Subject: [PATCH #upstream-fixes] ahci: give another shot at clearing all bits in irq_stat
Date: Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:10:50 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <486EF44A.20400@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <486EE804.6020202@kernel.org>

Commit ea0c62f7cf70f13a67830471b613337bd0c9a62e tried to clear all
bits in irq_stat but it didn't actually achieve that as irq_stat was
anded with port_map right after read.  This patch makes ahci driver
always use the unmasked value to clear irq_status.

While at it, add explanation on the peculiarities of ahci IRQ
clearing.

This was spotted by Linus Torvalds.

The original report requires further investigation regarding why the
bogus change fixed the problem but this change is the correct thing to
do regardless.

Thanks.
