After SRST, libata used to wait for nsect/lbal to be set to 1/1 for the slave device. However, some ATAPI devices don't set nsect/lbal after SRST and the wait itself isn't too useful as we're gonna wait for !BSY right after that anyway. Before reset-seq update, nsect/lbal wait failure used to be ignored and caused 30sec delay during detection. After reset-seq, all timeouts are considered error conditions making libata fail to detect such ATAPI devices. This patch limits nsect/lbal wait to around 100ms. This should give acceptable behavior to such ATAPI devices while not disturbing the heavily used code path too much. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> --- Okay, here it is. Sorry for the delay.
