Dear LKML,
Sam I have been discussing his patch for formatting 1.44MB floppies in
an LS-120 drive, and we decided to move the discussion out in the open.
One of my concerns is that we don't take the ide-floppy driver in a
different direction to the other removeable media drives.
For Alan Cox,
I have now tried the SAMSUNG VG34323A disk with two other controllers at
home (Promise ATA100 an VIA vt82c686a rev 0x22, both on an ASUS A7V
motherboard), and there are no problems to be found with DMA enabled.
Streaming 10 MB/s without glitches.
However, writing to the SAMSUNG VG34323A disk

In general the others do it raw via scsi commands and sg.
For Alan Cox, could you back out Sam's patch for now. It will be back
soon.
When the new one is sorted.

Trond, did you actually look at how this code works before
you made modifications to my fixes?
xprt_lock serializes sleep/wakeup sequences in the xprt code, so you
cannot remove xprt_lock from the sections where I added holding of
xprt_sock_lock to protect the state of xprt-snd_task. So for

The longs are the biggest problem AFAICS.
long is 64bit on sparc64 and 32bit on sparc32...
Embedding pointers in ioctls is much worse. When this happens we basically
end up duplicating the ioctl parsing code (this code courtesy of jakub's
sharp mind, but it would be nice not to require this

i can't find anyone with plan9 to test,
I'll have a look.
A week ago you sent almost the same patch.
Was there a reason to change __u32 into unsigned long?
