Hi, I am implementing mwdma interface for arasan compact flash controller. I am facing a strange problem, when i insert CF card on my board (after bootup), in mwdma mode, i get following: ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0xe frozen ata1: soft resetting link ata1.00: CFA: TRANSCEND, 20091215, max UDMA/66 ata1.00: 62537328 sectors, multi 0: LBA ata1.00: configured for MWDMA4 ata1: EH complete scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA TRANSCEND 2009 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 62537328 512-byte logical blocks: (32.0 GB/29.8 GiB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sda: unknown partition table sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk I tried PIO mode on same card and it worked fine i got sda1 created. I suspected that there is some problem with DMA, so i took dump of all data read by PIO and DMA. After configuring in MWDMA4 mode at: ata1.00: configured for MWDMA4 a read request of 4096 bytes occurs (both in PIO (handled by libata-sff) and MWDMA). These 4096 bytes are exactly same in case of PIO and MWDMA. Also all data read before configuring MWDMA4 mode is also same, as that is done by common PIO code. In my interrupt handler, after controller specific code i am calling: ata_bmdma_interrupt(irq, dev); also i am returning ATA_DMA_INTR from my bmdma_status routine. ata_port_operations is: static struct ata_port_operations arasan_cf_ops = { .inherits = &ata_bmdma_port_ops, .set_piomode = arasan_cf_set_piomode, .set_dmamode = arasan_cf_set_dmamode, .bmdma_setup = arasan_cf_bmdma_setup, .bmdma_start = arasan_cf_bmdma_start, .bmdma_stop = arasan_cf_bmdma_stop, .bmdma_status = arasan_cf_bmdma_status, .sff_irq_clear = arasan_cf_bmdma_irq_clear, }; There are no BMDMA registers in my controller. Can somebody give any clue on which part i should try to look at? thanks in advance, viresh -- 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
