For pata_platform, the callback is libata-sff.c::ata_sff_freeze() which does all that's necessary. Can you please play with ata_sff_freeze() and find out why it's not working? Thanks.

I've moved the functions around and nothing changed. After removing the ATA_NIEN bit it started working. So it looks like ->sff_check_status() & ->sff_irq_clear() are not clearing the interrupt for what reason ever. Right now I belive that the firmware is doing something with the chip. Is it possible to reset the chip to its power-on state? ata_bus_softreset() did not help. Maybe I find something when I dig through the firmware code.... >Thanks.

Thanks.

Arghh.... that stinks. Maybe we should port the list over? What is the ATA device in question here?

I'm not really convinced that this the fault of the device. I just booted the kernel that worked yesterday and I ended up in "no body carred" irq storm. Hard reset, the same kernel and it worked. Two reboots later and I had the "nobody cared" again. So I guess that the irq line is active in every case but if the device (or the CPU) is fast enough then I don't notice it. Later (after the first command or so) it seems to get normal and issue the interrupt only if required.

This is odd: - a different HD & CD-ROM => seems to work - just this CD-ROM => IRQ storm - just the HD => [ 6.109000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 11.113000] ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset [ 16.319000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 21.170000] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 26.374000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 31.174000] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 36.378000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) - this HD nad other CD-ROM => seems to work The "odd" HD seems to work on X86 however the boot process gets delayed by like 30 seconds. The CD-ROM seems not show any side effects. So I fixed this problem by replacing the HD.

I just migrated from ide_platform to pata_platform on my Swarm/Mips board. This resulted in "nobody cared" during request_irq(). The only difference I noticed between ATA and IDE before registering the interrupt handler is that IDE does not enable the interrupt. After removing the flag it looks like the controller is working with the ATA layer. If I flip the polarity of the interrupt, I see the "nobody cared" message shortly after seeing ata_sff_softreset() during boot. So I tried to perform the software reset with ATA_SRST before requesting the interrupt hoping that it makes interrupt go away. It did not so. Does anyone have an idea what might go wrong here?
