From 72ec24bd7725545bc149d80cbd21a7578d9aa206 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 20:09:32 +0200 Subject: SCSI: implement sd_unlock_native_capacity() Implement sd_unlock_native_capacity() method which calls into hostt->unlock_native_capacity() if implemented. This will be invoked by block layer if partitions extend beyond the end of the device and can be used to implement, for example, on-demand ATA host protected area unlocking.

It requests EH to unlock HPA, waits for completion and returns the current device capacity. This allows libata to unlock HPA on demand instead of having to decide whether to unlock upfront. Unlocking on demand is safer than unlocking by upfront because some BIOSes write private data to the area beyond HPA limit. This was suggested by Ben Hutchings.
