On a timeout call a device specific handler early in the recovery so that
we can complete and process successful commands which timed out due to IRQ
loss or the like rather more elegantly.
[Revised to exclude the timeout handling on a few devices that inherit from
SFF but are not SFF enough to use the default timeout handler]

When SCR access is available and the link is offline, softreset is
skipped as it only wastes time and some controllers don't respond very
well. However, the skip path forgot to thaw the port, which not only
blocks further event notification from the port but also causes
repeated EH invocations on the same event on drivers which rely on
->thaw() to clear events if the IRQ is shared with another device or
port.
This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv
nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR
access. nf2/3 doesn't clear hotplug event mask from the interrupt
handler but relies on ->thaw() to clear them. When the hardreset was
there, the reset action was never skipped and the port was always
thawed but, with the hardreset gone, ->prereset() determines that
there's no need for softreset and both ->softreset() and ->thaw() are
skipped. This leads to stuck hotplug event in the IRQ status register
triggering hotplug event whenever IRQ is delieverd on the same IRQ.
As the controller shares the same IRQ for both ports, this happens on
every IO if one port is occpupied and the other isn't.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the port is thawed on
reset-skip path.
bko#11615 reports this problem.

Let -EAGAIN from EH device handling routines trigger EH retry without
consuming its tries count. This will be used to implement link SPD
horkage which requires hardreset to adjust SPD without affecting other
EH decisions. As it bypasses the forward progress guarantee provided
by the tries count, the requester is responsible for ensuring forward
progress.

When link is flaky at high speed, it isn't uncommon for a device to
repeatedly fail probing sequence early after successfully negotiating
high link speed. This often leads to consecutive hotplug events
without successful probing.
This patch improves libata EH such that it remembers probing trials
and if there have been more than two unsuccessful trials in the past
60 seconds, slows down link speed to 1.5Gbps.
As link speed negotiation is the duty of the PHY layer proper, the
goal of this fallback mechanism is to provide the last resort when
everything else fails, which unfortunately happens not too
infrequently, so no fancy 6->3->1.5 speeding down or highest
successful transmission speed seen kind of logics (yet).

dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in
ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs.
dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
to remain persistent over multiple porbing events. This patch
achieves this by doing the following.
* Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
clear between BEGIN and END. ering is moved after END. The split
of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.
* ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
attach succeeds. So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
of the next one.

ata_port_detach() first made sure EH saw ATA_PFLAG_UNLOADING and then
assumed EH context belongs to it and performed detach operation
itself. However, UNLOADING doesn't disable all of EH and this could

There currently are the following looping constructs.
* __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links
* ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links
* ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices
* ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order
Now there's a need for looping construct which is similar to
__ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host
link. Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following
cleanup.
* Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take
@mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop.
* Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take
looping mode explicitly.
The following iteration modes are implemented.
* ATA_LITER_EDGE : loop over edge links
* ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST : loop over all links, host link first
* ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST : loop over all links, PMP links first
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED : loop over enabled devices
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE : loop over enabled devices in reverse order
* ATA_DITER_ALL : loop over all devices
* ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE : loop over all devices in reverse order
This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops
and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.

ehc->last_reset is used to ensure that resets are not issued too
close to each other. It's initialized to jiffies minus one minute
on EH entry. However, when new links are initialized after PMP is
probed, new links have zero for this timestamp resulting in long wait
depending on the current jiffies.
This patch makes last_set considered iff ATA_EHI_DID_RESET is set, in
which case last_reset is always initialized. As an added precaution,
WARN_ON() is added so that warning is printed if last_reset is
in future.

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.
Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

Resets make ATAPI devices raise UNIT ATTENTION which fails the next
command. As resets can happen asynchronously for unrelated reasons,
this sometimes disrupts innocent users. For example, reading DVD
fails after the system wakes up from suspend or the other device
sharing the channel went through bus error.
Clearing UA has some problems as it might clear UA which the userland
needs to know about. However, UA after resets can only be about the
reset itself and benefits of clearing it overweights cons. Missing UA
can only delay failure to one of the following commands anyway. For
example, timeout while burning is in progress will trigger reset and
reset the device state and probably corrupt the burning run. Although
the userland application won't get the UA, its pending writes will
fail.

