To mark power management requests. 2. To mark requests that should preempt another request. An (old) explanation of that feature is as follows: "The IDE driver in the Linux kernel normally uses a series of busywait delays during its initialization. When the driver executes these busywaits, the kernel does nothing for the duration of the wait. The time spent in these waits could be used for other initialization activities, if they could be run concurrently with these waits. More specifically, busywait-style delays such as udelay() in module init functions inhibit kernel preemption because the Big Kernel Lock is held, while yielding APIs such as schedule_timeout() allow preemption. This is true because the kernel handles the BKL specially and releases and reacquires it across reschedules allowed by the current thread. This IDE-preempt specification requires that the driver eliminate these busywaits and replace them with a mechanism that allows other work to proceed while the IDE driver is initializing." Since I haven't found an implementation of (2), do not set the PREEMPT flag for sense requests. This patch causes sense requests to be postponed while a drive is suspended instead of being submitted to ide_queue_rq(). If it would ever be necessary to restore the IDE PREEMPT functionality, that can be done by introducing a new flag in struct ide_request. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Hannes Reinecke Cc: David S.
