Subject: Merging ATA passthru
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 15:14:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43593E0A.4070801@pobox.com> (raw)
Folks,
Taking Mark Lord's (and others) criticism to heart, I'm going to merge
the ATA passthru work upstream, once 2.6.14 is released.
Since there are still some reported problems that I haven't had time to
track down, I'm going to -- like ATAPI -- introduce a module option that
enables passthru. It will default to off.
Other features that follow a similar pattern -- 98% there but needs a
few final tweaks -- will be treated in the same way.
This gets lesser-used features upstream where they can get the most
testing, while defaulting them to off ensures that we won't perturb the
known-working code.
This also will help me, in that I won't have to maintain a bunch of
parallel codebases.
Jeff
