The patch titled hpsa: do not attempt to read from a write-only register has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hpsa-do-not-attempt-to-read-from-a-write-only-register.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: hpsa: do not attempt to read from a write-only register From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Most smartarrays tolerate it, but a few new ones don't. When the controller doesn't tolerate the bug, the firmware on it locks up. No interrupts are received, no commands complete. I/o on that controller grinds to a halt. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.
