[PATCH] IDE CD end-of media error fix
This is a patch from Alan that fixes a real ide-cd.c regression causing bogus "Media Check" failures for perfectly valid Fedora install ISOs, on certain CD-ROM drives. This is a forward port to 2.6.16 (from RHEL) of the minimal changes for the end of media problem. It may not be sufficient for some controllers (promise notably) and it does not touch the locking so the error path locking is as horked as in mainstream. From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> I have ported the patch to 2.6.17-rc4 and tested it by provoking end-of-media IO errors with an unaligned ISO image. Unlike the vanilla kernel, the patched kernel interpreted the error condition correctly with 512 byte granularity: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ATAPI device hdc: Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05) Illegal mode for this track or incompatible medium -- (asc=0x64, ascq=0x00) The failed "Read 10" packet command was: "28 00 00 04 fb 78 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306080 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163260 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163261 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163262 the unpatched kernel produces an incorrect error dump: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306080 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163260 hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306088 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163261 hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1306096 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 163262 I do not have the right type of CD-ROM drive to reproduce the end-of-media data corruption bug myself, but this same patch in RHEL solved it.
