Subject: [PATCH] sata_nv: complain on spurious completion notifiers
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 23:53:03 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45DD2FBF.1040808@shaw.ca> (raw)

Recently Tejun wrote a patch to ahci.c to make it raise a HSM violation
if the drive attempted to complete a tag that wasn't outstanding. We could
run into the same problem with sata_nv ADMA. This adds code to raise a HSM
violation error if the controller gives us a notifier tag that isn't
outstanding, since the drive may be issuing spurious completions.
