Subject: [PATCH 0/7] libata: irq_on/off restructuring (take #2)
Date: Sat, 07 Jul 2007 14:57:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <468F3949.5050800@tw.ibm.com> (raw)
(Revised per Tejun's advice.)
For ATA, there are two levels of mechanism available to turn irq on/off.
- device level: nIEN bit in the control register. This masks INTRQ from the device.
- host adapter level: some controllers can mask out per-port irq from the host adapter.
Currently various parts of libata deal with irq on/off.
ex. tf_load() can alter the nIEN bit.
ex. irq_on() also alters the device level nIEN bit.
ex. freeze()/thaw() deal with the host adapter irq mask.
It seems these irq_on/off codes could be better structured.
Patches against the libata-dev tree for your review, thanks.
1/7: remove irq_on from ata_bus_reset() and ata_std_postreset()
2/7: sata_promise::pdc_freeze() semantic change
3/7: add freeze()/thaw() to old EH LLDDs
4/7: use freeze()/thaw() for polling PIO
5/7: integrate freeze/thaw with irq_on/off
6/7: tf_load() cleanup
7/7: remove ap->last_ctl
