Uh, this one escaped me, as schedule() (sleep_on) after cli() is clearly wrong. Btw. what was the reason for this?
I've never tried the IRQ-driven operation so I don't know if that code still works (it certainly used to for the original author some years ago). I think that it should wait until the IRQ from the drive arrives.
I've posted a patch for the cdu31a driver some time ago that removes almost all usage of interruptible_sleep_on() and also {save,restore}_flags() - it uses semaphore instead.
The only remaining code is in sony_sleep() function when using IRQ-driven operation.
See http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/12/18/107 The patch is big because I've messed with the formatting...
I looked at it, and rewrote some of it into smaller patches. If you don't mind, can i send them to you for review and testing?
Thanks. I'll test them. I guess that these smaller patches are more likely to be accepted into mainline.
