[ Upstream commit b845f66f78bf42a4ce98e5cfe0e94fab41dd0742 ] Carlo Pisani noticed that his C3600 workstation behaved unstable during heavy I/O on the PCI bus with a VIA VT6421 IDE/SATA PCI card. To avoid such instability, this patch switches the LBA PCI bus from Hard Fail mode into Soft Fail mode. In this mode the bus will return -1UL for timed out MMIO transactions, which is exactly how the x86 (and most other architectures) PCI busses behave. This patch is based on a proposal by Grant Grundler and Kyle McMartin 10 years ago: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-parisc/msg01027.html Cc: Carlo Pisani <carlojpisani@gmail.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler <grantgrundler@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
