[PATCHSET] libata: improve transfer mode handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, Jeff, Alan and Albert.

This is the second take of improve-transfer-mode-handling patchset.
The last take[1] made low level driver API uglier and Alan rejected
the API changes.  Changes from the last take are...

* No low level driver API change.  All changes are confined tolibata
  core layer proper.

* Fewer/simpler xfer_mask helpers.

* Better splitted patches.

This patchset makes transfer mode determination done in
ata_dev_xfermask() before any of actual configuration happens.  This
should help integrating Alan's changes easier.

This patchset is against the current upstream[2] + port_task
patchset[3].  However, all the patches except the last one applies
against upstream with offsets and the reject of the last patch is
trivial.  I'll post two versions of the last patch - one against
upstream + port_task, the other against upstream.

Thanks.
