[ Upstream commit 86d46fdaa12ae5befc16b8d73fc85a3ca0399ea6 ]
Refactoring of the Atari floppy driver when converting to blk-mq
has broken the state machine in not-so-subtle ways:
finish_fdc() must be called when operations on the floppy device
have completed. This is crucial in order to relase the ST-DMA
lock, which protects against concurrent access to the ST-DMA
controller by other drivers (some DMA related, most just related
to device register access - broken beyond compare, I know).
When rewriting the driver's old do_request() function, the fact
that finish_fdc() was called only when all queued requests had
completed appears to have been overlooked. Instead, the new
request function calls finish_fdc() immediately after the last
request has been queued. finish_fdc() executes a dummy seek after
most requests, and this overwrites the state machine's interrupt
hander that was set up to wait for completion of the read/write
request just prior. To make matters worse, finish_fdc() is called
before device interrupts are re-enabled, making certain that the
read/write interupt is missed.
Shifting the finish_fdc() call into the read/write request
completion handler ensures the driver waits for the request to
actually complete. With a queue depth of 2, we won't see long
request sequences, so calling finish_fdc() unconditionally just
adds a little overhead for the dummy seeks, and keeps the code
simple.
While we're at it, kill ataflop_commit_rqs() which does nothing
but run finish_fdc() unconditionally, again likely wiping out an
in-flight request.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
