Hi,
The following patch makes IDE pio and multi mode work again. Changes:
- Properly map in requests, nr_sectors hack was very wrong (me)
- Fix pio interrupt handlers to handle requests properly (me)
- Fix task_mulout_intr to handle requests in chunks of
current_nr_sectors, regardless of set multi count. This both makes it
work, but also ensures we do not have to fall back to same hackish
'copy-of-rq' approach that 2.4 uses. It comes at the cost of handling
fs block size number of sectors at the time instead of max multi
count, but I think this is a price worth paying. It's miniscule
anyway. (me)
- Fix task_mulin_intr to properly loop and handle as many sectors as we
set up (multi count or nr_sectors, whichever is smallest) (me)
- Fix wrong isr for multi mode enable, caused hdparm hang (Andre)
- ide-disk.c:do_rw_disk() had wrong check of rq flags, couldn't catch
anything (either the bit is set or not, checking both makes no sense).
Check for fs request there instead. (me)
- ide_dma_timeout_retry(), set correct next current_nr_sectors and only
for bio request. (me)
- ll_rw_blk, blk_dump_rq_flags wasn't properly adjusted for new IDE
flag (me)

Yeah you are right, typo... There's another mixup in there too, but only
a very minor race. I'll update the patch asap.

That should be: pBuf = ide_map_buffer(rq, &flags);
But I think it actually ought to be:
pBuf = ide_map_rq(rq, &flags)
and the below unmap should consequently be:
ide_unmap_rq(rq, pBuf, &flags)
In either case it's wrong at the moment AFAICS...

BTW, should have mentioned that this code doesn't trigger right now
anyways so it's only a source bug, not a binary one.

Since the bug was cosmetic only, I won't include it here. Find the
updated version:

I haven't seen any status reports, so here is a heads up: it works on my
SMP machine, both with and without taskfile enabled. Good job.

Oh, OK -- 2.5.3-pre1 doesn't have Configure.help entries ;)
But I think Anton sent them, so hopefully we will see them.
I guess the configure option just enables the ioctl, then, eh? Gotcha.

Well, good work to both of you. It is an excellent driver. Please
submit it for pre2.
FYI, I am having no problems with the above and preempt-kernel, which
I've heard reported otherwise. If it works with preemption and SMP ...

This kernel is totally ACB-IO or Taskfile Driven, the Config.in Option is
to allow user-space access for diagnostics, forensics and OEM feature
sets.
You have to give Jens the credit for gluing it togather, because there was
no way I would have figured out the suttle issues of BIO. There are
serveral additions need to fix all the archs so hope to have something
today.

Yes I sent them to Linus.

Yup.

I second that. 2.5.3-pre1 + 2nd patch from Jens + daft compile fixes is
running fine on my Athlon/VIA chipset both UDMA100 and PIO4 on my 60GXP
drive! Brilliant work guys!
There is only one odd thing and that is that PIO transfers are slower in
2.5.3-pre1 + 2nd patch from Jens + daft compile fixes compared to in
2.5.2-pre11-vanilla.
PIO mode, hdparm -t /dev/hda:
on 2.5.3-pre1 + 2nd Jens patch: 4.62MB/s
on 2.5.2-pre11 vanilla: 7.36MB/s
DMA transfers are the same with both kernels, peaking at 38-39MB/s which is
I believe the theoretical upper limit for the 60GXP so there was not much
room for visible improvement (2.5.3-pre1 is slightly faster in that it gave
in three tests 38.79MB/s while 2.5.2-pre11 gave in three tests 38.32MB/s,
so if you believe those ACB is .4 MB/s faster).
I don't care that PIO has become slower, all modern devices are happy with
UDMA, and so am I. (-: But I thought I should mention it.
Note that 2.5.3-pre1 now survives find . -type f -exec md5sum "{}" \; both
in PIO and UDMA mode so it can really be considered stable on UP system.
Best regards,
Anton

Interesting, I dunno where this performance decrease comes from right
now. But I'm sure we can make it go at least as fast as 2.5.2-pre11, the
primary concern right now was solid PIO + mult mode again, and I think
we've achieved that.

Great, thanks for testing.