On user request (through sysfs), the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with UNLOAD
FEATURE as specified in ATA-7 is issued to the device and processing of
the request queue is stopped thereafter until the specified timeout
expires or user space asks to resume normal operation. This is supposed
to prevent the heads of a hard drive from accidentally crashing onto the
platter when a heavy shock is anticipated (like a falling laptop
expected to hit the floor). In fact, the whole port stops processing
commands until the timeout has expired in order to avoid any resets due
to failed commands on another device.

Explanation taken from the comment of ata_slave_link_init().
In libata, a port contains links and a link contains devices. There
is single host link but if a PMP is attached to it, there can be
multiple fan-out links. On SATA, there's usually a single device
connected to a link but PATA and SATA controllers emulating TF based
interface can have two - master and slave.
However, there are a few controllers which don't fit into this
abstraction too well - SATA controllers which emulate TF interface
with both master and slave devices but also have separate SCR
register sets for each device. These controllers need separate links
for physical link handling (e.g. onlineness, link speed) but should
be treated like a traditional M/S controller for everything else
(e.g. command issue, softreset).
slave_link is libata's way of handling this class of controllers
without impacting core layer too much. For anything other than
physical link handling, the default host link is used for both master
and slave. For physical link handling, separate @ap->slave_link is
used. All dirty details are implemented inside libata core layer.
From LLD's POV, the only difference is that prereset, hardreset and
postreset are called once more for the slave link, so the reset
sequence looks like the following.
prereset(M) -> prereset(S) -> hardreset(M) -> hardreset(S) ->
softreset(M) -> postreset(M) -> postreset(S)
Note that softreset is called only for the master. Softreset resets
both M/S by definition, so SRST on master should handle both (the
standard method will work just fine).
As slave_link excludes PMP support and only code paths which deal with
the attributes of physical link are affected, all the changes are
localized to libata.h, libata-core.c and libata-eh.c.
* ata_is_host_link() updated so that slave_link is considered as host
link too.
* iterator extended to iterate over the slave_link when using the
underbarred version.
* force param handling updated such that devno 16 is mapped to the
slave link/device.
* ata_link_on/offline() updated to return the combined result from
master and slave link. ata_phys_link_on/offline() are the direct
versions.
* EH autopsy and report are performed separately for master slave
links. Reset is udpated to implement the above described reset
sequence.
Except for reset update, most changes are minor, many of them just
modifying dev->link to ata_dev_phys_link(dev) or using phys online
test instead.
After this update, LLDs can take full advantage of per-dev SCR
registers by simply turning on slave link.

As an optimization, follow-up SRST used to be skipped if
classification wasn't requested even when hardreset requested it via
-EAGAIN. However, some hardresets can't wait for device readiness and
skipping SRST can cause timeout or other failures during revalidation.
Always perform follow-up SRST if hardreset returns -EAGAIN. This
makes reset paths more predictable and thus less error-prone.
While at it, move hardreset error checking such that it's done right
after hardreset is finished. This simplifies followup SRST condition
check a bit and makes the reset path easier to modify.

ATA_TMOUT_INTERNAL which was 30secs were used for all internal
commands which is way too long when something goes wrong. This patch
implements command type based stepped timeouts. Different command
types can use different timeouts and each command type can use
different timeout values after timeouts.
ie. the initial timeout is set to a value which should cover most of
the cases but not too long so that run away cases don't delay things
too much. After the first try times out, the second try can use
longer timeout and if that one times out too, it can go for full 30sec
timeout.
IDENTIFYs use 5s - 10s - 30s timeout and all other commands use 5s -
10s timeouts.
This patch significantly cuts down the needed time to handle failure
cases while still allowing libata to work with nut job devices through
retries.

