Andrey,
Can you please update your patch to unlock io_request_lock before sleeping
and locking after coming back?
While testing an older driver on an -RT kernel (currently using

The driver was triggering a "sleeping function called from invalid
context" BUG(). It was coming from a case where the driver was doing

Update libata's SMART-related ioctl handlers to match the current
ATA command pass-through specification (T10/04-262r7). Also change
related SCSI op-code definition to match current spec.
