Subject: 2.4.1: DMA gets disabled due to irq timeout

Hi,

I was trying 2.4.1 kernel but under some IO load (bonnie++)
DMA gets disabled with following messages:

hda: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success

I am wondering is there known way how to fix (workaround) this problem?

May it be because of ServerWorks chipset (support for ServerWorks was
compiled in)? or SMP?

Here is except from dmesg:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
ServerWorks OSB4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 79

hda: 60046560 sectors (30744 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=3737/255/63, UDMA(33)

I will appreciate your help,

Me too, same messages...

>DMA gets disabled with following messages:

hda: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14

my dmesg:

hda: 11733120 sectors (6007 MB) w/384KiB Cache, CHS=730/255/63, UDMA(33)

an other chipset but the same problem...
There are more ide_dma_timeout problems known with other chipsets.
It seems to be an chipset independent problem, it exits also in 2.4.0,
(see http://boudicca.tux.org/hypermail/linux-kernel/2001week02/1429.html)
and in 2.4.1-ac9.

Are any fixes known?
