In libata case, ata_dev_configure() will cause a lot of ata_exec_internal_sg() calls for IDENTIFY and various READ LOG commands. That is all done with non-ncq commands, which means that we do not require a hw tag. But given that you are changing ata_exec_internal_sg() to call alloc_request + blk_execute_rq_nowait(), how would these work without a tag, at least a soft one ? Or we would need to keep the current code to use ata_qc_issue() directly for probe time ? That will look very ugly... > > Thanks, > John -- Damien Le Moal Western Digital Research
