Subject: [PATCH] sata_via: don't diddle with ATA_NIEN in ->freeze
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 20:46:59 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070125114659.GD8606@htj.dyndns.org> (raw)
vt6420 completely loses its ability to raise IRQ for ATAPI devices if
ATA_NIEN is diddled with in ->freeze. Further investigation is
necessary to determine whether this problem is shared on other
controllers but it doesn't seem to be at this point.
Make vt6420's ->freeze only clear IRQ to fix this problem. This makes
vt6420 relatively more prone to IRQ storms but the controller is way
too braindamaged to worry about that anyway.

Jeff, this fix is verified to fix J. Taimr's case and a few other
reported that 2.6.20-rc5 fixed their ATAPI detection problems too. We
still have several case to hunt down but getting verified fixes in
early helps separating different causes. Please include this in
#upstream-fixes. Thanks.
