Hi,

Patches appended to this mail fixes a bug explained below.
There are two ways to fix the bug. PLEASE CHOOSE BETTER ONE.


Look at wait_drive_not_busy in drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c:

    static u8 wait_drive_not_busy(ide_drive_t *drive)
    {
	    ide_hwif_t *hwif = HWIF(drive);
	    int retries = 100;
	    u8 stat;

	    /*
	     * Last sector was transfered, wait until drive is ready.
	     * This can take up to 10 usec, but we will wait max 1 ms
	     * (drive_cmd_intr() waits that long).
	     */
	    while (((stat = hwif->INB(IDE_STATUS_REG)) & BUSY_STAT) && retries--)
		    udelay(10);

	    if (!retries)
		    printk(KERN_ERR "%s: drive still BUSY!\n", drive->name);

	    return stat;
    }

`printk' is never called because `retries' never holds zero at the
outside of `while' loop: when `retries' holds zero at the while's loop
condition, `retries' will hold -1 at the if condition.

I'm not on this mailing list, so add my address to Cc: when you reply to me.

Oh, yes.
Giving `retries' both roles: loop counter and condition flag for logging
may not good.


    for (retries = 0; retries < 100; retries++)
    {
	    if ((stat = hwif->INB(IDE_STATUS_REG)) & BUSY_STAT)
	       break;

	    udelay(10);
    }


    if (stat & BUSY_STAT)
	    printk(KERN_ERR "%s: drive still BUSY!\n", drive->name);

Please re-submit this fix in the form of a patch so I can merge it.

Applied but please remember to always include patch description when
sending the improved version of the patch.  This time I fixed it manually
to speed up the procedure.

Thanks,
Bart
