LibPATA code issues / 2.6.16 (previously, 2.6.15.x)

[Justin Piszcz <jpiszcz@lucidpixels.com>]

Yet a new problem, under 2.6.16, when I fill up the disk, smartmontools 
reports this:

Apr 21 14:24:20 p34 smartd[1443]: Device: /dev/sdc, 1 Currently unreadable
(pending) sectors
Apr 21 14:54:20 p34 smartd[1443]: Device: /dev/sdc, 1 Currently unreadable
(pending) sectors
Apr 21 14:54:20 p34 smartd[1443]: Device: /dev/sdc, 1 Offline uncorrectable
sectors

What made it error under 2.6.16?

$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=file.out
dd: writing to `file.out': No space left on device
781118873+0 records in
781118872+0 records out

real    147m53.092s
user    8m1.395s
sys     42m4.500s

Under 2.6.15.x, I did not see this behavior, is this going bad, or?

Thanks,

Justin.
