Patch-ID# 100043-01 Keywords: sun4 panic regs accessed busy xy450 xy451 Synopsis:panic: regs accessed while busy Date: 20-Dec-89 SunOS release: 4.0.3 Bug ID's fixed with this patch: 1029802 Patches which conflict with this patch: 100041 Architectures for which this patch is available: sun4 Obsoleted by: 4.1 Problem description: This panic occurs on high-speed Sun-4 CPU's - the controller cannot set flag bits in the CSR (and let them settle) before the CPU begins polling to see if the bits are set. This leads to a race condition which causes the panic: the status bits are not in the correct state and the CPU will abort just before starting the next data transfer. The patch puts a short delay in the driver in between setting the bits and polling the controller status register.
