This is the fourth take of hotplug polling patchset. As the name implies, this patchset implements hotplug by polling. hp-poll is used to * Monitor ports EH gave up. When EH gives up on a port, it freezes the port to protect the rest of the system from it. The user used to have to issue manual scan to retry the port. hp-poll can monitor such port and retry it when hotplug event is detected. This is also used by PMP support. * Support hotplug on controllers which can report hotplug conditions but cannot raise interrupt. Changes from the last take[L] are. * updated to the current upstream * global hp_poll_list and hp_poll_work replaced with per-host hp_poll_task This patchset is also available in the following git tree. http://htj.dyndns.org/git/?p=libata-tj.git;a=shortlog;h=hp-poll git://htj.dyndns.org/libata-tj hp-poll (web is temporarily down, but git pull works) Thanks. -- tejun [L] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/12151
