PMP patches for more recent kernel?

PMP patches for more recent kernel?

[Pierre Ossman]

Hi,

I'm eager to test out your PMP patches as I'm currently sitting on a SATA disk
rack that requires a PMP to be used. Your current set is from october though and
seems to require some work to get to apply on the current kernel. Do you have
something newer I can play with?

I'm going to answer this question, because I'm getting 3-4 emails a week
now since I did the previous port of the PMP patches to 2.6.20rc2.

This was my previous instructional email.

That set of patches is intended for applying against the Linus GIT tree
as of approximately 2.6.20rc2, combined with the libata#upstream tree of
the same vintage.

They do NOT apply to anything newer, and definite work is needed in
porting them. I don't have time for such porting at present, so unless
somebody else ports them, I don't see them moving very fast at all.

Things would probably go much smooth if the hp_poll and ata_link stuff
got into jgarzik's tree, but I don't know when he will accept them.

I've managed to rebase your PMP tree against HEAD and I'm not successfully
running a PMP off a sil24 device. In case you want to use my work, it can be
pulled from kernel.org (branch pmp):

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/drzeus/mmc.git;a=summary

Be aware that I'm a complete SATA noob though and my rebase consisted of fixing
merge conflicts and compile errors.
