Subject: hwif->rw_disk() method
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 19:30:35 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45A514AB.2080605@ru.mvista.com> (raw)
Hello.
Alan/Bart/anybody, could you enlighten me why hwif->rw_disk() method came
into being at all?
IIUC, hwif->dma_setup() method could have been used instead which is
called from the ATAPI drivers and the ide-taskfile.c, while hwif->rw_disk() is
only called from ide-disk.c. I'm thinking about replacing this hook in
hpt366.c (the only its user) an getting rid of it altogether...
MBR, Sergei
