[PATCH 2/3] Don't change transfer speed while requests are in flight

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use ide_wait_cmd() in ide_config_drive_speed() if the drive has been
initialized and we're not in an interrupt, to avoid changing the
xfer speed while requests are in flight.

An easy way to trigger the problem is to dd the disk while doing
while :; do hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc> /dev/null; done

While there, remove some commented-out code.
