7  History:
8  Started: Aug 9 by Lawrence Foard ([email protected]), to allow user
9  process control of SCSI devices.
10  Development Sponsored by Killy Corp. NY NY
11 Original driver (sg.h):
12 * Copyright (C) 1992 Lawrence Foard
13 Version 2 and 3 extensions to driver:
14 * Copyright (C) 1998 - 2006 Douglas Gilbert
15 
16  Version: 3.5.34 (20060920)
17  This version is for 2.6 series kernels.

21 Map of SG verions to the Linux kernels in which they appear:
22  ---------- ----------------------------------
23  original all kernels < 2.2.6
24  2.1.40 2.2.20
25  3.0.x optional version 3 sg driver for 2.2 series
26  3.1.17++ 2.4.0++
27  3.5.30++ 2.6.0++
28 
29 Major new features in SG 3.x driver (cf SG 2.x drivers)
30  - SG_IO ioctl() combines function if write() and read()
31  - new interface (sg_io_hdr_t) but still supports old interface
32  - scatter/gather in user space, direct IO, and mmap supported
33 
34  The normal action of this driver is to use the adapter (HBA) driver to DMA
35  data into kernel buffers and then use the CPU to copy the data into the
36  user space (vice versa for writes). That is called "indirect" IO due to
37  the double handling of data. There are two methods offered to remove the
38  redundant copy: 1) direct IO and 2) using the mmap() system call to map
39  the reserve buffer (this driver has one reserve buffer per fd) into the
40  user space. Both have their advantages.
41  In terms of absolute speed mmap() is faster. If speed is not a concern,
42  indirect IO should be fine. Read the documentation for more information.
43 
44  ** N.B. To use direct IO 'echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio' or
45  'echo 1 > /sys/module/sg/parameters/allow_dio' is needed.
46  That attribute is 0 by default. **
47 
48  Historical note: this SCSI pass-through driver has been known as "sg" for
49  a decade. In broader kernel discussions "sg" is used to refer to scatter
50  gather techniques. The context should clarify which "sg" is referred to.

52  Documentation
53  =============
54  A web site for the SG device driver can be found at:
55  http://www.torque.net/sg [alternatively check the MAINTAINERS file]
56  The documentation for the sg version 3 driver can be found at:
57  http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html
58  This is a rendering from DocBook source [change the extension to "sgml"
59  or "xml"]. There are renderings in "ps", "pdf", "rtf" and "txt" (soon).
60  The SG_IO ioctl is now found in other parts kernel (e.g. the block layer).
61  For more information see http://www.torque.net/sg/sg_io.html
62 
63  The older, version 2 documents discuss the original sg interface in detail:
64  http://www.torque.net/sg/p/scsi-generic.txt
65  http://www.torque.net/sg/p/scsi-generic_long.txt
66  Also available: <kernel_source>/Documentation/scsi/scsi-generic.txt
67 
68  Utility and test programs are available at the sg web site. They are
69  packaged as sg3_utils (for the lk 2.4 and 2.6 series) and sg_utils
70  (for the lk 2.2 series).
