I'm reluctant to add another parameter to the request, but this one you
can calculate:  you just do it wherever you work out the size of the
request.  If data_len is the true data length and total_data_len is the
data length plus the drain length, the calculation fragment is

if (blk_pc_request(req))
	data_len = req->data_len;
else
	data_len = req->nr_sectors << 9;
total_data_len = data_len + req->q->dma_drain_size;

If the request has already been mapped by scsi, then data_len is
actually scsi_cmnd->sdb.length

Actually, I sent the patch to do this a few days ago:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=120189565418258

But I've attached it again.

Great, will look forward to the results.  Like I said, I think the turn
on draining in slave configure should be narrowed from all ATAPI devices
to all AHCI ATAPI devices if there's no evidence that any other
implementation that uses DMA to transfer PIO isn't similarly broken (I
know the aic94xx works fine, for instance ...

Subject: libata: implement drain buffers

This just updates the libata slave configure routine to take advantage
of the block layer drain buffers.

I suspect I should also be checking for AHCI as well as ATA_DEV_ATAPI,
but I couldn't see how to do that easily.
