Hi Phillip, It turns out that this patch was based on an old
github repository that doesn't appear to be updated. Doug
Gilbert reached out after the initial RFC and directed us to his
page (http://sg.danny.cz/sg/) where he has updated sg3_utils
code.

As we continue to work through the feedback from our SSHD kernel
patches, I'm going to follow up with Doug again on sg3_utils.

So is there a set of patches that applies to a release from that
web site? Also is the source only released as tarballs? There is
no source repo?

Hello. I am still beta testing an SSHD drive and would very much like
to get some more information out of its logs and/or manipulate the
cache pinned working set. Is there somewhere I can get these patched
utilities yet?

As discussed in another thread on the subject, the
sg_sat_read_gplog utility was added in the most recent
release of the package:
http://sg.danny.cz/sg/p/sg3_utils-1.40.tar.xz

as a framework for adding ATA and SATA general purpose log
pages. This approach is consistent with the way the package
has one utility for all SCSI logs pages: sg_logs.

So if you or anyone else wants support for ATA log pages
in sg3_utils, could you please send me patches against the
sg_sat_read_gplog utility.

Doug Gilbert
