It does, in that the drive reports it on a WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT to user space. (See how we use timeout_sec). > But, because of your first comment, I suppose this patch will never > enter the linux kernel, even if I get the frequency dynamically? Most likely, but its still good to have the patches on the list for people to pull if they need them. - k _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
