Hi, This is Ricky. I am finding solution of sil 3512 chip hotswap problem.
I think this doc can help some. But I don't really understand libata very
much.
Can someone help some ideas?..Thanks
I know I should do something in interrupt handler
Look (tonight, over the next few hours in fact) for messages of the
type Add disk hotswap support to libata. I should have some patches
sent in by then.
Hi, Luke
Thanks a lot, I'll keep waiting for the patch sent tonight to test.

Hey Jeff, all,
The following is my latest attempt at re-doing the hotswap patches for
libata hotswapping. This has some positive upsides:
- The patches seem cleaner
- The patches seem more multi-purpose and adaptable for use across all
controllers, not just the Promise ones.
- Jeff is more
Patch 02: Add a hotswap infrastructure to libata
As described in the archives, this patch adds a framework and API to
libata to allow for hotswapping.
This version comes with a debounce timer... exciting!

Patch 03: Have sata_promise use the perfect, flawless API from the
previous patch
As described in the archives, this patch build on patch 02 in the
series to actually allow the sata_promise controller to hotswap. Be
careful, untested!
This version comes with all of Jeff's suggestions
Jeff,
The PIO fixes revised according to the previous reviews.
1/3 pio1.diff:
- Modify the if conditions in __atapi_pio_bytes() to be more robust.
2/3 pio2.diff:
- Add ATA_FLAG_IO_32BIT to libata.h for hosts with 32-bit data register.
- Modify ata_mmio_data_xfer() and ata_pio_data_xfer()
Jeff,
PATCH 3/3:
Sometimes the device returns/needs extra data than expected.
Changes:
- Modify __atapi_pio_bytes() to handle the case when device returns/needs
extra data.
- for read case, discard trailing data from the device
- for write case, padding zero data to the device

Hi,
This is my second post on this issue, in the hopes
that someone can enlighten me, or point me off to the
right resource for this problem.
I can mount my Plextor 712 SA DVD burner read-only,
but I can't mount it read-write. I have an Intel ICH6

Oh, and forget TCQ. It's a completely worthless technology inherited
from PATA,
Agreed.
There are a few controllers where we may -eventually- add TCQ support,
controllers that do 100% of TCQ in hardware. But that's so far down the
priority list, it's below just about
17 matches
