Hello, all. This is the fourth take of implement ata_link patchset. This patchset contains 16 patches which can be categorized as follows. #01-02: prep #03-04: implement ata_link #05-08: make libata deal with link instead of port #09-11: misc link stuff (link init, reset_tries, ata_link_abort()) #12-16: add ap->pmp_link[] and update libata to deal with multiple links ata_link abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and ata_device. The following attributes are moved to ata_link from ata_port. - active command state (active_tag, sactive) - [hw_]sata_spd_limit - eh_info and eh_context - device array With above and a few extra fields, a link can handle attached devices including qc management and EH/hotplug. This patchset makes libata ready to handle PMP links. Changes from the last take[L] are. * updated to fit new #upstream * SError failure handling updated and moved to misc-updates patchset * ata_dev_configure() update is unnecessary now and dropped This patchset is against libata-dev#upstream (4e1ae96828f6cee7b89ab8ca474c150fe211afd8) + [1] misc-updates patchset Thanks. -- tejun [L] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13478 [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/20081 - 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
