It helps to have this functionality implemented at host controller layer so that the host layer is informed about this. If we just end the request from the MMC core layer, host controller driver doesnt even kow about that and it remains in the same state processing the request (that already got timed out at core layer). It is good to have the host layer trigger this timeout, do necessary clean up and then duly end the request by informing the core layer by calling mmc_request_done(). Let me put the question in this way. If the core layer times out (because of wait_for_completion_timeout) then in the patch that you have submitted, i dont see how the host layer knows about it. Apologize, if i sound like a broken record saying the same thing again and again. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
