sata_nv: complain on spurious completion notifiers
PATCH 1/1 sata_nv: complain on spurious completion notifiers
Recently Tejun wrote a patch to ahci.c to make it raise a HSM violation if the drive attempted to complete a tag that wasn't outstanding. We could run into the same problem with sata_nv ADMA. This adds code to raise a HSM violation error if the controller gives us a notifier tag that isn't outstanding, since the drive may be issuing spurious completions.
