<title>[PATCH] Suspend support for libata</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds suspend patch to libata, and ata_piix in particular. For
most low level drivers, they should just need to add the 4 hooks to
work. As I can only test ata_piix, I didn't enable it for more
though.

Suspend support is the single most important feature on a notebook, and
most new notebooks have sata drives. It's quite embarrassing that we
_still_ do not support this. Right now, it's perfectly possible to
suspend the drive in mid-transfer.

All ordered request related stuff delegated to HLD.  Midlayer
now doens't deal with ordered setting or prepare_flush
callback.  sd.c updated to deal with blk_queue_ordered
setting.  Currently, ordered tag isn't used as SCSI midlayer
cannot guarantee request ordering.

scsi_send_eh_cmnd currently uses a semaphore and an overload of eh_timer
to either get a completion for a command for a timeout.
Switch to using a completion and wait_for_completion_timeout to simply
the code and not having to deal with the races ourselves.

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables.  As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

From: 	Alan Stern &lt;stern@rowland.harvard.edu&gt;

This patch (as561) fixes the error handler's thread-exit code.  The
kthread_stop call won't wake the thread from a down_interruptible, so
the patch gets rid of the semaphore and simply does

        set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

Signed-off-by: Alan Stern &lt;stern@rowland.harvard.edu&gt;

Modified to simplify the termination loop and correct the sleep condition.
