Hi, I was looking at your patch:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/21/132
Very small, which is nice.
I was wondering if there were any interest in my own efforts in that direction:
http://dedasys.com/freesoftware/patches/blkdev_wakeup.patch
which is far more intrusive, and perhaps isn't good kernel programming style, but, on the other hand, is the optimal solution in terms of boot time because it wakes up the boot process right when the device comes on line.
Since I saw your patch included, it looks like there is interest in this, and I'd toot my own horn once more before just leaving my patch to the bit rot of the ages...
Thanks!
As simple as it may be, it's a bit of a shame that we actually need rootdelay as its something that the kernel should do automatically. At the time when we last discussed it, we didn't come up with a better (and safe) way to handle it, but I don't think we considered anything like your implementation.
I've CC'd a few people who were involved the last time around to see if they have any input for you.
