kernel history of ide performance

Hi ide team, i often heard uh, since kernel 2.6.bla the ide perfomance is soo bad. Because of that (and the joy of writing bash scripts noone else will understand *g*) i wrote an automated test script to get comparable measurements. The script compiles 2.6.0-2.6.11.6 (yes | make oldconfig),

I tried this patch: http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/2.4.30-pre3-libata1.patch.gz But no joy, I'm curious in that I do not see explicit support for the 3124 controller within the patch. The patch did work against the 3112 device with this patch. -robb On Tue,

RE: Silicon Image 3124 SATA driver

Sorry, I forgot that the driver for the SiI3124 hasn't been integrated into the libata tree since it's still a very rough driver. A driver was posted to the list a while back, I presume, since a reply (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-idem=62382831171w=2) is on the list archives, but

[PATCH 2.6.11.6] ide-scsi: kmap scatter/gather before doing PIO

The system can panic with a null pointer dereference using ide-scsi if PIO is being done on scatter gather pages that are in high memory, because page_address() returns 0. We are actually seeing this using a tape drive. This patch will kmap_atomic() the pages before performing PIO. I'm copying
