Jens,
Since for 28-bit lba a 0 sector value means 256 sectors
do I need to check for the lba48 case at all? As proposed
to Jeff is this ok (for READ_6 and WRITE_6):
if (scsicmd[4] == 0) {
/*
* For READ_6 and WRITE_6 (only)
* transfer_len==0 -> 256 blocks !!
*/
qc->nsect = 256;
} else
qc->nsect = scsicmd[4];
tf->nsect = scsicmd[4];
Also I noticed while testing the original code with READ_6
(sectors=0) that the device locked up (power cycle required).
So given the point you make for 48-bit lba, 0 means 16^2
sectors, then the READ_10 (sectors=0) and READ_16 (sectors=0)
which are valid nops according to SBC-2 may also lock up
in libata.
