Subject: [PATCH] ata: libata-eh: Do not use ATAPI DMA for a device limited to PIO mode
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2025 02:54:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250221015422.20687-2-cassel@kernel.org> (raw)
atapi_eh_request_sense() currently uses ATAPI DMA if the SATA controller
has ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA (PIO cmds via DMA) set.
However, ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA is a flag that can be set by a low-level driver
on a port at initialization time, before any devices are scanned.
If a controller detects a connected device that only supports PIO, we set
the flag ATA_DFLAG_PIO.
Modify atapi_eh_request_sense() to not use ATAPI DMA if the connected
device only supports PIO.
