[RFT] major libata update

From: Jeff Garzik
Date: Mon May 15 2006 - 12:59:42 EST


After much development and review, I merged a massive pile of libata
patches from Tejun Heo and Albert Lee. This update contains the
following major libata

CHANGES:
* Rewritten error handling. This is a major piece of work, even
though it will be rarely seen. The new libata EH provides the
foundation for not only improved error handling, but also new features
such as device hotplug or command queueing. (Tejun Heo)

* PIO-based I/O is now IRQ-driven by default, rather than polled
in a kernel thread. The polling path will continue to exist for
controllers that need it, and other special cases. (Albert Lee)

* Core support for command queueing (Jens Axboe, Tejun Heo)

* Support for NCQ-style command queueing (Jens Axboe, Tejun Heo)

* Increase max-sectors dramatically, for LBA48 devices (Tejun Heo?)

* Other minor changes, from myself and others.

IMPACT:
* If all goes well, this update should improve error handling,
solve several outstanding, difficult-to-solve bugs, and provide a good
foundation for adding some nifty features in the future.

TESTING:
* Although most drivers by count received few operational changes, the
common probe path was updated, so all drivers need fresh "yes, it sees
all my disks" regression testing.

* ahci and sata_sil24 were touched a lot, and so need additional
testing.

* sata_sil and ata_piix also need healthy re-testing of all basic
functionality.

FEEDBACK:
* Please CC linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on all emails and bug reports.

MERGE STATUS:
* Barring major problems in testing, will submit during 2.6.18 merge window.