EH retries were delayed by 5 seconds to ensure that resets don't occur
back-to-back. However, this 5 second delay is superflous or excessive
in many cases. For example, after IDENTIFY times out, there's no
reason to wait five more seconds before retrying.
This patch adds ehc->last_reset timestamp and record the timestamp for
the last reset trial or success and uses it to space resets by
ATA_EH_RESET_COOL_DOWN which is 5 secs and removes unconditional 5 sec
sleeps.
As this change makes inter-try waits often shorter and they're
redundant in nature, this patch also removes the "retrying..."
messages.
While at it, convert explicit rounding up division to DIV_ROUND_UP().

libata has been using mix of jiffies and msecs for time druations.
This is getting confusing. As writing sub HZ values in jiffies is
PITA and msecs_to_jiffies() can't be used as initializer, unify unit
for all time durations to msecs. So, durations are in msecs and
deadlines are in jiffies. ata_deadline() is added to compute deadline
from a start time and duration in msecs.
While at it, drop now superflous _msec suffix from arguments and
rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time

No reason to get overzealous about recovered comm and data errors.
Some PHYs habitually sets them w/o no good reason and being draconian

If need ever rises, we might need to add soft PHY error condition, say

Originally, whole reset processing was done while the port is frozen
and SError was cleared during @postreset(). This had two race
conditions. 1: hotplug could occur after reset but before SError is
cleared and libata won't know about it. 2: hotplug could occur after
all the reset is complete but before the port is thawed. As all
events are cleared on thaw, the hotplug event would be lost.
Commit ac371987a81c61c2efbd6931245cdcaf43baad89 kills the first race
by clearing SError during link resume but before link onlineness test.
However, this doesn't fix race #2 and in some cases clearing SError
after SRST is a good idea.
This patch solves this problem by cross checking link onlineness with
classification result after SError is cleared and port is thawed.
Reset is retried if link is online but all devices attached to the
link are unknown. As all devices will be revalidated, this one-way
check is enough to ensure that all devices are detected and
revalidated reliably.
This, luckily, also fixes the cases where host controller returns
bogus status while harddrive is spinning up after hotplug making
classification run before the device sends the first FIS and thus
causes misdetection.
Low level drivers can bypass the logic by setting class explicitly to
ATA_DEV_NONE if ever necessary (currently none requires this).

bmdma, some std, some pci and some none. Unify the naming by...
* SFF functions which are common to both BMDMA and non-BMDMA are
prefixed with ata_sff_.
* SFF functions which are specific to BMDMA are prefixed with
ata_bmdma_.
* SFF functions which are specific to PCI but apply to both BMDMA and
non-BMDMA are prefixed with ata_pci_sff_.
* SFF functions which are specific to PCI and BMDMA are prefixed with
ata_pci_bmdma_.
* Drop generic prefixes from LLD specific routines. For example,
bfin_std_dev_select -> bfin_dev_select.
The following renames are noteworthy.
ata_qc_issue_prot() -> ata_sff_qc_issue()
ata_pci_default_filter() -> ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
ata_dev_try_classify() -> ata_sff_dev_classify()
This rename is in preparation of separating SFF support out of libata
core layer. This patch strictly renames functions and doesn't
introduce any behavior difference.

Currently whether a command should be retried after failure is
determined inside ata_eh_finish(). Add ATA_QCFLAG_RETRY and move the
logic into ata_eh_autopsy(). This makes things clearer and helps
extending retry determination logic.

