[PATCH] 2.6.xx: sata_mv: another critical fix

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

 



This patch addresses a number of weird behaviours observed
for the sata_mv driver, by fixing an "off by one" bug in processing
of the EDMA response queue.

Basically, sata_mv was looking in the wrong place for
command results, and this produced a lot of unpredictable behaviour.
