[PATCH #upstream-fixes] sata_mv: don't issue two DMA commands concurrently

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



sata_mv allowed issuing two DMA commands concurrently which the
hardware allows.  Unfortunately, libata core layer isn't ready for
this yet and spews ugly warning message and malfunctions on this.
Don't allow concurrent DMA commands for now.

No problem, Artem.

Mark, does this look good to you?
