Subject: [PATCH #upstream] libata: make EH fail gracefully if no reset method is available
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:18:26 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47A040E2.1050801@gmail.com> (raw)
When no reset method is available, libata currently oopses. Although
the condition can't happen unless there's a bug in a low level driver,
oopsing isn't the best way to report the error condition. Complain,
dump stack and fail reset instead.
