[v2 1/2] libata-eh.c: Introduce new ata port flag for controller which lockup on read log page

flat view

From: Andreas Werner <andreas.werner@men.de>
Date: 2015-12-04 17:15:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: libata subsystem (serial and parallel ata drivers), the rest · Maintainers: Damien Le Moal, Niklas Cassel, Linus Torvalds

Some controller lockup on a ata_read_log_page.
Add new ata port flag ATA_FLAG_NO_LOG_PAGE which can used
to blacklist a controller.

If this flag is set, any attempt to read a log page returns an error
without actually issuing the command.
