Hello, Jeff, Sergei. This is the second take of separate-out-SFF-and-BMDMA patchset. The initial take[L] was posted back in 2008. It got mostly acked but somehow forgotten in the middle of patch logistics by Jeff and me both. Thankfully, Sergei somehow digged this up. :-) Other than refreshing on top of the current #upstream including reflecting the changes in core code and addition of new drivers, the bulk of patchset is about the same. The patchset separates out SFF and BMDMA code and categorizes low level drivers as such. This has marginal benefit of having the ability not to include unneded core code but the main point is clearing the muddy line between SFF and BMDMA so that drivers don't end up needing dummy functions or explicit boilerplate overrides not knowing what's gonna be called. It also makes verifying which driver depends on which core functions much easier during both code review (simply searching for sff in bmdma driver and dma in !bmdma driver gives pretty good picture) and compile. Please read patchset description of the initial take for more details. Build tested on x86. Tested on ahci and ata_piix. Couldn't test more as I'm away from my test equipments. :-( I think breakages from this patchset wouldn't be too hard to catch but it definitely needs some testing time in linux-next or whereever before hitting mainline. This patchset is on top of the current #upstream (3d02d7242c513f945009f74e8d59d45d861195e4) and contains the following 23 patches. 0001-pata_sch-use-ata_pci_sff_init_one.patch 0002-sata_inic162x-inic162x-is-not-dependent-on-CONFIG_AT.patch 0003-sata_mv-remove-unnecessary-initialization.patch 0004-libata-sff-update-bmdma-host-bus-error-handling.patch 0005-libata-sff-kill-unused-prototype-and-make-ata_dev_se.patch 0006-libata-kill-ATA_FLAG_DISABLED.patch 0007-sata_inic162x-kill-PORT_PRD_ADDR-initialization.patch 0008-libata-sff-reorder-SFF-BMDMA-functions.patch 0009-libata-sff-clean-up-inheritance-in-several-drivers.patch 0010-libata-sff-clean-up-BMDMA-initialization.patch 0011-libata-sff-introduce-ata_sff_init-exit-and-ata_sff_p.patch 0012-libata-sff-rename-ap-ops-drain_fifo-to-sff_drain_fif.patch 0013-libata-sff-ap-last_-ctl-are-SFF-specific.patch 0014-libata-sff-port_task-is-SFF-specific.patch 0015-libata-sff-separate-out-BMDMA-EH.patch 0016-libata-sff-ata_sff_-dumb_-qc_prep-are-BMDMA-specific.patch 0017-libata-sff-prd-is-BMDMA-specific.patch 0018-libata-sff-separate-out-BMDMA-qc_issue.patch 0019-libata-sff-ata_sff_irq_clear-is-BMDMA-specific.patch 0020-libata-sff-separate-out-BMDMA-irq-handler.patch 0021-libata-sff-separate-out-BMDMA-init.patch 0022-libata-sff-kill-dummy-BMDMA-ops-from-sata_qstor-and-.patch 0023-libata-sff-make-BMDMA-optional.patch It's also available in the following git branch. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata-dev.git modularize-SFF and contains the following changes. drivers/ata/Kconfig | 521 +++++------ drivers/ata/Makefile | 83 + drivers/ata/ata_generic.c | 2 drivers/ata/ata_piix.c | 4 drivers/ata/libata-core.c | 179 --- drivers/ata/libata-eh.c | 6 drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c | 3 drivers/ata/libata-sff.c | 1640 +++++++++++++++++++++--------------- drivers/ata/libata.h | 29 drivers/ata/pata_acpi.c | 10 drivers/ata/pata_ali.c | 7 drivers/ata/pata_amd.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_artop.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_at91.c | 1 drivers/ata/pata_atiixp.c | 6 drivers/ata/pata_atp867x.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_bf54x.c | 20 drivers/ata/pata_cmd640.c | 10 drivers/ata/pata_cmd64x.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_cs5520.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_cs5530.c | 6 drivers/ata/pata_cs5535.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_cs5536.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_cypress.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_efar.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_hpt366.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_hpt37x.c | 6 drivers/ata/pata_hpt3x2n.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_hpt3x3.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_icside.c | 7 drivers/ata/pata_it8213.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_it821x.c | 8 drivers/ata/pata_jmicron.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_macio.c | 7 drivers/ata/pata_marvell.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_mpc52xx.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_netcell.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_ninja32.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_ns87415.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_octeon_cf.c | 27 drivers/ata/pata_oldpiix.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_optidma.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_pcmcia.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_pdc2027x.c | 6 drivers/ata/pata_pdc202xx_old.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_piccolo.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_platform.c | 1 drivers/ata/pata_radisys.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_rdc.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_sc1200.c | 6 drivers/ata/pata_scc.c | 15 drivers/ata/pata_sch.c | 12 drivers/ata/pata_serverworks.c | 8 drivers/ata/pata_sil680.c | 4 drivers/ata/pata_sis.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_sl82c105.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_triflex.c | 2 drivers/ata/pata_via.c | 6 drivers/ata/pdc_adma.c | 74 - drivers/ata/sata_inic162x.c | 25 drivers/ata/sata_mv.c | 51 - drivers/ata/sata_nv.c | 266 ++--- drivers/ata/sata_promise.c | 32 drivers/ata/sata_qstor.c | 104 -- drivers/ata/sata_sil.c | 13 drivers/ata/sata_sil24.c | 9 drivers/ata/sata_sis.c | 4 drivers/ata/sata_svw.c | 4 drivers/ata/sata_sx4.c | 10 drivers/ata/sata_uli.c | 6 drivers/ata/sata_via.c | 8 drivers/ata/sata_vsc.c | 12 drivers/scsi/ipr.c | 6 drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c | 2 include/linux/ata.h | 2 include/linux/libata.h | 99 +- 76 files changed, 1743 insertions(+), 1700 deletions(-) Thanks. -- tejun [L] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/45344 -- 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
