SCSI Read (10) and Write (10) with the SCSI Generic Interface

Viewed 15735

I try to issue a scsi read(10) and write(10) to a SSD. I use this example code as a reference/basic code.

This is my scsi read:

#define READ_REPLY_LEN 32
#define READ_CMDLEN 10
void scsi_read()
{
  unsigned char Readbuffer[ SCSI_OFF + READ_REPLY_LEN ];
  unsigned char cmdblk [ READ_CMDLEN ] =
      {        0x28,  /* command */
                  0,  /* lun/reserved */
                  0,  /* lba */
                  0,  /* lba */
                  0,  /* lba */
                  0,  /* lba */
                  0,  /* reserved */
                  0,  /* transfer length */
     READ_REPLY_LEN,  /* transfer length */
                  0 };/* reserved/flag/link */
  memset(Readbuffer,0,sizeof(Readbuffer));
  memcpy( cmd + SCSI_OFF, cmdblk, sizeof(cmdblk) );

  /*
   * +------------------+
   * | struct sg_header | <- cmd
   * +------------------+
   * | copy of cmdblk   | <- cmd + SCSI_OFF
   * +------------------+
   */

  if (handle_scsi_cmd(sizeof(cmdblk), 0, cmd,
                      sizeof(Readbuffer) - SCSI_OFF, Readbuffer )) {
      fprintf( stderr, "read failed\n" );
      exit(2);
  }
  hex_dump(Readbuffer,sizeof(Readbuffer));
}

And this is my scsi write:

void scsi_write ( void )
{
  unsigned char Writebuffer[SCSI_OFF];
  unsigned char cmdblk [] =
      {        0x2A,  /* 0: command */
                  0,  /* 1: lun/reserved */
                  0,  /* 2: LBA */
                  0,  /* 3: LBA */
                  0,  /* 4: LBA */
                  0,  /* 5: LBA */
                  0,  /* 6: reserved */
                  0,  /* 7: transfer length */
                  0,  /* 8: transfer length */
                  0 };/* 9: control */

  memset(Writebuffer,0,sizeof(Writebuffer));
  memcpy( cmd + SCSI_OFF, cmdblk, sizeof(cmdblk) );
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+0] = 'A';
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+1] = 'b';
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+2] = 'c';
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+3] = 'd';
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+4] = 'e';
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+5] = 'f';
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+6] = 'g';
  cmd[SCSI_OFF+sizeof(cmdblk)+7] = 0;
  /*
   * +------------------+
   * | struct sg_header | <- cmd
   * +------------------+
   * | copy of cmdblk   | <- cmd + SCSI_OFF
   * +------------------+
   * | data to write    | 
   * +------------------+
   */

  if (handle_scsi_cmd(sizeof(cmdblk), 8, cmd, 
                      sizeof(Writebuffer) - SCSI_OFF, Writebuffer )) {
      fprintf( stderr, "write failed\n" );
      exit(2);
  }
}

In the following example I do

  1. scsi read
  2. scsi write
  3. scsi read

And I print the hexdumps of the data which is written (scsi write) and what is read (scsi read)

Read(10)
[0000]   00 00 00 44 00 00 00 44   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ...D...D ........

Write(10):

[0030]   63 64 65 66 67 00                                   cdefg.

Read(10):
[0000]   00 00 00 44 00 00 00 44   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ...D...D ........

[0040]   00 00 00 00                                         ....

fter running the three commands again, I should read Abcdefg with the first read. Right? But running them again changes nothing. You could now assume, that the memory I use has still the data from previous funcions, but I get the same result even though I run memset(Readbuff,0,sizeof(Readbuff)) before the sys_read() happens.

I assumed, that the LBA I try to write is maybe forbidden to write, and I read the cache. But interating over LBA Adresses from 0x00-0xFF changes nothing - That means, I read the same data (Abcdefg).

Do you know an example implementation of scsi read or writes with the scsi generic interface?
