Sorry, I don't understand this last paragraph. I don't see how it's more simple with two devices (vs three) if we don't exactly know which device caused the error. I thought one still needed to reset/restart both devices. Is that correct? The devices operate asyncronously from the drivers. Only the driver can tell us for sure if IO was in flight for a particular device and decide that a device could NOT have generated an error. Otherwise, so far, the patches look fine to me. thanks, grant - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
