Subject: [PATCH] usb: uas: expose US_FL_NO_ATA_1X in sysfs as deny_ata_passthrough
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 13:40:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115124046.5286-1-mat.jonczyk@o2.pl> (raw)
The uas driver blocks access to ATA passthrough commands for some
devices it considers buggy (via the US_FL_NO_ATA_1X flag in
unusual_uas.h and uas_detect.h). However, it does not expose any
meaningful information whether the command was blocked by the driver or
is genuinly not supported by the hardware. This creates a problem for
the smartmontools program and makes it difficult for it to provide a
useful error message (with instructions to disable UAS on the drive to
get SMART readings).
So, expose the information in sysfs as deny_ata_passthrough. Other
quirks may be added in the future if there is any demand.
