The last approach in the commit 8b3444852a2b ("sata_dwc_460ex: move to generic
DMA driver") to switch to generic DMA engine API wasn't tested on bare metal.
Besides that we expecting new board support coming with the same SATA IP but
with different DMA.

The driver has been tested myself on Sam460ex and WD MyBookLive (apollo3g)
boards. In any case I ask Christian, Måns, and Julian to independently test and
provide Tested-by tag or error report.
I did a test run on my WD MyBook Live. I applied all the patches in
this series on top of the topic/dw branch of Vinod Koul:

Ok, here's the copy from my mail off-list.

Well, a unrelated driver "m41t80" caused a crash:

                  ^^^ "reboot is needed!"

Another thing that came to my mind: Have you checked if your hard drive
and the cables are ok? Are there any pending sectors or suspicious smart
values? Has the drive passed the extended offline test?
Otherwise, I can't reproduce the error with my MyBook system. I've tested
your kernel and it worked on the device without crashing. (I copied/dd'ed
80GB from and back to the hard-drive. It was long and boring, but I didn't
encounter any issues and the crc32 matched).

Sorry, but I can't help you if I can't reproduce it... And short of sending
your box to test, I see no efficient way to debug it. However, what I can
do, if you are interested: I have a few "build your own" My Book Live kits.
It just needs a 3.5" hard-drive and 12v power adapter. If you are interested
PM me off-list, this way you can verify that the kernels you build do work,
just in case this error is due to a hardware issue (zapped controller,
bad ram/drive/cable?) with your sam460ex box.

Regards,
Christian


My Hardware seems ok.
I have swapped cables and drives between the SII3512 pci controller and the DWC controller.
No issues when connected to the SII3512 pci controller .
The DWC controller works ok under AmigaOS 4.1FE so that does not appear to be a problem.

Regards
Julian
