[PATCH] libata: fix bug with non-ncq devices

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Fri Oct 24 2008 - 03:22:42 EST


The recent commit 201f1b98822078c808b5e2d379a6ddbfc0a06ee1 to enable
support for block layer tagging in libata was broken for non-NCQ
devices. The block layer initializes the tag field to -1 to detect
invalid uses of a tag, and if the libata devices does NOT support
NCQ, we just used that field to index the internal command list.
So we need to check for -1 first and only use the tag field if
it's valid.
