Hi,
Someone reported a bug about not being able to use his box with ICH6
chipset unless booting with PnP disabled on the kernel command-line.
When failing, he had in the logs :
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2: MAP [ P0 P2 IDE IDE ]
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.2[C] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
ata: 0x1f0 IDE port busy
After some debugging, it turns out that with PnP activated the resources
are looking like this :
0100-01fe : pnp 00:09
0170-0177 : libata
01f0-01f7 : libata
Thus, with the check done in libata, it finds "pnp 00:09" instead of
"libata" and fails.
The quick fix I made for this is to check wether the resource has a
child or not and then check which child is conflicting.
This patch was tested on 2.6.17 but I rediffed it for 2.6.18-git as the
same bug will likely occur. Of course, if preferred, I can rediff it for
libata#upstream.
Also, I added some printks to print the name of the conflicting resource
but this can also be removed if preferred.
Regards,
Arnaud
When the libata is trying to handle legacy ide ports (0x1f0 for instance), it
doesn't take care if the resource has childs or not.
The result is that this situation :
0100-01fe : pnp 00:09
0170-0177 : libata
01f0-01f7 : libata
is seen as conflict, which is wrong. The 'pnp 00:09' part is there due to the
PnP support. If PnP support is off, this doesn't appear.
The proposed fix is to detect childs and in this case, look at which child is
conflicting.
