From 54c38444fad6a99b4b19512f8f0055d69115e69e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Garzik Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 19:13:15 -0400 Subject: [libata] EH: freeze port before aborting commands Call the ->freeze() hook before aborting qc's, because some hardware requires special handling prior to accessing the taskfile registers (for diagnosis/analysis/reset). Most notably, hardware may wish to disable the DMA engine or interrupts in the ->freeze() hook.
