Btw, there is another _huge_ issue with the driver, and that is the lack of any internal queueing. Remember the make_request interface is an extremly thin layer (or rather the lack of it) below the filesystem. So for example if eh_active is non-zero you return -EBUSY to the filesystems. That's an error code it a) doesn't recognize and b) couldn't handle even if it did. Similarly mtip_hw_get_scatterlist simply blocks if no tag is currently available instead of queueing it up. -- 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
