 struct scsi_cmnd * cmd);
 

Arguments

struct Scsi_Host * shost

SCSI host of command to be sent

Description

In some cases, this function translates SCSI commands into ATA taskfiles, and queues the taskfiles to be sent to hardware. In other cases, this function simulates a SCSI device by evaluating and responding to certain SCSI commands. This creates the overall effect of ATA and ATAPI devices appearing as SCSI devices.

LOCKING: ATA host lock
