Tracking ATA/ATAPI ioctl() calls....

["Bryce Simonds" <bryce.simonds%charteramg.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I've been attempting to send some raw commands to the ATA/ATAPI controller
in hopes to get the drive to initialize its secure erase protocol; however,
I'm not certain if the command data that I'm sending it is getting
reformatted by the kernel or not, and was hoping I could find out by tracing
through the ioctl() call.

I've gotten as far as were the ATA driver calls
d->atabus->ata_exec_command(), but I cannot figure out where this function
pointer is getting initialized and what it's being initialized to.

Any assistance would be greately appreaciated,

Thank you,
Bryce Simonds
