the
knowledge and patches :)
