-/*
- * Many thanks to Lode Leroy <Lode.Leroy@www.ibase.be>, who tested so many
- * ALPHA patches to this driver on an EASYSTOR LS-120 ATAPI floppy drive.
- *
- * Ver 0.1   Oct 17 96   Initial test version, mostly based on ide-tape.c.
- * Ver 0.2   Oct 31 96   Minor changes.
- * Ver 0.3   Dec  2 96   Fixed error recovery bug.
- * Ver 0.4   Jan 26 97   Add support for the HDIO_GETGEO ioctl.
- * Ver 0.5   Feb 21 97   Add partitions support.
- *                       Use the minimum of the LBA and CHS capacities.
- *                       Avoid hwgroup->rq == NULL on the last irq.
- *                       Fix potential null dereferencing with DEBUG_LOG.
- * Ver 0.8   Dec  7 97   Increase irq timeout from 10 to 50 seconds.
- *                       Add media write-protect detection.
- *                       Issue START command only if TEST UNIT READY fails.
- *                       Add work-around for IOMEGA ZIP revision 21.D.
- *                       Remove idefloppy_get_capabilities().
- * Ver 0.9   Jul  4 99   Fix a bug which might have caused the number of
- *                        bytes requested on each interrupt to be zero.
- *                        Thanks to <shanos@es.co.nz> for pointing this out.
- * Ver 0.9.sv Jan 6 01   Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
- *                       Implement low level formatting.  Reimplemented
- *                       IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, since we need the srfp
- *                       bit.  My LS-120 drive barfs on
- *                       IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, but maybe it's just me.
- *                       Compromise by not reporting a failure to get this
- *                       mode page.  Implemented four IOCTLs in order to
- *                       implement formatting.  IOCTls begin with 0x4600,
- *                       0x46 is 'F' as in Format.
- *            Jan 9 01   Userland option to select format verify.
- *                       Added PC_SUPPRESS_ERROR flag - some idefloppy drives
- *                       do not implement IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, and
- *                       return a sense error.  Suppress error reporting in
- *                       this particular case in order to avoid spurious
- *                       errors in syslog.  The culprit is
- *                       idefloppy_get_capability_page(), so move it to
- *                       idefloppy_begin_format() so that it's not used
- *                       unless absolutely necessary.
- *                       If drive does not support format progress indication
- *                       monitor the dsc bit in the status register.
- *                       Also, O_NDELAY on open will allow the device to be
- *                       opened without a disk available.  This can be used to
- *                       open an unformatted disk, or get the device capacity.
- * Ver 0.91  Dec 11 99   Added IOMEGA Clik! drive support by
- *     		   <paul@paulbristow.net>
- * Ver 0.92  Oct 22 00   Paul Bristow became official maintainer for this
- *           		   driver.  Included Powerbook internal zip kludge.
- * Ver 0.93  Oct 24 00   Fixed bugs for Clik! drive
- *                        no disk on insert and disk change now works
- * Ver 0.94  Oct 27 00   Tidied up to remove strstr(Clik) everywhere
- * Ver 0.95  Nov  7 00   Brought across to kernel 2.4
- * Ver 0.96  Jan  7 01   Actually in line with release version of 2.4.0
- *                       including set_bit patch from Rusty Russell
- * Ver 0.97  Jul 22 01   Merge 0.91-0.96 onto 0.9.sv for ac series
- * Ver 0.97.sv Aug 3 01  Backported from 2.4.7-ac3
- * Ver 0.98  Oct 26 01   Split idefloppy_transfer_pc into two pieces to
- *                        fix a lost interrupt problem. It appears the busy
- *                        bit was being deasserted by my IOMEGA ATAPI ZIP 100
- *                        drive before the drive was actually ready.
- * Ver 0.98a Oct 29 01   Expose delay value so we can play.
- * Ver 0.99  Feb 24 02   Remove duplicate code, modify clik! detection code
- *                        to support new PocketZip drives

Documentation/ide/ide-tape.rst

-===============================
-IDE ATAPI streaming tape driver
-===============================
-
-This driver is a part of the Linux ide driver.
-
-The driver, in co-operation with ide.c, basically traverses the
-request-list for the block device interface. The character device
-interface, on the other hand, creates new requests, adds them
-to the request-list of the block device, and waits for their completion.
-
-The block device major and minor numbers are determined from the
-tape's relative position in the ide interfaces, as explained in ide.c.
-
-The character device interface consists of the following devices::
-
-  ht0		major 37, minor 0	first  IDE tape, rewind on close.
-  ht1		major 37, minor 1	second IDE tape, rewind on close.
-  ...
-  nht0		major 37, minor 128	first  IDE tape, no rewind on close.
-  nht1		major 37, minor 129	second IDE tape, no rewind on close.
-  ...
-
-The general magnetic tape commands compatible interface, as defined by
-include/linux/mtio.h, is accessible through the character device.
-
-General ide driver configuration options, such as the interrupt-unmask
-flag, can be configured by issuing an ioctl to the block device interface,
-as any other ide device.
-
-Our own ide-tape ioctl's can be issued to either the block device or
-the character device interface.
-
-Maximal throughput with minimal bus load will usually be achieved in the
-following scenario:
-
-     1.	ide-tape is operating in the pipelined operation mode.
-     2.	No buffering is performed by the user backup program.
-
-Testing was done with a 2 GB CONNER CTMA 4000 IDE ATAPI Streaming Tape Drive.
-
-Here are some words from the first releases of hd.c, which are quoted
-in ide.c and apply here as well:
-
-* Special care is recommended.  Have Fun!
-
-Possible improvements
-=====================
-
-1. Support for the ATAPI overlap protocol.
-
-In order to maximize bus throughput, we currently use the DSC
-overlap method which enables ide.c to service requests from the
-other device while the tape is busy executing a command. The
-DSC overlap method involves polling the tape's status register
-for the DSC bit, and servicing the other device while the tape
-isn't ready.
-
-In the current QIC development standard (December 1995),
-it is recommended that new tape drives will *in addition*
-implement the ATAPI overlap protocol, which is used for the
-same purpose - efficient use of the IDE bus, but is interrupt
-driven and thus has much less CPU overhead.
-
-ATAPI overlap is likely to be supported in most new ATAPI
-devices, including new ATAPI cdroms, and thus provides us
-a method by which we can achieve higher throughput when
-sharing a (fast) ATA-2 disk with any (slow) new ATAPI device.

-===================
-IDE warm-plug HOWTO
-===================
-
-To warm-plug devices on a port 'idex'::
-
-	# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/delete_devices
-
-unplug old device(s) and plug new device(s)::
-
-	# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/scan
-
-done
-
-NOTE: please make sure that partitions are unmounted and that there are
-no other active references to devices before doing "delete_devices" step,
-also do not attempt "scan" step on devices currently in use -- otherwise
-results may be unpredictable and lead to data loss if you're unlucky
