ide.2.2.19.04092001.patch

[Andre Hedrick]

This is up with some updates

Short notice development for Promise Ultra100 TX2 sponsored by
Penguin Computer and again little/no help from Promise.

This is a unique chipset that does setfeatures sensing of the transfer
rates and thus it is counter to the standard Promise design.  It does
still use the pdc202xx.c chipset code, but much of it is skipped over to
preserve the hidden settings calls.  The one issue for this chipset is
that it may not be ideal for hotswap as the unknown states are issues.

DiskPerf /dev/hde
Device: IBM-DTLA-307075 Serial Number: YSDYSFA5874
LBA 0 DMA Read Test                      = 63.35 MB/Sec (3.95 Seconds)
Outer Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test  = 35.89 MB/Sec (6.97 Seconds)
Inner Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test  = 17.64 MB/Sec (14.17 Seconds)

CR3's adjusted:	for kernel transfer rates and conservative
LBA 0 DMA Read Test                      = 85.52 MB/Sec
Outer Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test  = 48.45 MB/Sec
Inner Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test  = 23.81 MB/Sec

There is about a 35%-40% under reporting of performance from kernel to
user-space ioctl calls.

Where can I get the latest DiskPerf?

The version on:
http://www.xx.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/utility-patches/DiskPerf-1.0.1.tar.gz
does not compile at all:

linux:~/DiskPerf-1.0 # make

Hi,

This isn't working here on my Abit VP6 board.  The
ide.2.2.18.1221 works fine but this latest patch as well as
ide.2.2.19.0325 fails.

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.30
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6

That's where it stops.  Locks solid, not even sysrq-b
works.

Same here with my VP6.  ide-2.2.18 worked, but ide-2.2.19 doesn't.

So you want a VIA-old and VIA-new ??

Hi,

Is the version of the driver in the latest IDE patch v4.x? 
That's odd as that driver does work fine on Linux 2.4.3. 
It's just the one in 2.2.19+ide.2.2.19.0405 which seems to
be locking up.

Best regards,
Shane

Not it is a migration to what is in Linux 2.4.3, but not there yet.
This is a 3.x version.
