The patch titled libata: don't whine if ->prereset() returns -ENOENT has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is libata-dont-whine-if-prereset-returns-enoent.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: libata: don't whine if ->prereset() returns -ENOENT From: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> ->prereset() returns -ENOENT to tell libata that the port is empty and reset sequencing should be stopped. This is not an error condition. Update ata_eh_reset() such that it sets device classes to ATA_DEV_NONE and return success in on -ENOENT. This makes spurious error message go away. 1. I think these ports should be made dummy instead of returning -ENOENT on prereset(). -ENOENT from prereset() was a hack to keep ata_piix's behavior unchanged while converting it to new EH. If no one objcts, I'll convert similar usages to use dummy ports after new init model and drop -ENOENT hack in #upstream. 2. -ENODEV sounds more appropriate. Why have I used -ENOENT. :-) Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ata/libata-eh.c | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN drivers/ata/libata-eh.c~libata-dont-whine-if-prereset-returns-enoent drivers/ata/libata-eh.c --- a/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c~libata-dont-whine-if-prereset-returns-enoent +++ a/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c @@ -1648,8 +1648,14 @@ static int ata_eh_reset(struct ata_port rc = prereset(ap, jiffies + ATA_EH_PRERESET_TIMEOUT); if (rc) { if (rc == -ENOENT) { - ata_port_printk(ap, KERN_DEBUG, "port disabled. ignoring.\n"); + ata_port_printk(ap, KERN_DEBUG, + "port disabled. ignoring.\n"); ap->eh_context.i.action &= ~ATA_EH_RESET_MASK; + + for (i = 0; i < ATA_MAX_DEVICES; i++) + classes[i] = ATA_DEV_NONE; + + rc = 0; } else ata_port_printk(ap, KERN_ERR, "prereset failed (errno=%d)\n", rc); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from htejun@xxxxxxxxx are origin.patch git-libata-all.patch sata_nv-add-back-some-verbosity-into-adma-error_handler.patch libata-dont-whine-if-prereset-returns-enoent.patch introduce-config_has_dma.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
