The author of this driver clearly wasn't familiar with the BMIDE specification (also known as SFF-8038i) when he implemented the bmdma_status() method: first, the interrupt bit of the BMIDE status register corresponds to nothing else but INTRQ signal (ATAPI_DEV_INT here); second, the error bit is only set if the controller encounters issue doing the bus master transfers, not on the DMA burst termination interrupts like here (moreover, setting the error bit doesn't cause an interrupt). (The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to flush the FIFO to memory once the interrupt happens as required by the mentioned spec.) Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> --- The patch is against the current Linus' tree. Sonic, if you still work in Analog Devices, please give this a try. I looked over the driver, and it left pretty bad impression. In particular, I highly doubt that the transfers with more than one S/G item can work. And this is after the driver has been in the kernel for 4 years already... Unfortunately, I have neither hardware nor much time to work on improving it... drivers/ata/pata_bf54x.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) -- 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
