SubjectSecond Thought (Re: Re[2]: Small error?? in IDE dma processing?)

First lets run some system crashes...........(which I did)....even worse!!

Then look at the ATA/ATAPI-4 spec T13-1153D Revision 17 30-Oct-97 page 234,
again. The flow charts on DMA procedure to my reading again (not late at
night in a dimly lit room at 1am).
Both branches of the test 0IEN=0 :

At test DEVICE: nIEN=0 ?

No -> Host : Read of Status register is recommended.
NOTE : Status register is read to clear pending interrupt.
END

Yes -> Device : Assert INTRQ
Host : Read Status register
Device : Negate INTRQ
END


wait for device to issue interrupt request
then first read the status ***
then clear the interrupt

***
It is not all clear if this is refering to DMA or Drive Status; however,
it is reasonable to assume that it is DMA first.

Like the original code.

A closer look at 29055002.pdf (intel), 29765804.pdf (intel),
d1153r17.pdf, and some source code on loan from HighPoint Tech.
(a public branch of Triton).

I now think the original code is correct.
Note that I will test this question more objectively on a drive that
doesn't have some non-correctable error accounting.
(forgot to bad block check and mark the drive first, duh....)

Have you switched the code and tested it youself yet?

If this is the correct solution, yes. I am now not convinced that it is
the correct answer. The follow up docs on the PIIX/PIIX3 have a DMA
BusMaster bit order corrections, also.
