It was discovered that sdparm will fail when attempting to disable write
cache on a SATA disk connected via libsas.
In the ATA command set the write cache state is controlled through the SET
FEATURES operation. This is roughly corresponds to MODE SELECT in SCSI and
the latter command is what is used in the SCSI-ATA translation layer. A
subtle difference is that a MODE SELECT carries data whereas SET FEATURES
is defined as a non-data command in ATA.
Set the DMA data direction to DMA_NONE if the requested ATA command is
identified as non-data.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
