[PATCH 1/1] megaraid_{mm,mbox}: updated fix-a-bug-in-reset-handler

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

 



Hi,

This patch has created against 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.

The patch contains changes addressing following concerns brought by
previous megaraid_mmmbox-fix-a-bug-in-reset-handler.patch.

1.Andrew Morton:
	> +			scb->status = -EFAULT;

	What is the significance of -EFAULT here?  Seems inappropriate?
2. Andrew Morton:
	And if that mbox is in main memory, the duration of this spin
will vary by
	a factor of many tens across all the different machines on which
this
	driver must operate.

	Careful use of ndelay() or udelay() would fix that.

Thank you,

Seokmann
