Subject: libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=99cf610aa4840d822cdc67d194b23b55010ca9bd;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way

dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in
ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs.
dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
to remain persistent over multiple porbing events.  This patch
achieves this by doing the following.

* Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
  clear between BEGIN and END.  ering is moved after END.  The split
  of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.

* ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
  attach succeeds.  So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
  time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
  inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
  of the next one.
