IT8212/ITE RAID

IT8212/ITE RAID

[CaT]

Having an IDE card with one of these chipsets has left me with a bit of
a quandry. I've seen 2 different patch, both seemingly not going
anywhere.

1. Alan Cox's IDE driver that was included in his ac patchset, which
   seems to have died at 2.6.11ac7.
2. A brief visit from a SCSI IDE driver in Andrew Mortons mm patchset.
   It lived a brief but noted life before being taken out without any
   reason (that I spotted) in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1

Now, I'd like to upgrade my kernel to cover the security patches
releases since 11ac7 but... do I extract the ac driver or the mm driver
and try to use it? Will my data be eaten? Is there any chance of seeing
either driver in the kernel, proper?

Just wondering which way to go and stuff. :/

Alan's driver has been merged into 2.6.13. You can get the up-to-date patches 
here:

Thats probably the fact other patches from -ac are missing in base. It
should be harmless.

Yep - on my "wtf" list. In some cases we send a strange command to the
IT8212 drive. I'm still trying to find the guilty command we send (none
of my drives do this), so that I can fix the ident adjustment to stop
it. The noise is just the command being rejected which is ok but messy
and wants stomping.

What does a full identify data set for the drive look like ?

Cut the crap, you know I've submitted the stuff again and again and
again along with other fixes, reports of stuff you broke you ignored
etc. So I got bored of playing your games.

Would make sense, but I thought I had the right bits masked. Will take a
look tomorrow however.

* your stuff was accepted after all (and some stuff like ide-cd
  fixes was never splitted from the -ac patchset and submitted)

* you've never provided any technical details on "the stuff I broke"

Can't you get over this bullshit please?  Life goes on.

WIN_RESTORE is send unconditionally (as it always was),

This is not the right thing, somebody should go over all ATA/ATAPI
drafts and come with the correct strategy of handling WIN_RESTORE.

They were.

I did, several times. I had some detailed locking discussions with
Manfred and others on it as a result. The locking in the base IDE is
still broken, in fact its become worse - the random locking around
timing changes now causes some PIIX users to see double spinlock debug
with the base kernel as an example.

Ok that would make sense. Matthew Garrett also reported some problems in
that area with suspend/resume (BIOS restoring its idea of things...)

I remember discussion about end-of-media ide-cd fixes but the patch
was never submitted.  If you have *URL* to the patch I'll work on the patch.

Huh?  *WHICH* my patch causes this?

I don't remember this discussion et all, care to give some pointers?

Quite likely, WIN_RESTORE is not sent on resume etc.

Any news about URLs?  It shouldn't be too hard find them unless they
never existed in the first place. I will work on the issues immediately.

WHOA Gents!

Let me get some popcorn to watch this p-contest.
The way you guys are sniping at each other sounds like the good-old days,
when everyone railed me and the subsystem and ended up railing back

Guess nothing was learned from the 6+ years of flamage.

I have mellowed out with age ...

Bart, give Alan a break ... his is genrally right at the end of the day.

Alan, give Bart a break ... cause there is no way I am coming back for a
three-pete.

Cheers,

Andre
