Mark,

How PMP support with sata_mv broken for you? I am using marvell 7042
and sil3726 and it works fine, but I am still using 2.6.36.

Tejun, Marc,

I think what happen is if a command is canceled while waiting for
sff_pio_task to fire up, the warning may happen. The following patch
should fix it. Marc, can you reproduce the problem easily?

Thanks,
Gwendal.

It's broken when used with a Marvell PMP.
Still works with other brands.

Strange, that.

I can confirm this makes the warnings go away, thanks Gwendal.
