Hi,

Just a small question about IDE 96: in __ata_end_request(), we do

        spin_lock_irqsave(ch->lock, flags);

        BUG_ON(!(rq->flags & REQ_STARTED));

Shouldn't we rather flip these two, or much rather move
spin_lock_irqsave() even more down, below

        if (!nr_secs)
                nr_secs = rq->hard_cur_sectors;

since it hasn't got any use to hold a spin lock until the udma_enable &
co.? However, I'd at least move it below the BUG_ON().

                                                        Regards,
                                                        Thunder
