Linux kernel development is supposed to happen incrementally nowadays.
Get a nice working solution in place, and then enhance/tune it.
It's not about enhancing and tuning.
It's about me (and/or James B) having to __undo__ the current code,
just
to get things working on an entire class of SATA-capable controllers
out
in the field.
Hmmm... Simpy not setting ATA_FLAG_PMP isn't enough?
The point was that I was going to turn on PMP support for SAS
controllers in 2.6.24 to coincide with the merge, but now cannot
without fixing things.
So, don't.
Just a few days ago PMP was slated to not be enabled for *any* controllers
until 2.6.25 or so. Now we have it a release early, for all but SAS.
A few days before that, both PMP and SAS /were/ slated for 2.6.24, and
after I fix the design problems, they will be again.
One way or another, upstream will /not/ be doing polling PMP in 2.6.24.
