Subject: [PATCH] libata: initialize qc->dma_dir to DMA_NONE
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 11:34:02 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070117023402.GP10987@htj.dyndns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <45AD60B9.3030501@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
libata didn't used to init qc->dma_dir to any specific value on qc
initialization and command translation path didn't set qc->dma_dir if
the command doesn't need data transfer. This made non-data commands
to have random qc->dma_dir.
This usually doesn't cause problem because LLDs usually check
qc->protocol first and look at qc->dma_dir iff the command needs data
transfer but this doesn't hold for all LLDs.
It might be worthwhile to rename qc->dma_dir to qc->data_dir as we use
the field to tag data direction for both PIO and DMA protocols.
This problem has been spotted by James Bottomley.
