2009-03-24ahci: drop intx manipulation on msi enableTejun Heo
There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable. This is automatically handled by pci. Drop it. This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during boot. However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix. Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever disables IRQ for the controller. However, as this change has slight possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-03-24pata-rb532-cf: drop custom freeze and thawPhil Sutter
I'm not quite sure what freezing and thawing is used for. Tests showed that the port is being frozen at initialisation state and thawed right afterwards, then the functions were not called anymore. Dropping the complete custom code for handling the frozen state seems to work at least for a standard use case including mounting a partition, copying some files in it (in parallel) and finally removing them and unmounting the partition.

2009-03-24pata-rb532-cf: use ata_sff_data_xfer32()Phil Sutter
The biggest difference between rb532_pata_data_xfer() and ata_sff_data_xfer32() is the call to ata_sff_pause() at the end of rb532_pata_data_xfer() which I suppose to be unnecessary since it works without. I've also tested using ata_sff_data_xfer() as replacement, but since we know that the driver supports 32bit IO, using the optimised version should be safe.

2009-03-13ata_piix: add workaround for Samsung DB-P70Tejun Heo
Samsung DB-P70 somehow botched the first ICH9 SATA port. The board doesn't expose the first port but somehow SStatus reports link online while failing SRST protocol leading to repeated probe failures and thus long boot delay. Because the BIOS doesn't carry any identifying DMI information, the port can't be blacklisted safely. Fortunately, the controller does have subsystem vendor and ID set. It's unclear whether the subsystem IDs are used only for the board but it can be safely worked around by disabling SIDPR access and just using SRST works around the problem. Even when the workaround is triggered on an unaffected board the only side effect will be missing SCR access.

2009-03-13libata: Keep shadow last_ctl up to date during resetsStuart MENEFY
libata keeps a shadow copy of the ATA CTL register (which is write only), and only writes to the hardware when the required value doesn't match the shadow. However this copy wasn't being maintained when performing reset functions. This could cause problems for the first operation after a reset when the correct value might not be written to the CTL register. This problem was observed when hotplugging a drive: the identify command was being issued with interrupts enabled, when they should have been disabled.

2009-03-05libata: Don't trust current capacity values in identify words 57-58Robert Hancock
Hanno Böck reported a problem where an old Conner CP30254 240MB hard drive was reported as 1.1TB in capacity by libata: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/13/134 This was caused by libata trusting the drive's reported current capacity in sectors in identify words 57 and 58 if the drive does not support LBA and the current CHS translation values appear valid. Unfortunately it seems older ATA specs were vague about what this field should contain and a number of drives used values with wrong byte order or that were totally bogus. There's no unique information that it conveys and so we can just calculate the number of sectors from the reported current CHS values. While we're at it, clean up this function to use named constants for the identify word values. Signed-off-by: Robert Hancock <hancockrwd@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-03-05libata: make sure port is thawed when skipping resetsTejun Heo
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.

2009-02-25sata_mv: fix SoC interrupt breakageMark Lord
For some reason, sata_mv doesn't clear interrupt status during init when it's running on an SoC host adapter. If the bootloader has touched the SATA controller before starting Linux, Linux can end up enabling the SATA interrupt with events pending, which will cause the interrupt to be marked as spurious and then be disabled, which then breaks all further accesses to the controller. This patch makes the SoC path clear interrupt status on init like in the non-SoC case.

2009-02-25pata_it821x: resume from hibernation fails with RAID volumeOndrej Zary
Hibernation didn't work for me since I started to use IT8212 controller. I did some debugging (booting with no_console_suspend init=/bin/sh). Found that resume fails (2.6.28) with "serial number mismatch 'some garbage' != 'some other garbage'" and "revalidation failed" messages. That's because the controller firmware fills different serial number in the IDENTIFY every boot. The patch below fixes the resume simply clearing the serial number. The proper fix would be probably to fill in the serial number of the RAID volume instead. I assume that there must be something like that stored on the drives but I don't know where. Fix resume on pata_it821x RAID volume by clearing the serial number in IDENTIFY data, which is otherwise different on each boot.

Commit 871af1210f13966ab911ed2166e4ab2ce775b99d (libata: Add 32bit PIO support) has caused all kinds of errors on the ATAPI devices, so it has been empirically proven that one shouldn't try to read/write an extra data word when a device is not expecting it already. "Don't do it then"; however, still use a chance to do 32-bit read/write one last time when there are exactly 3 trailing bytes. Oh, and stop pointlessly swapping the bytes to and fro on big-endian machines by using io*_rep() accessors which shouldn't byte-swap. This patch should fix the kernel.org bug #12609.

2009-02-02libata: implement HORKAGE_1_5_GBPS and apply it to WD My BookTejun Heo
3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures. It's usually okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission failures and after it only power cycling can revive them. Combined with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender, this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain configurations virtually rendering them unusable. This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified.

2009-02-02libata: improve probe failure handlingTejun Heo
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).

2009-02-02libata: clear dev->ering in smarter wayTejun Heo
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.
