IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_HYBRID IOCTL (ntddscsi.h)

Artikel
05/18/2021

The IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_HYBRID control code sends a hybrid disk control request to an HBA-specific miniport driver. The IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_HYBRID request is a sub-IOCTL of IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT. This IOCTL is received and reformatted by StorPort, then sent to the miniport as a STORAGE_REQUEST_BLOCK (SRB) with a function type of SRB_FUNCTION_IO_CONTROL. The input and output data is contained in the SRB data block.

IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_HYBRID is intended for use by third-party applications or filter drives which manage security features such as encryption or write-through behavior.

Warning Use of IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_HYBRID to modify hybrid cache behavior will conflict with the operation of Windows system components and is not supported.

Note The SCSI port driver and SCSI miniport driver models may be altered or unavailable in the future. Instead, we recommend using the Storport driver and Storport miniport driver models.

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

The buffer specified in the DataBuffer member of the SRB must contain an SRB_IO_CONTROL structure and a HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK structure. Depending on the Function member of HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK, additional data can be supplied.

Input buffer length

DataTransferLength indicates the size, in bytes, of the buffer, which must be at least sizeof (SRB_IO_CONTROL) + sizeof(HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK), with additional storage for function data if the DataBufferLength member of the HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK is nonzero.

Output buffer

An updated SRB_IO_CONTROL structure is returned to the data buffer in the SRB.

Output buffer length

The DataBufferOffset and DataBufferLength members of HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK are nonzero when data is returned for the specified Function. The DataTransferLength member of the SRB is updated when data is returned for the request function.

Status block

The resulting status of the function request is set in the ReturnCode member of SRB_IO_CONTROL. The following are the hybrid disk IOCTL status codes.

Return Code	Description
HYBRID_STATUS_SUCCESS	The function completed successfully.
HYBRID_STATUS_ILLEGAL_REQUEST	The request contains an invalid function code.
HYBRID_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER	Either the input or output parameters are formatted incorrectly.
HYBRID_STATUS_OUTPUT_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL	The data length given in DataBufferLength is too small to contain the request output.

Remarks

A HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK structure immediately follows the SRB_IO_CONTROL structure in the data buffer. HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK is defined in ntddscsi.h as the following.

typedef struct _HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK {
    ULONG   Version;
    ULONG   Size;
    ULONG   Function;
    ULONG   Flags;
    ULONG   DataBufferOffset;
    ULONG   DataBufferLength;
} HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK, *PHYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK;

The parameter requirements depend on the function code of the hybrid disk request. The following table lists the parameters required for each function.

Function	Input Parameters	Output Parameters
HYBRID_FUNCTION_GET_INFO	SRB_IO_CONTROL + HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK	SRB_IO_CONTROL + HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK + HYBRID_INFORMATION
HYBRID_FUNCTION_DISABLE_CACHING_MEDIUM	SRB_IO_CONTROL + HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK	SRB_IO_CONTROL
HYBRID_FUNCTION_ENABLE_CACHING_MEDIUM	SRB_IO_CONTROL + HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK	SRB_IO_CONTROL
HYBRID_FUNCTION_SET_DIRTY_THRESHOLD	SRB_IO_CONTROL + HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK + HYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS	SRB_IO_CONTROL
HYBRID_FUNCTION_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE	SRB_IO_CONTROL + HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK + HYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE	SRB_IO_CONTROL

The HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK structure is located after the SRB_IO_CONTROL structure in the DataBuffer of the SRB. Any function data included with the request is found at the offset in DataBufferOffset after the beginning of the SRB_IO_CONTROL structure.

The following example demonstrates retrieval of the function data for a HYBRID_FUNCTION_SET_DIRTY_THRESHOLD request.

    PSRB_IO_CONTROL srbIoCtl = (PSRB_IO_CONTROL)srb->DataBuffer;
    PHYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK hybridRequest = (PHYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK)(srbIoCtl + 1);
    PHYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS hybridDirtyThresholds = NULL;

    if (hybridRequest->DataBufferOffset >= sizeof(SRB_IO_CONTROL) + sizeof(HYBRID_REQUEST_BLOCK))
    {
        if (hybridRequest->DataBufferLength >= sizeof(HYBRID_FUNCTION_SET_DIRTY_THRESHOLD))
        {
            hybridDirtyThresholds = (PHYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS)((PUCHAR)srbIoCtl + hybridRequest->DataBufferOffset);
        }
        else
        {
            srbIoCtl->ReturnCode = HYBRID_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER;
        }
    }

HYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS

The HYBRID_FUNCTION_SET_DIRTY_THRESHOLD function uses the HYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS structure for its input parameters. HYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS is defined in ntddscsi.h as the following.

typedef struct _HYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS {
    ULONG   Version;
    ULONG   Size;
    ULONG   DirtyLowThreshold;
    ULONG   DirtyHighThreshold;
} HYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS, *PHYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS;

Version: The version of the structure. Set to HYBRID_REQUEST_INFO_STRUCTURE_VERSION.
Size: The size of the structure. Set to sizeof(HYBRID_DIRTY_THRESHOLDS).
DirtyLowThreshold: The fractional low threshold value for the hybrid disk cache to synchronize to disk.
DirtyHighThreshold: The fractional high threshold value for the hybrid disk cache to synchronize to disk.

The values of DirtyLowThreshold and DirtyHighThreshold are expressed as the smaller part of a ratio between the threshold value and a fraction base. The fraction base is determined by the FractionBase member of the HYBRID_INFORMATION structure.

HYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE

The HYBRID_FUNCTION_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE function uses the HYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE structure for its input parameters. HYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE is defined in ntddscsi.h as the following.

typedef struct _HYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE {
    ULONG       Version;
    ULONG       Size;
    UCHAR       SourcePriority;
    UCHAR       TargetPriority;
    USHORT      Reserved0;
    ULONG       Reserved1;
    ULONGLONG   LbaCount;
} HYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE, *PHYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE;

Version: The version of the structure. Set to HYBRID_REQUEST_INFO_STRUCTURE_VERSION.
Size: The size of the structure. Set to sizeof(HYBRID_DEMOTE_BY_SIZE).
SourcePriority: The original priority level of the data to demote. This value must be <= the value in the MaximumHybridPriorityLevel member of the HYBRID_INFORMATION structure returned by from a HYBRID_FUNCTION_GET_INFO function request. This value must be > 0.
TargetPriority: The target priority level of the data to demote from the SourcePriority level. This value must be < SourcePriority.
Reserved0: Reserved.
Reserved1: Reserved.
LbaCount: The number of LBAs to demote to the new priority level.

The SRB_IO_CONTROL structure for this IOCTL contains IOCTL_MINIPORT_SIGNATURE_HYBRDISK in its Signature member and IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_HYBRID in the ControlCode member.
