Hello, Bartlomiej.

I've been looking at the pata-2.6 patches and use-ide_pio_bytes patch contains the following snippet.

void ide_init_pc(struct ide_atapi_pc *pc)

  {
	 memset(pc, 0, sizeof(*pc));
 @@ -351,6 +308,9 @@ static ide_startstop_t ide_pc_intr(ide_d
			 pc->xferred = pc->req_xfer;
			 if (drive->pc_update_buffers)
				 drive->pc_update_buffers(drive, pc);
 +
 +			if (drive->media == ide_floppy)
 +				ide_complete_rq(drive, 0, blk_rq_bytes(rq));
		 }
		 debug_log("%s: DMA finished\n", drive->name);
	 }

It completes ide_floppy requests in the DMA handling block; however, those requests are gonna be completed again later in the regular completion path again. I think the above part can be simply dropped?

Thanks.

I'm not sure I get it -- could you point me to the other completion path?

#1 completely completes the request after which it shouldn't be accessed, but rq is accessed afterwards and #2 or #3 will be called on the rq again. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Thanks for explanation.

[ IIRC "1:" was always there but in the form of partial completions loop
inside ->pc_update_buffers callback... ]

It seems like we really should remove "1:" but it would be best to retest ide-floppy with this change. Borislav, could you add this to your queue?

Thanks,
Bart
