From: Robert Hancock Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:39:04 +0000 (-0400) Subject: sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commands X-Git-Tag: v2.6.20.5~36 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=83b72f1c7cc4bfdb0958a2c1709c5a17ea10c7dd;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commands sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commands This patch appears to solve some problems with commands timing out in cases where an NCQ command is immediately followed by a non-NCQ command (or possibly vice versa). This is a rather ugly solution, but until we know more about why this is needed, this is about all we can do.
