Hi!
I've played a bit with my "mirror" machine
- 200MHz Pentium-MMX
- 64MB RAM
- jbglaw@mirror:~$ cat /proc/ide/hd*/model
WDC AC2850F # System drive
IC35L040AVER07-0 # \
IC35L120AVV207-0 # > Storage (with DM/LVM)
Maxtor 4W100H6 # /
- jbglaw@mirror:~$ lspci |grep IDE
00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
- Linux v2.5.73
- <*> Intel PIIXn chipsets support
Basically, if I enable Taskfile I/O, the box refuses to boot (basically,
the first drive sounds really broken like "clack clack clack" and no
data comes off the drive so there's no partition table, no root FS, but
a panic:) Is anybody interested in nailing this bug down?
Disabling Taskfile lets me boot the box, but hdc doesn't like TCQ and
gives errors:
ide_tcq_intr_timeout: timeout waiting for service interrupt
ide_tcq_intr_timeout: missing isr!
hdc: invalidating tag queue (0 commands)
hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

The "clack clack clack" went away is if had never been there... So - thanks a lot for looking at my problem. Please feed your patch to Linus as it seems to actually solve (at least my) problems. However, allow me to ask why this occured never bevore (for other people)? Do they all have only one drive? Does nobody use TCQ?

I knew that it was, erm, brave to use it at some time (this box isn't really important - if I kill its filesystems, I'll simply re-install and recover my mirror scripts:) , but new, where 2.5.x starts to be really useable, I'd suggest to face users with upcoming problems: CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO It is safe to say Y to this question, in most cases. (By the way, exactly which cases are ment?) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ If you have such a drive, say Y here. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ_DEFAULT Generally say Y here. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ_DEPTH You probably just want the default of 32 here. (Default queue depth is 8, not 32...) Right now, I'm building 2.5.73-bk3 + your 2nd patch.

IMO the best rule is "enable TCQ if and only if 100% of the channel supports TCQ". So, two drives on the same channel can do TCQ, if and only if they both support TCQ. That's a big benefit of bus release, after all, simultaneously servicing multiple drives. The device-select and service interrupt semantics are annoying but doable.

I don't blame you ;-) I plan to write the devsel code, but for my ata-scsi driver... :/ It will go into libata, which I would love to have sharing code with drivers/ide...

While I was the one who initially had the "trouble", I was thankful for having a "Switch It On by Default" option. I don't exactly know what the patch did to the IDE subsystem (personally I'm not really into IDE...), but I'd unhide a problem (either my dumb drive/controller setup or a bug in Linux' IDE code) and so - one more bug down (at least from my point of view). That's a good thing, IMHO. This *is* why I'm using 2.5.x - there's actually a chance to easily find bugs with everybody's hardware:) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw jbglaw@lug-owl.de . +49-172-7608481 "Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf | Gegen Zensur | Gegen Krieg fuer einen Freien Staat voll Freier Bürger" | im Internet! | im Irak! ret = do_actions((curr | FREE_SPEECH) & ~(IRAQ_WAR_2 | DRM | TCPA)); [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 189 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 23+ messages in thread

No, I didn't. We're in 2.5.x timeline and doing early testing (esp. with "exotic" or rarely used features) is IMHO best done at early times. THis is why I did it. For now, I don't exactly care for pure stability _if_ a user can easily choose really dangerous code, esp. if it's advised as experimental, but "you should say yes" in it's help text. This is, I like to compile with many features to see where it breaks. Not doing this means to walk through a mines field later, at 2.6.x times. That is playing minesweeper with some poor end user. No good... MfG, JBG Btw., that patch got merged to Linus and I'm currently running 2.5.73-bk6 with TF and TCQ enabled (in config, but gets somewhat disabled because of missing hardware of too many drives per channel) on a laptop and my (quite a bit loaded) mirror box.
