[PATCH] libata: add kernel parameter to force ATA_HORKAGE_NO_DMA_LOG

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The ATA_CMD_READ_LOG_DMA_EXT can cause controller/device to
become unresponsive until the next power cycle.
This seems to particularly affect IDE to SATA adapters,
possibly in combination with certain SATA SSDs, though
there might be more/different cases.
Comment 5 of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195895
is an example.
Having an option to disable its use allows booting systems affected,
which besides being a useful workaround is also a necessary
step to allow gathering more debug info on these systems.
Existing workarounds like forcing PIO mode do not work
(in addition to the performance issues) because READ_LOG_DMA
is issued even if PIO mode is forced.
