Re: Debugging new HW XOR engine driver

Hi Dan,
  440SPe was my refence driver . I am working new SOC with some modifications to XOR engines. I have most of the stuff working like ADMA and XOR(tested one block of data). When I use ADMA and SW XOR(with out HW XOR) RAID-5 works fine.    When combined ADMA + XOR , having issues.  When I create a file system and try to mount it fails. Which could be becasue of some state problem in XOR calculations.
Is there any document about how  full stripe write, partial stripe writes and recovery  works in MD driver ?
Thanks,
Marri

Is this related to the driver started here?

[PATCH] [PPC32]  ADMA support for PPC 440SPe processors.

If so, that may be a better starting point.
