Subject: [PATCH 01/03] sata_mv Fix MSI irq race
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:49:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49B6EE95.1010808@rtr.ca> (raw)

Fix a (rare) race condition in mv_interrupt() when using MSI.

The value of hpriv->main_irq_mask_addr can change on on the fly,
and without this patch we could end up writing back a stale copy
to the hardware.

Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com>

Duplicate of earlier patch submitted for #upstream-fixes (2.6.29).
This one is for libata-dev #upstream
