This document attempts to describe the ioctl(2) calls supported by
|
|
|
|
the HD/IDE layer. These are by-and-large implemented (as of Linux 2.6)
|
|
|
|
in drivers/ide/ide.c and drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.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:
|
|
|

The information that follows was determined from reading kernel source

|
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.

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 endianess; 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.

Taskfile registers are read back from the drive into

{io|hob}_ports[] after the command completes iff one of the

following conditions is met; otherwise, the original values
