Subject: [PATCH] amd74xx: workaround unreliable AltStatus register for nVidia controllers
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:38:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200811212238.51161.bzolnier@gmail.com> (raw)

It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
is in Compatibility Mode.  In order to achieve this:

* Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.

* Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
  driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.

* Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.

This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
available (kernel.org bug #11659).  [ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
(which is what most distributions/people use) it never worked correctly. ]

Thanks to Remy LABENE for help with debugging the problem.

This fix should be safe for both .28 and -stable.
