The patch titled VIA PATA controller xfer fixes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is via-pata-controller-xfer-fixes.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: VIA PATA controller xfer fixes From: matthieu castet <castet.matthieu@xxxxxxx> On via controller(vt8235) and pata via, some ATAPI devices (CDR-6S48) fail in the xfer mode initialisation. This make the boot slow and the drive unsuable. It seems the interrupt for xfer mode is done before the drive is ready, so the current libata code skip the interrupt. But no new interrupt is done by the controller, so the xfer mode fails. A quirk is to wait for 10 us (by step of 1 us) and see if the device becomes ready in the case of SETFEATURES_XFER feature. The problem seems pata_via only, so the quirk is put in the pata_via interrupt handler as Tejun Heo request. It won't affect working devices, as we don't wait if the device is already ready. It will adds an extra ata_altstatus in order to avoid to duplicate ata_host_intr, but only in the case of SETFEATURES_XFER (with should happen only few times). Sorry for the lack of changelog in my previous mail, I tought the old changelog + move it in pata via interrupt was enought. And sorry again, I sent you a bad patch (I forgot a quitl refresh).
