Interestingly, sata_sil raises spurious interrupts if it's coupled with Sil SATA_PATA bridge. Currently, sata_sil interrupt handler is strict about spurious interrupts and freezes the port when it occurs. This patch makes it more forgiving. * On SATA PHY event interrupt, serror value is checked to see whether it really is PHYRDY CHG event. If not, SATA PHY event interrupt is ignored. * If ATA interrupt occurs while no command is in progress, it's cleared and ignored. This fixes bugzilla bug 9505. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9505 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ata/sata_sil.c | 29 +++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) Index: work/drivers/ata/sata_sil.c =================================================================== --- work.orig/drivers/ata/sata_sil.c +++ work/drivers/ata/sata_sil.c @@ -390,23 +390,28 @@ static void sil_host_intr(struct ata_por sil_scr_read(ap, SCR_ERROR, &serror); sil_scr_write(ap, SCR_ERROR, serror); - /* Trigger hotplug and accumulate SError only if the - * port isn't already frozen.
