* libata/PATA: GPCMD_SET_STREAMING via SG_IO does nothing

Hi all,

while trying to limit the speed of DVD drives during DVD playback I've
come under the impression that GPCMD_SET_STREAMING via SG_IO doesn't yet
work with libata/PATA (AMD/NVIDIA PATA support). I tested on an NForce2
board (all IDE, no SATA) and kernel 2.6.22.12. When I use the "old" ATA
kernel driver my drive slows down, with libata it doesn't. Is this a
known issue or has this slipped by unnoticed?

I tried with mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device /dev/sr0 -dvd-speed BTW . I get
no errors in syslog/dmesg. Also mplayer doesn't report a problem (so
ioctl(fd, SG_IO, &sghdr) doesn't have a return < 0).

Regards
Sebastian

It isn't a known issue, and it suprises me as SG_IO basically passes
commands through to the drive. We don't support speed change via xfermode
setting but GPCMD_SET_STREAMING sohuld behave.

Do you have a simple code example that shows the problem ?

See dvd_set_speed(). The drive I'm using is an Optiarc DVD RW AD-7170A.
With the "old" ATA driver dvd_set_speed() works, with libata it doesn't.

Hello Alan,

in the meantime I tried the kernels 2.6.23.1 as well as 2.6.24-rc2. Both
show the same behaviour when using libata with AMD/NVIDIA PATA support:
GPCMD_SET_STREAMING via SG_IO doesn't have any effect. With these two
kernels I didn't try the "old" ATA driver - but I assume it would've
worked out (changing your system from ATA to libata and vice versa
turned out to be quite time consuming ;)).

Regards
Sebastian

I think the problem here might be that libata doesn't actually support SG_IO
for ATAPI drives prior to 2.6.24 (ugh).

Try it with a 2.6.24-rc* kernel from kernel.org, or back-patch the ATA_16
SG_IO support into your older kernel.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

I already tried 2.6.24-rc2 and it didn't work, see my last reply:

Yeah, I'm a bit drowsy this morning -- the set speed command
doesn't use ATA_16, so it should work with any kernel.

I'll try it here soon-ish, since I need to update "hdparm -E" for libata anyway.

Cheers

..

That code is riddled with bugs, by the way.
It fails to close/clean-up on just about every exit path.
But apart from that, it does appear to issue the command.

Another way to the same thing is with "hdparm -E",
which contrary to my earlier posting actually does
seem to work already with libata.

..

Can you define "doesn't work" for me?
How can I test this to see if it works one way or another ?

The command issue (ioctl) is not returning -1.

Ahh.. got it.  The host_status returned (not checked by that code) was 7,
which means "host error".

In this case, that's because the cmd_len is (16), which is too large for ATAPI.
It needs to be changed to (12) instead.

So this line:  sghdr.cmd_len = 12;
The code (apart from totally mishandling any kinds of errors) works after that.

I don't understand. You seem to use a cmd_len of 16 in hdparm yourself.
And why does it work with the "old" ATA driver and not with libata if
16 is too large for ATAPI in general?

Hi!

There are DVD-ROM drives that don't react to hdparm -E but do react to
SET_STREAMING, for instance some NEC drives.

Really?  Where?

Now that *is* the question.
And the answer appears to be that ide-cd.c ignores the passed-in cmd_len,
and replaces it with:

   cmd_len = COMMAND_SIZE(rq->cmd[0]);

That's a SCSI macro to calculate the correct cmd_len based on the SCSI opcode,
which is very appropriate here.   We should do that too (we don't) in libata.

But not exactly as IDE does it -- that's actually a bug:  the code needs to also
check that the new cmd_len is no larger than the original, or we'll get an Oops.

I'll cook up a patch for that shortly and try it before posting it here.

* [PATCH] libata-scsi:  be tolerant of 12-byte ATAPI commands in 16-byte CDBs

Sebastian Kemper reported that issuing CD/DVD commands under libata
is not fully compatible with ide-scsi.  In particular, the GPCMD_SET_STREAMING
was being rejected at the host level in some instances.

The reason is that libata-scsi insists upon the cmd_len field exactly matching
the SCSI opcode being issued, whereas ide-scsi tolerates 12-byte commands
contained within a 16-byte (cmd_len) CDB.

There doesn't seem to be a good reason for us to not be compatible there,
so here is a patch to fix libata-scsi to permit SCSI opcodes so long as
they fit within whatever size CDB is provided.

Patch is against 2.6.24-rc2-git4.
Sebastian, could you please re-test with this patch
and let us know that it works for you (or not).

..

Mmm.. that's possible.  The NEC drive I have here works with either.

I wonder if an update to sr_select_speed() (inside the SCSI code) is needed?
It currently uses GPCMD_SET_SPEED, with no fallback to GPCMD_SET_STREAMING.

Or I suppose this is best left to userspace.
I may change hdparm to try both opcodes.

Could you please also fix ide-cd while at it?

..

ide-cd already does the COMMAND_SIZE() thingie, so that fix is not needed.

The only bug there is that it doesn't check for the possibility
of a 16-byte opcode being issued with only a 12-byte CDB underneath.
In practice, this doesn't seem to hurt anything.

I'm no longer familiar enough with the code there to reliably fix it.

Cheers
