This patch set fixes bugs in the IDE DMA and the IDE ATAPI on operations to save/restore the state.
>From the user point of view this results in IDE timeouts in the guest when the user reads from the DVD like the following: [424332.169229] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [424332.170423] sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] CDB: [424332.171234] Read(10): 28 00 00 00 02 e4 00 00 01 00 [424332.172418] ata1.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:08/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 dma 2048 in res 40/00:02:00:0c:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [424332.174877] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [424337.212099] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [424342.220084] ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset [424342.222700] ata1: soft resetting link [424342.381059] ata1.00: configured for MWDMA2 [424342.383693] ata1: EH complete Another similar nasty effects are possible.
