Here is the list of patches pending for #upstream-fixes, #upstream and waiting your review. Some of the patches collide and some might not apply to the current #upstream[-fixes]. If you want me to regenerate them or stack them in any particular order in a git tree, just let me know. Thanks. *** *** pending patches for #upstream-fixes *** [PATCH] sata_sis: fix flags handling for the secondary port http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13639 This bug breaks the secondary port and is a regression. The fix has been verified by Uwe Koziolek and Patrick McHardy . *** *** pending patches which might be appropriate for #upstream-fixes *** From: Uwe Koziolek Re: sata_sis only recognizing primary drive in 2.6.18 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13641 This is straight forward SLAVE_POSS flag addition for controllers which can do slave ports. I think it's safe to push this to #upstream-fixes too. [PATCH] ata_piix: allow 01b MAP for both ICH6M and ICH7M http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13398 Verified by Tom Deblauwe via private mail. *** *** pending patches for #upstream *** [PATCH] sata_nv: SRST sometimes fails after hotplug, use HRST_TO_RESUME http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13241 verified by Jim Paris && harmless [RFT PATCH] libata: implement ATA_FLAG_SETXFER_POLLING and use it in pata_via http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13248 Matthieu Castet tested with both SETXFER_POLLING and DETECT_POLLING turned on. I asked for re-test but no response yet. SETXFER_POLLING and DETECT_POLLING affect different stages of detection and his setup working okay means SETXFER_POLLING is doing its job. I think we can put this into upstream and -mm for more testing. [PATCHSET] libata: implement presence detection using polling IDENTIFY for ata_piix http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13284/focus=13284 Has been in -mm for some time now. This doesn't solve all piix detection problems but it solves problems caused by PCS not reporting device presence when device is actually there. This basically reverts detection behavior to pre-IRQ-pio when we seemed to have much fewer problems. There hasn't been any report of this patch causing negative effect. With this patch applied, I think one left PCS problem is PCS update failing to enable ports. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7170 *** *** patchsets pending review *** [PATCH] libata: handle 0xff status properly http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13408 Acked by Alan Cox and I have at least one positive report of killing unnecessary wait and those annonying 0xff messages during boot. As this patch mimics the behavior of the IDE driver, the approach should be safe. [PATCHSET] hotplug polling, take 5 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13467/focus=13467 [PATCHSET] implement ata_link, take 3 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13478/focus=13494 [PATCHSET] prep for PMP suport, take 3 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13500/focus=13500 [PATCHSET] implement PMP support, take 3 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13503/focus=13503 (the patchset title is wrong, sorry) [PATCHSET] sata_sil: implement Mod15Write workaround by split request processing http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13570/focus=13570 -- tejun
