TCQ in 2.5.46 when sharing channel with non-TCQ drive

TCQ in 2.5.46 when sharing channel with non-TCQ drive

[Petr Vandrovec]

Hi Jens,
  just FYI: I just plugged IBM's IBM-DTLA-307045 as slave to the 
WDC1200JB-00CRA0, and because of I have enabled TCQ in kernel, it 
started using TCQ on IBM (WDC is not TCQ aware). During bootup it reported
'bad special flag: 0x03' on IBM, and later during 'rm -rf /mnt2' (where
/mnt2 is contents of IBM's disk) I got:

Linux version 2.5.46-c985 (root@vana) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #3 SMP Fri Nov 8 22:47:13 CET 2002

Machine is still alive, and seems happy.

Thanks for the raport Petr, I will take a look at it! From the looks of
it, we are not clearing the tcq handler when switching from that drive.
