I've been working on those for a while and initial testing shows no problems. Among the changes is a first attempt to remove the 64 byte buffer embedded in each packet command sent to an ide drive. Also, some ireason handling unification is there along with other minor stuff. This is based ontop of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git block-unify-sector-and-data_len and I'm more than open to suggestions on the logistics of merging those (how/when/on top of whose branch/who picks them up/do we want to hit the .31 merge window or do more testing?/etc) after being reviewed. drivers/ide/ide-atapi.c | 145 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------ drivers/ide/ide-cd.c | 69 +++-------------- drivers/ide/ide-floppy.c | 53 ++++++------- drivers/ide/ide-floppy_ioctl.c | 43 ++++++----- drivers/ide/ide-tape.c | 168 +++++++++++++++++++--------------------- include/linux/ide.h | 18 +---- 6 files changed, 238 insertions(+), 258 deletions(-) -- Thanks, Boris.
