Re: [PATCH] [MMC] Use own work queue

Hi,

The MMC layer uses the standard work queue for doing card detection. As
this queue is shared with other crucial subsystems, the effects of a long
(and perhaps buggy) detection can cause the system to be unusable. E.g. the
keyboard stops working while the detection routine is running.

The solution is to add a specific mmc work queue to run the detection code
in. This is similar to how other subsystems handle detection (a full
kernel thread is the most common theme).

This patch makes pxamci stop working for me on a HTC Magician (PXA272).
Switching from 2.6.18 to 2.6.19-rc1 I got a kernel panic:

mmc0: clock 0Hz busmode 1 powermode 0 cs 0  Vdd 0 width 0
PXAMCI: clkrt = 0 cmdat = 0
VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

After removing this patch from 2.6.19-rc1, everything is working again.
Are there any changes to pxamci.c needed to be compatible with it?

regards
Philipp
