SVWSATA(4)

hey bestie, welcome to SVWSATA(4) from the Kernel Interfaces Manual — this is the whole page for the svwsata driver, and we’re gonna make it make sense 💖✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

svwsata — Serverworks Serial ATA disk controller driver

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

svwsata* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so the svwsata driver supports the Serverworks K2, Frodo4, Frodo8 and HT-1000 Serial ATA controllers, and it provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver. It’s literally the hardware-interface bestie for ata(4) — no cap 🫶

The 0x0002 flag forces the svwsata driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around problems where the SATA controller is wired up to the system incorrectly. Lowkey a lifesaver when the wiring is giving chaos 😭🔥
