    [PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated reset · 913759ac

    Michal Miroslaw reported a problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated
    reset while the IDE layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash,
    and provided a rough fix.
    
    This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset state
    and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress.
    
    Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the
    ioctl in question anyway.
