-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mark Lord <lkml@xxxxxx> 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.
