To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Hi, I am new to SATA driver development. Here i have few questions. I am able to understand how SATA driver =C2=A0will send FISes to device= =2E I would like to know how the received FISes are handled in case of =46ISes come from the device? These FISes are copied in a special area whose base address is given in the "FIS base" register. I am would like to know which driver hooks (functions) to libATA will handle the received FISes? i appreciate your inputs. -- Regards, Murali N
