[PATCH 4/7] libata: use freeze/thaw for polling PIO

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch let polling pio codes to use freeze()/thaw() for irq off/on.
The reason is: some ATAPI devices raises INTRQ even of nIEN = 1.
Using the host adapter irq mask mechanism, if available, is more reliable than the device nIEN bit.

ata_qc_set_polling() is also removed since now unused.

Considerations:
Polling PIO, the new user of freeze()/thaw(), might have higher calling frequency to freeze()/thaw() than EH.
Can current implemention of freeze()/thaw() handle that?
We might need more testing on sata_nv, sata_promise, sata_sil, sata_sil24, sata_via and sata_vsc.
