Hmmm... the port interrupt handler checks for IDLE before calling into
hsm_move, so the only explanation would be that something is resetting
it to IDLE inbetween. ce7514526742 ("libata: prevent HSM state change
race between ISR and PIO") describes and fixes the same problem. The
fix seems correct and I can't find anywhere else where this can
happen. :(
Can you please post the kernel log leading to the BUG? Also, I don't
think that condition needs to be BUG. I'll change it to WARN.
Thanks.
