Add one more HITACHI SATA disk to NCQ blacklist

Add one more HITACHI SATA disk to NCQ blacklist

[Simos Xenitellis]

Hi,
The hard disk with 
	model num: "HITACHI HTS541616J9SA00"
	model rev: "SB4IC7UP"

is causing NCQ errors and should be blacklisted.
Currently the blacklist for Hitachi hard disks includes

	{ "HITACHI HDS7250SASUN500G*", NULL,    ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ },
	{ "HITACHI HDS7225SBSUN250G*", NULL,    ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ },
...
	/* Blacklist entries taken from Silicon Image 3124/3132
	   Windows driver .inf file - also several Linux problem reports */
	{ "HTS541060G9SA00",    "MB3OC60D",     ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ, },
	{ "HTS541080G9SA00",    "MB4OC60D",     ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ, },
	{ "HTS541010G9SA00",    "MBZOC60D",     ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ, },


http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;f=drivers/ata/libata-core.c;hb=HEAD

The same hard disk causing NCQ errors to different users,

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/137470


Could you please add the entry
	{ "HITACHI HTS541616J9SA00",    NULL,     ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ, },

Those first two "references" above look totally bogus -- they have nothing to do with NCQ.

..

That one is for 2.6.22.  We need to know if the problem exists with 2.6.24,
as the NCQ code has had a number of fixes since July 2007.

Also, more information about the hardware involved would be useful.
An NCQ bug could be due to the SATA chipset more than the drive,
or perhaps only the combination of the two.

Cheers

Answering my own question here:  if one actually reads through the thread
linked to above, it says that the 2.6.24 kernel seems to have resolved all issues.

There doesn't appear to be any reason to do this, unless you have more information ?

Thanks Marc, Eric for the replies.

My original post with the error messages and the details of the disk is
at
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ide@vger.kernel.org/msg12243.html

I'll have to test the latest version of the kernel to see if the problem
still persists.

Cheers,
Simos
