Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxx> There are three flags being set by default by the PIIX driver for speeds > PIO 1, and one not being cleared properly on fallback to PIO0. The most important one is the prefetch/post write control which only works for ATA and can do bad things with ATAPI. The patch does its best to set the flags correctly for drivers/ide. Its not 100% perfect but its closer than the original. 100% perfect requires proper IORDY handling but this isn't critical (and its not right in libata either .. yet) Probably should live in -mm for a bit for testing Alan diff -u --new-file --recursive --exclude-from /usr/src/exclude linux.vanilla-2.6.17/drivers/ide/pci/piix.c linux-2.6.17/drivers/ide/pci/piix.c --- linux.vanilla-2.6.17/drivers/ide/pci/piix.c 2006-06-19 17:17:24.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.17/drivers/ide/pci/piix.c 2006-06-26 13:44:49.296262720 +0100 @@ -222,29 +222,42 @@ unsigned long flags; u16 master_data; u8 slave_data; + int control = 0; /* ISP RTC */ - u8 timings[][2] = { { 0, 0 }, - { 0, 0 }, - { 1, 0 }, - { 2, 1 }, - { 2, 3 }, }; + static const u8 timings[][2]= { + { 0, 0 }, + { 0, 0 }, + { 1, 0 }, + { 2, 1 }, + { 2, 3 }, }; pio = ide_get_best_pio_mode(drive, pio, 5, NULL); spin_lock_irqsave(&ide_lock, flags); pci_read_config_word(dev, master_port, &master_data); + + if (pio >= 2) + control |= 1; /* Programmable timing on */ + if (drive->media == ide_disk) + control |= 4; /* Prefetch, post write */ + if (pio >= 3) + control |= 2; /* IORDY */ if (is_slave) { master_data = master_data | 0x4000; - if (pio > 1) + if (pio > 1) { /* enable PPE, IE and TIME */ - master_data = master_data | 0x0070; + master_data = master_data | (control << 4); + } else { + master_data &= ~0x0070; + } pci_read_config_byte(dev, slave_port, &slave_data); slave_data = slave_data & (hwif->channel ? 0x0f : 0xf0); slave_data = slave_data | (((timings[pio][0] << 2) | timings[pio][1]) << (hwif->channel ? 4 : 0)); } else { master_data = master_data & 0xccf8; - if (pio > 1) + if (pio > 1) { /* enable PPE, IE and TIME */ - master_data = master_data | 0x0007; + master_data = master_data | control; + } master_data = master_data | (timings[pio][0] << 12) | (timings[pio][1] << 8); } pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data); - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
