Linus, Andre, all:
Below a tiny patch to ide.c in the handling of the
HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl. It makes sure that the
command goes to the right device.
(The current version obliges user space to keep track
of master/slave, which is inconvenient. Given this
patch I can release some disk utilities without
asking the user to edit the source before using them.)
Andries
[The present code was written by me (except of course
the #ifdef DEBUG part). This patch does not influence
normal disk I/O, only enables special handling of Zip
and Orb disks, or certain disks larger than 32 GB.]
Andre: This HDIO_DRIVE_TASK (a.k.a. HDIO_DRIVE_CMD_AEB)
ioctl is fairly general for the no-data version.
But we also need a version with data. For example,
in some cases the disk, or part of the disk, is locked
using a password.
