I'm currently debugging some problems with SATA on ipr and figured I would give a heads up. The problems include overlength errors and data corruption. Basically SATA on ipr is completely broken in its current state. >From what I have found so far, it looks like due to some libata changes made recently, qc->nbytes is no longer getting setup for ATAPI devices all the time.
Jeff - should qc->nbytes be used a libata user? If not, what is the proper way to determine the total command length in bytes? Summing all the sg entries? I was using nbytes + pad_len. The other oddity I've been seeing is that I am getting zero length commands, such as TEST_UNIT_READY with a dma_dir of DMA_FROM_DEVICE. Shouldn't this be DMA_NONE? I'm still tracking this down.
