Assuming it works, this should be more efficient: static const unsigned long timing[] = {5, 100, 500}; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The Calxeda SATA phy intermittently fails to bring up a link with Gen3 Retrying the phy hard reset can work around the issue, but the drive may fail again. In less than 150 out of 15000 test runs, it took more than 10 tries for the link to be established (but never more than 35). Increase the retry count to guarantee the link is established. Also, the default 2 second time-out on a failed drive is too long in this situation. Shorten it to 500 ms. This was also tested 15000 times on 24 drives and none of them experienced a time out.
