Subject: libata: limit post SRST nsect/lbal wait to ~100ms
From: Tejun Heo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
After SRST, libata used to wait for nsect/lbal to be set to 1/1 for the
slave device. However, some ATAPI devices don't set nsect/lbal after SRST
and the wait itself isn't too useful as we're gonna wait for !BSY right
after that anyway.
Before reset-seq update, nsect/lbal wait failure used to be ignored and
caused 30sec delay during detection. After reset-seq, all timeouts are
considered error conditions making libata fail to detect such ATAPI
devices.
This patch limits nsect/lbal wait to around 100ms. This should give
acceptable behavior to such ATAPI devices while not disturbing the heavily
used code path too much.
