>From 2.6.26, libata is defaulting to hardreset for various reasons one of them being unifying probing, hotplug and EH reset paths uniform. Previously, broken hardreset could go unnoticed as it wasn't used during probing but when something goes wrong or after hotplug the problem will surface and bite hard. OSDL bug 11195 reports that sata_nv generic flavor falls into this category. Hardreset itself succeeds but PHY stays offline after hardreset. I tried longer debounce timing but the result was the same. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11195 So, it seems we'll have to drop hardreset from the generic flavor. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peer Chen <pchen@xxxxxxxxxx> --- There have been more than three reports of this problem and there just isn't good reason to defer this workaround anymore. Once this gets into #upstream-fixes, I think this should go to -stable too.
