That > would tell us if it's even reaching the interrupt handler.. If you give me a patch, I'll apply it and cause lock up and report the result. Just shoot the patches my way.

It will lock up pretty soon. -- tejun - 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
