Can you try disabling the IDE driver (CONFIG_IDE) and enabling the newer 
libata driver?  (CONFIG_ATA)

The IRQ routing issue has been fixed. IRQ routing system
on my board is somewhat complicated: i8259->mlba (FPGA based
PCI device)->MV64460(system controller). I forgot to set MV64460
IRQ pin to level sensitive and edge sensitive was used, which caused
interrupt lost finally. After changing this to level sensitive, everything
seems fine. Now, the problem isn't interrupt lost, but suspending DMA
operations.

Jeff, I tried moving to ATA driver for PIIX4 today and found ATA need to 
request
2 IRQ lines, each one of them belongs to primary and secondary channel. 
However,
when I make PIIX4 worked under IDE driver, it also need to request one 
IRQ for "ide1".
So it's necessary to disable secondary channel manually?

Another question is my PIIX4 chip has device ID + vendor ID of 
0x71108086. But it finally
was mapped to following ID of piix_pci_tbl[] array. Device of 0x7110 and 
0x7010 should
be quit different, right?

 { 0x8086, 0x7010, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, piix_pata_mwdma },

If the controller is in legacy mode then libata will claim the interrupt
lines for all channels which are enabled even if there are no devices on
them. This is neccessary for device hot or warm plug support as new disks
could appear on empty channels.

Yes - I find tht one very odd - you might need to debug a bit to see what
is occuring if you think this is the case.

Would be great to try with some recent one, the issue may have been
fixed already (which is quite likely given a number of bugfixes that
went in recent kernels).

Thanks,

I tried to searched in bugzilla.kernel.org and didn't find
there has fix on this issue. Yesterday, Jeff suggested me
to turn to ata driver for PIIX4. I tried this yesterday but still
have some problems to make PIIX4 workable under ata
driver. I will continue working on this today.

Alan/Jeff, I tried to install ATA driver on PIIX4. After fixing IRQ number
to 143 for primary and secondary channel. I got following output and
it seems the driver has been loaded sucessfully. However, I couldn't

You need the SCSI disk driver - sd_mod.ko.

Alan and Jeff, I didn't receive your reply till now. I'm not sure you are 
still intrested on this issue. If you would like to get more information,
pls let me know. 

I tested it for almost one day and found same issue on 100GB and 60GB
disk. So I have to think about interrupt lost inside i8259. Then I changed
code of i8259 for several time and tested it and unfortunately same issue
was there. I don't have good ideas now. If you would like, I can show you
the code about i8259 interrupt handling. 

The suspecting point of mine on i8259 is: when multiple interrupts are asserted
on slave controller. Non-specific EOI will clear all pending interrupts or just
clear that one in ISR?

I also turned on the debugging options and got following output when 
timeout happened.

Re: PIIX4: DMA timeout issue

[gshan]

Hi Alan & Jeff,

I have being struggled for this issue for long time, but have no ideas 
finally. So
I have to write mail to you for suggestions again. Thanks in advance for 
your
reply since you're busy.

I'm using IDE driver instead of ATA driver for my PIIX4 IDE controller. 
The experiment
is: 1)mount local directory (/aaa on ramdisk) to remote server via NFS; 
2)copy a big
file (about 600MB) from remote server to local disk, finally DMA timeout 
happened.

When DMA timeout happened, I have dumped out PRD table as follows, it seems
the PRD table doesn't have any problem. Note that pls swap bytes for PRD 
entries
(from big endian to little endian).

SP(27-A) $ mount /dev/hda1 /disk_root/
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
SP(27-A) $ cd /disk_root/
SP(27-A) $ cp /aaa/Gavin/sp3m/target_7xx_cge5.2008-07-10.tgz ./

If possible, could you tell me how IDE complete DMA transfer on PCI bus?

Thanks,
Gavin
