I wonder if it's just a case of too short a timeout on the cache flushes?
..
However, in this case the drive is not reporting Busy status at the timeout, which suggests maybe an interrupt got lost or something. (Could be still the drive's fault.)
.. If I recall correctly, The reported shadow register contents are bogus when a timeout occurs. So we don't actually know what the drive state was. Or do we, Tejun? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
