Subject: PATCH: Fix error handling for drives which clear the FIFO on error
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 14:54:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1151330048.27147.32.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

If the controller FIFO cleared automatically on error we must not try
and drain it as this will hang some chips.

Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>

Based in concept on a broken patch from -mm some while back
