From 99cf610aa4840d822cdc67d194b23b55010ca9bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:31:32 +0900 Subject: libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs. dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs to remain persistent over multiple porbing events. This patch achieves this by doing the following. * Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only clear between BEGIN and END. ering is moved after END. The split of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head. * ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device attach succeeds. So, ering is persistent throug a device's life time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection of the next one.
