2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Alan Cox Commit 05177f178efe1459d2d0ac05430027ba201889a4 upstream pata_atiixp: Don't disable A couple of distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu) were having weird problems with the ATI IXP series PATA controllers being reported as simplex. At the heart of the problem is that both distros ignored the recommendations to load pata_acpi and ata_generic *AFTER* specific host drivers. The underlying cause however is that if you D3 and then D0 an ATI IXP it helpfully throws away some configuration and won't let you rewrite it. Add checks to ata_generic and pata_acpi to pin ATIIXP devices. Possibly the real answer here is to quirk them and pin them, but right now we can't do that before they've been pcim_enable()'d by a driver. I'm indebted to David Gero for this. His bug report not only reported the problem but identified the cause correctly and he had tested the right values to prove what was going on [If you backport this for 2.6.24 you will need to pull in the 2.6.25 removal of the bogus WARN_ON() in pcim_enagle] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Tested-by: David Gero Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik --- drivers/ata/ata_generic.c | 6 ++++++ drivers/ata/pata_acpi.c | 6 ++++++ 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+) --- a/drivers/ata/ata_generic.c +++ b/drivers/ata/ata_generic.c @@ -193,6 +193,12 @@ static int ata_generic_init_one(struct p if (dev->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_AL) ata_pci_clear_simplex(dev); + if (dev->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI) { + int rc = pcim_enable_device(dev); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + pcim_pin_device(dev); + } return ata_pci_init_one(dev, ppi); } --- a/drivers/ata/pata_acpi.c +++ b/drivers/ata/pata_acpi.c @@ -314,6 +314,12 @@ static int pacpi_init_one (struct pci_de .port_ops = &pacpi_ops, }; const struct ata_port_info *ppi[] = { &info, NULL }; + if (pdev->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI) { + int rc = pcim_enable_device(pdev); + if (rc < 0) + return rc; + pcim_pin_device(pdev); + } return ata_pci_init_one(pdev, ppi); } -- -- 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/
