IDE: Make taskfile interface more robust wrt unexpected end-of-command
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE
rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also
emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command
model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl
rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls).

In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the
more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did.  It allows
commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we
thought we had for them.

This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART
commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his
machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the
command had completed.
