HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE is not supported in libata ? and if not then which was the last version of
libata that supported the HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE command in which kernel ?

Thanks
  Kantor

libata has never supported HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE.

You want to use SG_IO.

&& it won't.  The TASKFILE interface is pretty broken and had several
behavior idiosynchronicities (Documentataion/ioctl/hdio.txt).  IDE ->
libata transition is pretty good chance to kill it.
