[PATCH] libata: implement ata_exec_internal()
This patch implements ata_exec_internal() function which performs libata internal command execution. Previously, this was done by each user by manually initializing a qc, issueing it, waiting for its completion and handling errors. In addition to obvious code factoring, using ata_exec_internal() fixes the following bugs. * qc not freed on issue failure * ap->qactive clearing could race with the next internal command * race between timeout handling and irq * ignoring error condition not represented in tf->status Also, qc & hardware are not accessed anymore once it's completed, making internal commands more conformant with general semantics. ata_exec_internal() also makes it easy to issue internal commands from multiple threads if that becomes necessary. This patch only implements ata_exec_internal(). A following patch will convert all users. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> -- Jeff, all patches have been regenerated against upstream branch as of today. (575ab52) Also, I took out a debug printk from ata_exec_internal (don't know how that one got left there). Other than that, all patches are identical to the previous posting. Thanks. :-) Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
