libata-dev.git clean up and branch status
libata-dev.git was left a bit grotty when I went on vacation. That has now been fixed. The current branches are:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git
master Always vanilla Linus tree
ALL Always the "exported for testing" meta-branch
(currently == upstream + sil680-mmio + mv-ahci)
upstream queued for 2.6.23
Parent: master
mv-ahci Marvell 6121/6141 AHCI clone SATA support
Parent: upstream
Status: Works, once NCQ & PCI MSI are disabled.
Turn these off, then can go up.
mv-ahci-pata Marvell 6121/6141 AHCI clone PATA support
Parent: mv-ahci
Status: Need to update for proper use of PATA
controller commands (provides direct access to PATA device shadow registers)
mv-eh sata_mv (50xx/60xx) conversion to new EH
Parent: upstream
Status: Required for hotplug, NCQ, etc. Working, but
currently NCQ disks fail (even if NCQ not used)
new-eh pdc_adma, sata_qstor, sata_sx4 conversion to new EH
Parent: upstream
Status: All conversions complete...
and completely untested.
sii-lbt sata_sil Large [DMA] Block Transfer support
Parent: upstream
Status: Useful, but reported to fail in some cases
sil680-mmio pata_sil680 MMIO support
Parent: upstream
Status: dissolved into some argument about MMIO flushing
Quoted 3 lines
sil680-mmio
pata_sil680MMIO support
Parent: upstream
Status: dissolved into some argument about MMIO flushing
I thought we had figured out what needed sorting ?
Quoted 5 lines
mv-ahci-pata Marvell 6121/6141 AHCI clone PATA support
Parent: mv-ahci
Status: Need to update for proper use of PATA
controller commands (provides direct access to PATA device shadow registers)
What is the status on this - we've now had the regression where you can't use all of a marvell chip for over 6 months ?
