Major new features in SG 3.x driver (cf SG 2.x drivers)
- SG_IO ioctl() combines function if write() and read()
data into kernel buffers and then use the CPU to copy the data into the
user space (vice versa for writes). That is called "indirect" IO due to
the double handling of data. There are two methods offered to remove the
- redundant copy: 1) direct IO which uses the kernel kiobuf mechanism and
- 2) using the mmap() system call to map the reserve buffer (this driver has
- one reserve buffer per fd) into the user space. Both have their advantages.
+ redundant copy: 1) direct IO and 2) using the mmap() system call to map
+ the reserve buffer (this driver has one reserve buffer per fd) into the
+ user space. Both have their advantages.
In terms of absolute speed mmap() is faster. If speed is not a concern,
indirect IO should be fine. Read the documentation for more information.
- ** N.B. To use direct IO 'echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio' may be
- needed. That pseudo file's content is defaulted to 0. **
+ ** N.B. To use direct IO 'echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio' or
+ 'echo 1 > /sys/module/sg/parameters/allow_dio' is needed.
+ That attribute is 0 by default. **
Historical note: this SCSI pass-through driver has been known as "sg" for
a decade. In broader kernel discussions "sg" is used to refer to scatter
http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html
This is a rendering from DocBook source [change the extension to "sgml"
or "xml"]. There are renderings in "ps", "pdf", "rtf" and "txt" (soon).
+ The SG_IO ioctl is now found in other parts kernel (e.g. the block layer).
+ For more information see http://www.torque.net/sg/sg_io.html
The older, version 2 documents discuss the original sg interface in detail:
http://www.torque.net/sg/p/scsi-generic.txt
http://www.torque.net/sg/p/scsi-generic_long.txt
- A version of this document (potentially out of date) may also be found in
- the kernel source tree, probably at:
- Documentation/scsi/scsi-generic.txt .
+ Also available: <kernel_source>/Documentation/scsi/scsi-generic.txt
Utility and test programs are available at the sg web site. They are
- bundled as sg_utils (for the lk 2.2 series) and sg3_utils (for the
- lk 2.4 series).
-
- There is a HOWTO on the Linux SCSI subsystem in the lk 2.4 series at:
- http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO
+ packaged as sg3_utils (for the lk 2.4 and 2.6 series) and sg_utils
+ (for the lk 2.2 series).
