[PATCH] Actually honor drive's minimum PIO/DMA cycle times

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

 



Hello.

   The function ide_timing_compute() fails to *actually* take drive's
specified minimum PIO/DMA cycle times into account -- when doing this, it
calls ide_timing_merge() on the 'struct ide_timing' argument which contains
garbage at the moment, and then ultimately destroys the read cycle time by
quantizing the ide_timing[] entry, instead of copying from that entry to the
argument structure, and only then doing a merge/quantize.

MBR, Sergei
