What its different values > mean? I'm seeing either 1 or 2 is used to decide whether to set nIEN or not... I did some research on ->quirk_list in the past but I couldn't exactly figure it out. I also wasn't able to trace this code to its author (not that I tried very hard)... Anyway my current findings/theories are the following: - the diff between hpt366 and pdc202xx_{new,old} quirky devices: --- hpt366.c 2008-04-12 22:03:54.000000000 +0200 +++ pdc202xx_new.c 2008-04-12 22:04:03.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,7 +1,11 @@ -static const char *quirk_drives[] = { +static const char *pdc_quirk_drives[] = { "QUANTUM FIREBALLlct08 08", "QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA6.4", + "QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA9.1", "QUANTUM FIREBALLP LM20.4", + "QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX13.6", + "QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX20.5", + "QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX27.3", "QUANTUM FIREBALLP LM20.5", NULL }; indicates that pdc202xx_{new,old} lists lack few devices that were added only to hpt366 and need fixing - different values 1 (used by hpt366) or 2 (used by pdc202xx_new) are used stricly for historical reasons (IOW they are the result of people hitting problems with nIEN in different places and lack of generic solution) so we should make ->quirk_list a single bit flag and enable all quirks for both host drivers - the problem most likely is not limited to hpt366/pdc202xx_{new,old} so we should move its handling to core IDE code - we should make sure that all SELECT_MASK() users also call ide_set_irq() (then sgiioc4's ->maskproc can be removed since it is a copy of ->set_irq) - we may want to make SELECT_MASK() call enable/disable_irq() for ->quirk_list device if there is no >maskproc method - we need to be a bit careful with hpt366's ->maskproc because it checks for ->quirk_list internally (so either we need to mask/unmask for all devices on hpt366 or limit masking/unmasking to ->quirk_list on icside) - we should merge SELECT_MASK() with ide_set_irq() and consider skipping ide_set_irq() for ->quirk_list devices There is an added bonus in fixing the above issues as it would result in (finally) having sane API for IRQ (un)masking, namely: * ->set_irq in struct ide_tp_ops for device's side * ->maskproc in struct ide_port_ops for controller's side As usual, I'll be glad to help with any patches.
