Subject: [PATCH] libata: fix boot panic with SATAPI devices on non-SFF HBAs
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:18:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1208542728.3063.25.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Current 2.6.25 git head now panics reliably on boot if you have a SATAPI
device connected.
The problem was introduced by the libata merge trying to pull out all
the SFF code into a separate module. Unfortunately, if you're a satapi
device you usually need to call atapi_request_sense, which has a bare
invocation of a SFF callback which is NULL on non-SFF HBAs. Fix this by
making the call conditional.
