Subject: IDE: strange WAIT_READY dependency on APM
Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2004 04:44:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041209034438.GF22324@stusta.de> (raw)
IDE contains the following strange code:
<-- snip -->
#if defined(CONFIG_APM) || defined(CONFIG_APM_MODULE)
#define WAIT_READY (5*HZ) /* 5sec - some laptops are very slow */
#else
#define WAIT_READY (HZ/10) /* 100msec - should be instantaneous */
#endif /* CONFIG_APM || CONFIG_APM_MODULE */
<-- snip -->
On the one hand APM isn't enabled on all laptops.
On the other hand, this also affects regular PCs with APM support (or
using a distribution kernel with APM support).
The time for the !APM case was already increased from 30msec in 2.4 .
Isn't there a timeout that is suitable for all cases?
