Subject: [PATCH #upstream-fixes] sata_sil24: prevent hba lockup when pass-through ATA commands are used
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:47:56 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4785BF9C.4010503@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4785A4E6.90107@garzik.org>

From: Gwendal Grignou <gwendal@google.com>

Fix commands timeout with Sil3124/3132 based HBA when pass-through ATA
commands [where ATA_QCFLAG_RESULT_TF is set] are used while other
commands are active on other devices connected to the same port with a
Port Multiplier.  Due to a hardware bug, these commands must be sent
alone, like ATAPI commands.
