AFAICS ide-cd has been always failing !uptodate requests so the latter issue is nothing new. Which means that it is really not the right time to be scratching our heads about it while the former problem has been seriously affecting people for weeks now and also managed to slip into the final 2.6.30 release.. > > * handling of non-fully completed requests with "good" status (cause: > > stupid hardware) > > The non-intrusive solution, IMHO, would be to add another quirk flag for > such a device (SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615) and do not complete the rq in that > case, aka no partial completion for packet commands to that device.

I can't tell much without seeing the concept with more details. IOW please send patches, that is the best way to discuss things. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.-- 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
