This patch is an implementation of hotswap on the sata_promise module, tested on SATA150 and SATAII150 Promise controllers. It depends on patch 01 from this series of patches to apply, and both 01 and 02 in order to compile. We handle hotplug interrupts and call our new API functions in

CIFS slowness & crashes

I mailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the guy who wrote the driver) about this a month ago, but didn't get any reply. Is anyone working on that driver anymore? The problems that I wrote him about were: 1. CIFS VFS hangs entirely if the server crashes or otherwise goes offline. Every process touching the

[PATCH 1/3] Add disk hotswap support to libata

2005-07-21 Thread Lukasz Kosewski
This patch changes the sata_promise driver in libata to correctly mask out hotplug interrupts. The location of the primary hotplug registers in the SATA150 Tx4/Tx2 Plus controllers is correctly defined as '0x6C', HOWEVER, for the SATAII150 Tx4/Tx2 Plus controllers, this changes to '0x60'.

[PATCH 2/3] Add disk hotswap support to libata

2005-07-21 Thread Lukasz Kosewski
This patch is probably the most contentious one; adding a hotswap framework to libata to allow it to handle disk plugs/unplugs. The design goals for this framework were as follows: - easy, stable API. - simplicity of design and code - as damn near as we can get to a guarantee that we will NOT

Hey all, introductory blurb here. This sequence of patches will add a framework to libata to allow for hot-swapping disks in and out. There are three patches: 01-promise_sataII150_support 02-libata_hotswap_infrastructure 03-promise_hotswap_support The rationale for each will be described in
