Hi Shtylyov, After I review the BF54x ATAPI and DMA spec again, I have to NAK your following patch. The BF54x ATAPI DMA controller doesn't comply with INF-8038i. Interrupts MULTI_DONE_INT, UDMAIN_DONE_INT and UDMAOUT_DONE_INT are generated by BF54x ATAPI host controller. They also indicate the completion of various types of ATAPI transfers. So do interrupts MULTI_TERM_INT, UDMAIN_TERM_INT and UDMAOUT_TERM_INT, which indicate the device termination of the ATAPI DMA transfer. In BF54x hardware reference manual: After servicing the interrupt source associated with a bit, the user must clear that interrupt source bit. ATA_DEV_INT is the interrupt generated by the device. The rest of the interrupts are generated by the host. Either the device or the host interrupt can be used by the firmware. The PIO_DONE_INT, MULTI_DONE_INT, ULTRA_IN_DONE_INT, and ULTRA_OUT_DONE_INT (W1C) bits indicate that interrupts have been asserted on completion of various types of transfers. The MULTI_TERM_INT (W1C) bit indicates that the interrupt has been asserted on device terminate of the multiword DMA transfer. The ULTRA_IN_TERM_INT and ULTRA_OUT_TERM_INT (W1C) bits indicate that interrupts have been asserted on device termination of ultra DMA in or out transfers.

(The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to flush the FIFO to memory once the interrupt happens as required by the mentioned spec.) Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The patch is against the current Linus' tree. Sonic, if you still work in Analog Devices, please give this a try. I looked over the driver, and it left pretty bad impression. In particular, I highly doubt that the transfers with more than one S/G item can work. And this is after the driver has been in the kernel for 4 years already... Unfortunately, I have neither hardware nor much time to work on improving it... drivers/ata/pata_bf54x.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/drivers/ata/pata_bf54x.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/ata/pata_bf54x.c +++ linux-2.6/drivers/ata/pata_bf54x.c @@ -1153,15 +1153,11 @@ static unsigned char bfin_bmdma_status(s { unsigned char host_stat = 0; void __iomem *base = (void __iomem *)ap->ioaddr.ctl_addr; - unsigned short int_status = ATAPI_GET_INT_STATUS(base); - if (ATAPI_GET_STATUS(base) & (MULTI_XFER_ON|ULTRA_XFER_ON)) + if (ATAPI_GET_STATUS(base) & (MULTI_XFER_ON | ULTRA_XFER_ON)) host_stat |= ATA_DMA_ACTIVE; - if (int_status & (MULTI_DONE_INT|UDMAIN_DONE_INT|UDMAOUT_DONE_INT| - ATAPI_DEV_INT)) + if (ATAPI_GET_INT_STATUS(base) & ATAPI_DEV_INT) host_stat |= ATA_DMA_INTR; - if (int_status & (MULTI_TERM_INT|UDMAIN_TERM_INT|UDMAOUT_TERM_INT)) - host_stat |= ATA_DMA_ERR|ATA_DMA_INTR; dev_dbg(ap->dev, "ATAPI: host_stat=0x%x\n", host_stat); -- 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