Currently reset methods are not specified directly in the
ata_port_operations table. If a LLD wants to use custom reset
methods, it should construct and use a error_handler which uses those
reset methods. It's done this way for two reasons.
First, the ops table already contained too many methods and adding
four more of them would noticeably increase the amount of necessary
boilerplate code all over low level drivers.
Second, as ->error_handler uses those reset methods, it can get
confusing. ie. By overriding ->error_handler, those reset ops can be
made useless making layering a bit hazy.
Now that ops table uses inheritance, the first problem doesn't exist
anymore. The second isn't completely solved but is relieved by
providing default values - most drivers can just override what it has
implemented and don't have to concern itself about higher level
callbacks. In fact, there currently is no driver which actually
modifies error handling behavior. Drivers which override
->error_handler just wraps the standard error handler only to prepare
the controller for EH. I don't think making ops layering strict has
any noticeable benefit.
This patch makes ->prereset, ->softreset, ->hardreset, ->postreset and
their PMP counterparts propoer ops. Default ops are provided in the
base ops tables and drivers are converted to override individual reset
methods instead of creating custom error_handler.
* ata_std_error_handler() doesn't use sata_std_hardreset() if SCRs
aren't accessible. sata_promise doesn't need to use separate
error_handlers for PATA and SATA anymore.
* softreset is broken for sata_inic162x and sata_sx4. As libata now
always prefers hardreset, this doesn't really matter but the ops are
forced to NULL using ATA_OP_NULL for documentation purpose.
* pata_hpt374 needs to use different prereset for the first and second
PCI functions. This used to be done by branching from
hpt374_error_handler(). The proper way to do this is to use
separate ops and port_info tables for each function. Converted.

ata_ehi_schedule_probe() was created to hide details of link-resuming
reset magic. Now that all the softreset workarounds are gone,
scheduling probe is very simple - set probe_mask and request RESET.
Kill ata_ehi_schedule_probe() and open code it. This also increases
consistency as ata_ehi_schedule_probe() couldn't cover individual
device probings so they were open-coded even when the helper existed.
While at it, define ATA_ALL_DEVICES as mask of all possible devices on
a link and always use it when requesting probe on link level for
simplicity and consistency. Setting extra bits in the probe_mask
doesn't hurt anybody.

ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK has two functions - promote reset to hardreset if
ATA_LFLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME is set and preventing EH from shortcutting
reset action when probing is requested. The former is gone now and
the latter can easily be achieved by making EH to perform at least one
reset if reset is requested, which also makes more sense than
depending on RESUME_LINK flag.
As ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK was the only EHI reset modifier, this also
kills reset modifier handling.

When both soft and hard resets are available, libata preferred
softreset till now. The logic behind it was to be softer to devices;
however, this doesn't really help much. Rationales for the change:
* BIOS may freeze lock certain things during boot and softreset can't
unlock those. This by itself is okay but during operation PHY event
or other error conditions can trigger hardreset and the device may
end up with different configuration.
For example, after a hardreset, previously unlockable HPA can be
unlocked resulting in different device size and thus revalidation
failure. Similar condition can occur during or after resume.
* Certain ATAPI devices require hardreset to recover after certain
error conditions. On PATA, this is done by issuing the DEVICE RESET
command. On SATA, COMRESET has equivalent effect. The problem is
that DEVICE RESET needs its own execution protocol.
For SFF controllers with bare TF access, it can be easily
implemented but more advanced controllers (e.g. ahci and sata_sil24)
require specialized implementations. Simply using hardreset solves
the problem nicely.
* COMRESET initialization sequence is the norm in SATA land and many
SATA devices don't work properly if only SRST is used. For example,
some PMPs behave this way and libata works around by always issuing
hardreset if the host supports PMP.
Like the above example, libata has developed a number of mechanisms
aiming to promote softreset to hardreset if softreset is not going
to work. This approach is time consuming and error prone.
Also, note that, dependingon how you read the specs, it could be
argued that PMP fan-out ports require COMRESET to start operation.
In fact, all the PMPs on the market except one don't work properly
if COMRESET is not issued to fan-out ports after PMP reset.
* COMRESET is an integral part of SATA connection and any working
device should be able to handle COMRESET properly. After all, it's
the way to signal hardreset during reboot. This is the most used
and recommended (at least by the ahci spec) method of resetting
devices.
So, this patch makes libata prefer hardreset over softreset by making
the following changes.
* Rename ATA_EH_RESET_MASK to ATA_EH_RESET and use it whereever
ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET used to be used. ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET is
now only used to tell prereset whether soft or hard reset will be
issued.
* Strip out now unneeded promote-to-hardreset logics from
ata_eh_reset(), ata_std_prereset(), sata_pmp_std_prereset() and
other places.
