Re: sorted - was: How to add a drive to DMA black list?

I am sure you knew this perfectly well already but just in case it is helpful:

the offending code is in:

drivers/ide/piix.c::piix_dmaproc [starts on line 402 in 2.4.0-test11-pre5]

It calls piix_config_drive_for_dma and only then calls ide_dmaproc.

It is ide_dmaproc that does the good/bad test so obviously it is called too
late.
