Subject: [PATCH] IDE: Fix Power Management request race on resume
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2003 20:39:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1063132760.642.15.camel@gaston> (raw)

Hi Linus !

The current IDE Power Management code I wrote has a race on wakeup
when the master device got resumed, it may take a request. At this
point, a PM resume request to a slave device of the same hwgroup
would clear hwgroup->rq and cause an Oops when the master device
request completes.

This patch fixes it. Due to the context in which PM resume requests
are sent, just not clearing hwgroup->rq for these is enough.

Please apply, this patch was already tested & discussed with Bart.

I also removed a useless debug message in the PM code that was
actually misleading (people though it indicated a problem while it
didn't, it's really useless) and fix a typo in a comment.

Cheers,
Ben.
