From 159a7ff7a13f9a02c75006f40c0561a3a81aefcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gwendal Grignou Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:44:00 -0700 Subject: sata_mv: Prevent PIO commands to be defered too long if traffic in progress. Use excl_link when non NCQ commands are defered, to be sure they are processed as soon as outstanding commands are completed. It prevents some commands to be defered indifinitely when using a port multiplier.
