1999-06-25 Thread Anonymous
Nine'th update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver: The atapi subsystem has gotten better error handeling and timeouts, it also tries a REQUEST SENSE command when devices returns errors, to give a little more info as to what went wrong. It might be a little verbose for now, but I'm interested in as muc

Changing the semantics of splsoftclock()

1999-06-25 Thread Anonymous
I've come across several instances where I need to fiddle with state that is also touched by a timeout handler. From a naming standpoint, splsoftclock() sounds like the correct spl routine to use for protecting these activities. Unfortunately this only holds true if splsoftclock() is used in a p
