[PATCH] sata_nv: complain on spurious completion notifiers

From: Robert Hancock
Date: Thu Feb 22 2007 - 00:54:54 EST


Recently Tejun wrote a patch to ahci.c to make it raise a HSM violation
if the drive attempted to complete a tag that wasn't outstanding. We could
run into the same problem with sata_nv ADMA. This adds code to raise a HSM
violation error if the controller gives us a notifier tag that isn't
outstanding, since the drive may be issuing spurious completions.
