Doh, I forgot that the patch to change "ALL" to NULL was merged after 2.6.22.
I should have asked you from the beginning to test against 2.6.23-rc1 but it
is not that bad since now you have also working patches for 2.6.18 / 2.6.22.

;-)

Thanks, added this to the patch.

Final version (for completness) below.

[PATCH] ide-disk: workaround for buggy HPA support on ST340823A (take 3)

This disk reports total number of sectors instead of maximum sector address
in response to READ_NATIVE_MAX_ADDRESS command and also happily accepts
SET_MAX_ADDRESS command with the bogus value.  This results in +1 sector
capacity being used and errors on attempts to use the last sector.

...
hdd: Host Protected Area detected.
        current capacity is 78165360 sectors (40020 MB)
        native  capacity is 78165361 sectors (40020 MB)
hdd: Host Protected Area disabled.
...
hdd: reading: block=78165360, sectors=1, buffer=0xc1e63000
hdd: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=78165360, sector=78165360
...

Add hpa_list[] table and workaround the issue in idedisk_check_hpa().

v2:
* Add missing export and improve patch description a bit.

v3:
* Add list termination.  (From Mikko)

Fixes kernel bugzilla bug #8816.

Thanks to Mikko for investigating the issue and helping with this patch.

This patch depends on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y but for testing purposes
it is OK.  Final version wouldn't depend on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA,
"[PATCH] ide: add cable detection for early UDMA66 devices (take 3)"
which is in IDE quilt tree moves ide_in_drive_list() out of ide-dma.c.
