And yes, pissed off never worked again since the begin of the hand off of IDE between 2.1.112 and 2.1.122.. Russell, I am in your corner to help fix this. This was an intentional nuke. And I am working offline with Russell, Jakub, and Alan to address the issues. I am very sure that making the new (and documented) interfaces work properly for him is going to be preferred to sticking the flush hacks back in. I say this, because the new interfaces will create a situation where properly written PCI drivers of any type will work for his, and every, platform wrt. DMA issues not just the ones where he happens to sprinkle his dma flush calls into. Later, David S.
