Actually, I'm not sure I'd agree on that. Folk want a fix, but nobody (including me!) has sent something that's quite mergeable yet. I think part of the solution may be what someone (Brian?) observed: that growing the mid-layer to handle some of the queue management functions should help, no matter what eventual solution is adopted. That might be as little as providing a default "add to queue" and "take from queue" mechanism and starting to phase it into use in the various master controller drivers. When they use that scheme, it should be easy to splice in alternative queue management policies (notably: "only spi_mmc can access the bus for now") without changing the controller drivers. So it'd be really nice if someone could come up with a patch like that to help get some forward motion ... unless there's a better suggestion for how to move forward? - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
