35 Map of SG verions to the Linux kernels in which they appear:
36 ---------- ----------------------------------
37 original all kernels < 2.2.6
39 3.0.x optional version 3 sg driver for 2.2 series
43 Major new features in SG 3.x driver (cf SG 2.x drivers)
44 - SG_IO ioctl() combines function if write() and read()
45 - new interface (sg_io_hdr_t) but still supports old interface
46 - scatter/gather in user space, direct IO, and mmap supported
48 The normal action of this driver is to use the adapter (HBA) driver to DMA
49 data into kernel buffers and then use the CPU to copy the data into the
50 user space (vice versa for writes). That is called "indirect" IO due to
51 the double handling of data. There are two methods offered to remove the
52 redundant copy: 1) direct IO which uses the kernel kiobuf mechanism and
53 2) using the mmap() system call to map the reserve buffer (this driver has
54 one reserve buffer per fd) into the user space. Both have their advantages.
55 In terms of absolute speed mmap() is faster. If speed is not a concern,
56 indirect IO should be fine. Read the documentation for more information.
58 ** N.B. To use direct IO 'echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio' may be
59 needed. That pseudo file's content is defaulted to 0. **
61 Historical note: this SCSI pass-through driver has been known as "sg" for
62 a decade. In broader kernel discussions "sg" is used to refer to scatter
63 gather techniques. The context should clarify which "sg" is referred to.
67 A web site for the SG device driver can be found at:
68 http://www.torque.net/sg [alternatively check the MAINTAINERS file]
69 The documentation for the sg version 3 driver can be found at:
70 http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html
71 This is a rendering from DocBook source [change the extension to "sgml"
72 or "xml"]. There are renderings in "ps", "pdf", "rtf" and "txt" (soon).
74 The older, version 2 documents discuss the original sg interface in detail:

78 the kernel source tree, probably at:
