Hi Alan & Jeff,
I have being struggled for this issue for long time, but have no ideas
finally. So
I have to write mail to you for suggestions again. Thanks in advance for
your
reply since you're busy.
I'm using IDE driver instead of ATA driver for my PIIX4 IDE controller.
The experiment
is: 1)mount local directory (/aaa on ramdisk) to remote server via NFS;
2)copy a big
file (about 600MB) from remote server to local disk, finally DMA timeout
happened.
When DMA timeout happened, I have dumped out PRD table as follows, it seems
the PRD table doesn't have any problem. Note that pls swap bytes for PRD
entries
(from big endian to little endian).
SP(27-A) $ mount /dev/hda1 /disk_root/
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
SP(27-A) $ cd /disk_root/
SP(27-A) $ cp /aaa/Gavin/sp3m/target_7xx_cge5.2008-07-10.tgz ./
hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21

If possible, could you tell me how IDE complete DMA transfer on PCI bus?
Thanks,
Gavin
