Albert, can you review this one? This basically makes the DMA check identical to IDE and drops ATA_HORKAGE_DMA_RW_ONLY. As most checks are done in sr already, all we have to do is 16 bytes alignment test.

The patch looks good. Since the TORiSAN DRD-N216 is the device affected by the patch, I would also notify Vlad (who owns the device) to verify this patch.(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6710) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

... all we have to do is 16 bytes alignment test.

I'm worried that 16-bytes alignment is good enough for old IDE, but not for libata. Under old IDE, the device won't receive random SCSI commands from SCSI mid and sg. However, for ide-scsi and libata, ATAPI devices are faked to look like SCSI devices and are expected to work like real SCSI devices. Maybe we need to limit ATAPI DMA to Read/Write commands unconditionally as done by ide-scsi? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
