Add optional @ap argument to ata_wait_register() and replace msleep() calls with ata_msleep() which take optional @ap in addition to the duration. These will be used to implement EH exclusion. This patch doesn't cause any behavior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo<tj@xxxxxxxxxx> --- These three patches fix the long-standing EH exclusion bug which was reported more than three years ago and recently caused obscure problems during parallel probing for ata_piix w/ SIDPR. It basically implements EH big lock which guarantees that only single EH of a host is running. This achieves proper EH exclusion without pervasive changes to each driver which would be fragile while not harming parallel probing/EH too much.
