The legay ide driver has been replace with libata starting in 2003 and has been scheduled for removal for a while. Finally kill it off so that we can start cleaning up various bits of cruft it forced on the block layer. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Summary of `HDIO_` ioctl calls
|
|
==============================
|
|

November, 2004
|
|
|
|
This document attempts to describe the ioctl(2) calls supported by
|
|
the HD/IDE layer. These are by-and-large implemented (as of Linux 5.11)
|
|
drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c.
|
|
|
|
ioctl values are listed in <linux/hdreg.h>. As of this writing, they
|
|
are as follows:
|
|
|
|
ioctls that pass argument pointers to user space:
|
|
|
|
======================= =======================================
|
|
HDIO_GETGEO get device geometry
|
|
HDIO_GET_32BIT get current io_32bit setting
|
|
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY get IDE identification info
|
|
HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE execute raw taskfile
|
|
HDIO_DRIVE_TASK execute task and special drive command
|
|
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD execute a special drive command
|
|
======================= =======================================
|
|
|
|
ioctls that pass non-pointer values:
|
|
|
|
======================= =======================================
|
|
HDIO_SET_32BIT change io_32bit flags
|
|
======================= =======================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
The information that follows was determined from reading kernel source
|
|
code. It is likely that some corrections will be made over time.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
General:
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return 0 on success
|
|
and -1 with errno set to an appropriate value on error.
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return -1 and set
|
|
errno to EFAULT on a failed attempt to copy data to or from user
|
|
address space.
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise specified, all data structures and constants
|
|
are defined in <linux/hdreg.h>
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
HDIO_GETGEO
|
|
get device geometry
|
|
|
|
|
|
usage::
|
|
|
|
struct hd_geometry geom;
|
|
|
|
ioctl(fd, HDIO_GETGEO, &geom);
|
|
|
|
|
|
inputs:
|
|
none
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outputs:
|
|
hd_geometry structure containing:
|
|
|
|
|
|
========= ==================================
|
|
heads number of heads
|
|
sectors number of sectors/track
|
|
cylinders number of cylinders, mod 65536
|
|
start starting sector of this partition.
|
|
========= ==================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
error returns:
|
|
- EINVAL
|
|
|
|
if the device is not a disk drive or floppy drive,
|
|
or if the user passes a null pointer
|
|
|
|
|
|
notes:
|
|
Not particularly useful with modern disk drives, whose geometry
|
|
is a polite fiction anyway. Modern drives are addressed
|
|
purely by sector number nowadays (lba addressing), and the
|
|
drive geometry is an abstraction which is actually subject
|
|
to change. Currently (as of Nov 2004), the geometry values
|
|
are the "bios" values -- presumably the values the drive had
|
|
when Linux first booted.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the cylinders field of the hd_geometry is an
|
|
unsigned short, meaning that on most architectures, this
|
|
ioctl will not return a meaningful value on drives with more
|
|
than 65535 tracks.
|
|
|
|
The start field is unsigned long, meaning that it will not
|
|
contain a meaningful value for disks over 219 Gb in size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY
|
|
get IDE identification info
|
|
|
|
|
|
usage::
|
|
|
|
unsigned char identity[512];
|
|
|
|
ioctl(fd, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, identity);
|
|
|
|
inputs:
|
|
none
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outputs:
|
|
ATA drive identity information. For full description, see
|
|
the IDENTIFY DEVICE and IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE commands in
|
|
the ATA specification.
|
|
|
|
error returns:
|
|
- EINVAL Called on a partition instead of the whole disk device
|
|
- ENOMSG IDENTIFY DEVICE information not available
|
|
|
|
notes:
|
|
Returns information that was obtained when the drive was
|
|
probed. Some of this information is subject to change, and
|
|
this ioctl does not re-probe the drive to update the
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
This information is also available from /proc/ide/hdX/identify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HDIO_GET_32BIT
|
|
get current io_32bit setting
|
|
|
|
|
|
usage::
|
|
|
|
long val;
|
|
|
|
ioctl(fd, HDIO_GET_32BIT, &val);
|
|
|
|
inputs:
|
|
none
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outputs:
|
|
The value of the current io_32bit setting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
notes:
|
|
0=16-bit, 1=32-bit, 2,3 = 32bit+sync
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE
|
|
execute raw taskfile
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
If you don't have a copy of the ANSI ATA specification
|
|
handy, you should probably ignore this ioctl.
|
|
|
|
- Execute an ATA disk command directly by writing the "taskfile"
|
|
registers of the drive. Requires ADMIN and RAWIO access
|
|
privileges.
|
|
|
|
usage::
|
|
|
|
struct {
|
|
|
|
ide_task_request_t req_task;
|
|
u8 outbuf[OUTPUT_SIZE];
|
|
u8 inbuf[INPUT_SIZE];
|
|
} task;
|
|
memset(&task.req_task, 0, sizeof(task.req_task));
|
|
task.req_task.out_size = sizeof(task.outbuf);
|
|
task.req_task.in_size = sizeof(task.inbuf);
|
|
...
|
|
ioctl(fd, HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE, &task);
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
inputs:
|
|
|
|
(See below for details on memory area passed to ioctl.)
|
|
|
|
============ ===================================================
|
|
io_ports[8] values to be written to taskfile registers
|
|
hob_ports[8] high-order bytes, for extended commands.

