I'm very sorry for responding so late to Tejun's concerns but I got bitten by the uaccess bug in recent linux-next discussed on LKML.
@Bart, one isue raised by Tejun actually applies to this ide patch as well. Even though the problem is considerably more complex in the libata case than I had bargained for, we are lucky in the ide case. Still, we need to move prepar_to_wait() to the top of the while loop. Can you please include the following interdiff? It also gets rid of a superfluous variable.
Thanks,
Elias
