[BUG] HDIO_DRIVE_RESET ioctl is buggy

[David Balazic]

linux-2.4.8-ac2 , hdc is an ACER 1208A CD-RW

it is the same for several latest linux versions :

[root@localhost scsireset]# ./idereset /dev/hdc
hdc: DMA disabled
idereset : ioctl succesful
hdc: ide_set_handler: handler not null; old=c0184340, new=e0887354
bug: kernel timer added twice at c0184251.
