From 5e5c74a5e11d1e2a99d03132cc6c4455016db6c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Hancock Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 18:42:30 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commands This patch appears to solve some problems with commands timing out in cases where an NCQ command is immediately followed by a non-NCQ command (or possibly vice versa). This is a rather ugly solution, but until we know more about why this is needed, this is about all we can do.
