[PATCH] stop CompactFlash devices being marked as removable

2006-02-03T16:32:12+00:00

This patch stops CompactFlash devices being marked as removable.  They are
not removable (as defined by Linux) as the media and device are
inseparable.  When a card is removed, the whole device is removed from the
system and never sits in a media-less state.

This stops some nasty udev device creation/destruction loops.

Further, once this change is made, there is no need for ide to can be
removed from ide_drive_t.

[PATCH] Revert ide softirq handling

2006-01-12T20:00:47+00:00

There's a problem with the REQ_BLOCK_PC handling as well (bad ->data_len
handling) where it could actually complete a request ahead of time.  I
suggest we just back this out for now, I will resubmit it later when I'm
fully confident in it.

This reverts commit 8672d57138b34447719cd7749f3d21070e1175a1

[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to completion: IDE ->gendev_rel_sem

2006-01-09T23:59:27+00:00

The patch changes semaphores that are initialized as
locked to complete().

Source: MontaVista Software, Inc.

Modified-by: Steven Rostedt 

The following patch is from Montavista.  I modified it slightly.
Semaphores are currently being used where it makes more sense for
completions.  This patch corrects that.

[IDE] Use the block layer deferred softirq request completion

2006-01-09T15:03:35+00:00

This patch makes IDE use the new blk_complete_request() interface.
There's still room for improvement, as __ide_end_request() really
could drop the lock after getting HWGROUP->rq (why does it need to
hold it in the first place? If ->rq access isn't serialized, we are
screwed anyways).

[PATCH] ide: fix kmalloc_node breakage in ide driver

2005-08-04T20:00:53+00:00

Patch fixes oops caused by ide interfaces not on pci.  pcibus_to_node
causes the kernel to crash otherwise.  Patch also adds a BUG_ON to check if
hwif is NULL.

[PATCH] NUMA aware block device control structure allocation

2005-06-23T16:45:09+00:00

Patch to allocate the control structures for for ide devices on the node of
the device itself (for NUMA systems).  The patch depends on the Slab API
change patch by Manfred and me (in mm) and the pcidev_to_node patch that I
posted today.

Does some realignment too.

[PATCH] timeout at boottime with NEC3500A (and possibly others) when inserted a CD in it

2005-05-26T13:47:35+00:00

From: Marcello Maggioni 

Problem: Some drives (NEC 3500, TDK 1616N, Mad-dog MD-16XDVD9, RICOH
MP5163DA, Memorex DVD9 drive and IO-DATA's too for sure), if a
CD/DVD is inserted into the tray when the system is booted and if
before the OS bootup the BIOS checked for the presence of a bootable
CD/DVD into the drive, during the IDE probe phase the drive may
result busy and remain so for the next 25/30 seconds . This cause the
drive to be skipped during the booting phase and not begin usable
until the next reboot (if the reboot goes well and the drive doesn't
timeout again).

Solution: Rising the timeout time from 10 seconds to 35 seconds
(during these 35 seconds every drive should wake up for sure
according to the tests I've done).