|
|
============ ===================================================
|
|
|
|
outputs:
|
|
|
|
=========== ====================================================
|
|
io_ports[] values returned in the taskfile registers
|
|
hob_ports[] high-order bytes, for extended commands.
|
|
out_flags flags indicating which registers are valid (see [2])
|
|
in_flags flags indicating which registers should be returned
|

|
|
=========== ====================================================
|
|
|
|
error returns:
|
|
- EACCES CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO privilege not set.
|
|
- ENOMSG Device is not a disk drive.
|
|
- ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory for task
|
|
- EFAULT req_cmd == TASKFILE_IN_OUT (not implemented as of 2.6.8)
|
|
- EPERM
|
|
|
|
req_cmd == TASKFILE_MULTI_OUT and drive
|
|
multi-count not yet set.
|
|
- EIO Drive failed the command.
|
|
|
|
notes:
|
|
|
|
[1] READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES *CAREFULLY*. THIS IOCTL IS
|
|
FULL OF GOTCHAS. Extreme caution should be used with using
|
|
this ioctl. A mistake can easily corrupt data or hang the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
[2] Both the input and output buffers are copied from the
|
|
user and written back to the user, even when not used.
|
|
|
|
[3] If one or more bits are set in out_flags and in_flags is
|
|
zero, the following values are used for in_flags.all and
|
|
written back into in_flags on completion.
|
|
|
|
* IDE_TASKFILE_STD_IN_FLAGS | (IDE_HOB_STD_IN_FLAGS << 8)
|
|
if LBA48 addressing is enabled for the drive
|
|
* IDE_TASKFILE_STD_IN_FLAGS
|
|
if CHS/LBA28
|
|
|
|
The association between in_flags.all and each enable
|
|
bitfield flips depending on endianness; fortunately, TASKFILE
|
|
only uses inflags.b.data bit and ignores all other bits.
|
|
The end result is that, on any endian machines, it has no
|
|
effect other than modifying in_flags on completion.
|
|
|
|
[4] The default value of SELECT is (0xa0|DEV_bit|LBA_bit)
|
|
except for four drives per port chipsets. For four drives
|
|
per port chipsets, it's (0xa0|DEV_bit|LBA_bit) for the first
|
|
pair and (0x80|DEV_bit|LBA_bit) for the second pair.
|
|
|
|
[5] The argument to the ioctl is a pointer to a region of
|
|
memory containing a ide_task_request_t structure, followed
|
|
by an optional buffer of data to be transmitted to the
|
|
drive, followed by an optional buffer to receive data from
|
|
the drive.
|
|
|
|
Command is passed to the disk drive via the ide_task_request_t
|
|
structure, which contains these fields:
|
|
|
|
============ ===============================================
|
|
io_ports[8] values for the taskfile registers
|
|
hob_ports[8] high-order bytes, for extended commands
|
|
out_flags flags indicating which entries in the
|
|
io_ports[] and hob_ports[] arrays
|
|
contain valid values. Type ide_reg_valid_t.
|
|
in_flags flags indicating which entries in the
|
|
io_ports[] and hob_ports[] arrays
|
|
are expected to contain valid values
|
|
on return.
|
|
data_phase See below
|

|
notes for the default value of SELECT.
|
|
|
|
[2] If NSECTOR value is greater than zero and the drive sets
