The 2.6.18 kernel's sata_promise driver causes alignment traps in my Ultra5 sparc64 machine. dmesg shows: SCSI subsystem initialized libata version 2.00 loaded. sata_promise 0000:02:03.0: version 1.04 Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100a8cbc] pdc_ata_init_one+0x284/0x308 [sata_promise] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100a8cd0] pdc_ata_init_one+0x298/0x308 [sata_promise] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100a8cd4] pdc_ata_init_one+0x29c/0x308 [sata_promise] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1FF00008200 ctl 0x1FF00008238 bmdma 0x0 irq 18 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1FF00008280 ctl 0x1FF000082B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 18 scsi0 : sata_promise ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata1.00: ATA-6, max UDMA/133, 312581808 sectors: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 scsi1 : sata_promise ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) Vendor: ATA Model: ST3160827AS Rev: 3.42 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Using debug printk:s I've traced this to the three PDC_TBG_MODE accesses in sata_promise.c:pdc_host_init(): /* reduce TBG clock to 133 Mhz. */ tmp = readl(mmio + PDC_TBG_MODE); tmp &= ~0x30000; /* clear bit 17, 16*/ tmp |= 0x10000; /* set bit 17:16 = 0:1 */ writel(tmp, mmio + PDC_TBG_MODE); readl(mmio + PDC_TBG_MODE); /* flush */ The debugging printk:s also showed that mmio points to 0x000001ff00008000 and that PDC_TBG_MODE is 65, so mmio+PDC_TBG_MODE cannot possibly be 32-bit aligned. >From reading sata_promise.c it appears that PDC_TBG_MODE also intersects both PDC_INT_SEQMASK and PDC_FLASH_CTL, which I find weird. /Mikael - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
