The one off regression appears far less harmful than a revert. Newly broken ones will be regressions. How many do we fix by the change? On SATA, setting the correct transfer chunk size doesn't seem to fix many. > Tejun - instead of backing out important updates for 2.6.24 we should > just blacklist that specific drive for now and sort it nicely in 2.6.25, > not revert stuff and break everyone elses ATAPI devices. We'll need to blacklist setting transfer chunk size, eek, and let's leave that as the last resort and hope that we find the solution soon. Blacklist takes time to develop and temporary blacklist for just one release doesn't sound like a good idea. -- tejun -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
