[PATCH 1/8] libata: fix EH device failure handling

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

 



The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary
speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd
down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always
zero.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs.
This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection
is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA
devices.
