From: Ingo Molnar The lock validator triggered a number of bugs in the floppy driver, all related to the floppy driver allocating and freeing irq and dma resources from interrupt context. The initial solution was to use schedule_work() to push this into process context, but this caused further problems: for example the current floppy driver in -mm2 is totally broken and all floppy commands time out with an error. (as reported by Barry K. Nathan) This patch tries another solution: simply get rid of all that dynamic IRQ and DMA allocation/freeing. I doubt it made much sense back in the heydays of floppies (if two devices raced for DMA or IRQ resources then we didnt handle those cases too gracefully anyway), and today it makes near zero sense. So the new code does the simplest and most straightforward thing: allocate IRQ and DMA resources at module init time, and free them at module removal time. Dont try to release while the driver is operational. This, besides making the floppy driver functional again has an added bonus, floppy IRQ stats are finally persistent and visible in /proc/interrupts: 6: 63 XT-PIC-level floppy Besides normal floppy IO i have also tested IO error handling, motor-off timeouts, etc. - and everything seems to be working fine.
