[patch] libata: return sense data in HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl

From: Eran Tromer
Date: Wed Sep 27 2006 - 12:17:36 EST


Make the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl in libata (ATA command pass through)
return a few ATA registers to userspace, following the same convention
as the drivers/ide implementation of the same ioctl. This is needed to
support ATA commands like CHECK POWER MODE, which return information
in nsectors.

This fixes "hdparm -C" on SATA drives.

Forcing the sense data read via the cc flag causes spurious check
conditions, so we filter these out (following the
ATA command pass-through specification T10/04-262r7).

Applies to git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git master and git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
master. To apply to 2.6.18, change drivers/ata/ to drivers/scsi/.

Yes, and fixed by this patch.
