Okay, another quick question.
To fix the io_32bit race problem in ide_taskfile_ioctl() (and later
ide_cmd_ioctl() too), it seems simplest to mark the taskfile with
something like ATA_TFLAG_IO_16BIT flag and use the flag in task_in_intr().
However, ATA_TFLAG_* are used by libata, and I think that, although
sharing hardware constants is good if the hardware is similar, sharing
driver-specific flags isn't such a good idea. So, what do you think?
1. Add ATA_TFLAG_IO_16BIT to ata.h
2. Make ide's own set of task flags, maybe IDE_TFLAG_* (including
IDE_TFLAG_LBA48)
Please add it to <ata.h> (unless Jeff complains loudly),
I have a patch converting ide_task_t to use struct ata_taskfile
(except ->protocol for now).
ACK
