Tejun, I need a way to limit the multi_count to a specific maximum value for sata_mv. ISTR that some PATA chips may also have an upper hardware limit on multi_count. Generally, "8" is safe for all chipsets. Going above that requires knowledge of what the chipset can tolerate. How about a u8 multi_count_max field in the ata_host struct? Use 0xff for "multi_count not allowed", and anything else in there as an upper limit for the chipset.
.. Oh, and zero means "don't care". So it's really easy to add to libata without having to patch each and every driver. ?? -- 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
