With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't
necessary anymore. If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata
warns. If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does
the right thing. Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown
by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

As with all other drivers, sata_nv's hpriv is allocated with
devm_kzalloc() and there's no need to free it explicitly. Kill
nv_remove_one() which incorrectly used kfree() instead of devm_kfree()
and use ata_pci_remove_one() directly.
Original fix is from Peer Chen.

Our assumption that most distros issue STANDBYNOW seems wrong. The
upstream sysvinit and thus many distros including gentoo and opensuse
don't take any action for libata disks on spindown. We can skip
compat handling for these distros so that they don't need to update
anything to take advantage of kernel-side shutdown.

Unlocking ap->lock and ssleeping don't work because SCSI commands can
be issued from completion path without context. Reimplement delayed
completion by allowing translation functions to override
qc->scsidone(), storing the original completion function to
scmd->scsi_done() and overriding qc->scsidone() with a function which
schedules delayed invocation of scmd->scsi_done().
This isn't pretty at all but all the ugly parts are thankfully
contained in the stop translation path where the compat feature is
implemented.

Whether a controller needs IDE or SATA ACPI hierarchy is determined by
the programming interface of the controller not by whether the
controller is SATA or PATA, or it supports slave device or not. This
patch adds ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA port flags which tells libata-acpi that
the port needs SATA ACPI nodes, and sets the flag for ahci and
sata_sil24.

Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or
(later) ACPI _GTF. Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors
before turning off HPA. The cached original size is overwritten if
the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always
happens after configuring trasnfer mode. If the device gets hardreset
for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV.
This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check
from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is
fully configured. No matter what happens during configuration, a
device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be
treated as the same device.

Separate out ata_dev_reread_id() from ata_dev_revalidate().
ata_dev_reread_id() reads IDENTIFY page and determines whether the
same device is still there. ata_dev_revalidate() reconfigures after
reread completes. This will be used by ACPI update.

I have a system where I have a simple IDE controller that sits on a
local bus without bus master dma capability, and thus no dma_mapping
ops defined for the device/bus.
pata_platform works great for me, with the exception of using the generic
ata_port_start which tries to do a dmam_alloc_coherent.
Looks like it doesn't need to allocate a prd table at all, so replace it
with a dummy function instead.

libata enables SCSI host during ATA host activation which happens
after IRQ handler is registered and IRQ is enabled. All ATA ports are
in frozen state when IRQ is enabled but frozen ports may raise limited
number of IRQs after being frozen - IOW, ->freeze() is not responsible
for clearing pending IRQs. During normal operation, the IRQ handler
is responsible for clearing spurious IRQs on frozen ports and it
usually doesn't require any extra code.
Unfortunately, during host initialization, the IRQ handler can end up
scheduling EH for a port whose SCSI host isn't initialized yet. This
results in OOPS in the SCSI midlayer. This is relatively short window
and scheduling EH for probing is the first thing libata does after
initialization, so ignoring EH scheduling until initialization is
complete solves the problem nicely.
This problem was spotted by Berck E. Nash in the following thread.

The intention of using port_mask in SFF init helpers was to eventually
support exoctic configurations such as combination of legacy and
native port on the same controller. This never became actually
necessary and the related code always has been subtly broken one way
or the other. Now that new init model is in place, there is no reason
to make common helpers capable of handling all corner cases. Exotic
cases can simply dealt within LLDs as necessary.
This patch removes port_mask handling in SFF init helpers. SFF init
helpers don't take n_ports argument and interpret it into port_mask
anymore. All information is carried via port_info. n_ports argument
is dropped and always two ports are allocated. LLD can tell SFF to
skip certain port by marking it dummy. Note that SFF code has been
treating unuvailable ports this way for a long time until recent
breakage fix from Linus and is consistent with how other drivers
handle with unavailable ports.
This fixes 1-port legacy host handling still broken after the recent
native mode fix and simplifies SFF init logic. The following changes
are made...
* ata_pci_init_native_host() and ata_init_legacy_host() both now try
to initialized whatever they can and mark failed ports dummy. They
return 0 if any port is successfully initialized.
* ata_pci_prepare_native_host() and ata_pci_init_one() now doesn't
take n_ports argument. All info should be specified via port_info
array. Always two ports are allocated.
* ata_pci_init_bmdma() exported to be used by LLDs in exotic cases.
* port_info handling in all LLDs are standardized - all port_info
arrays are const stack variable named ppi. Unless the second port
is different from the first, its port_info is specified as NULL
(tells libata that it's identical to the last non-NULL port_info).
* pata_hpt37x/hpt3x2n: don't modify static variable directly. Make an
on-stack copy instead as ata_piix does.
* pata_uli: It has 4 ports instead of 2. Don't use
ata_pci_prepare_native_host(). Allocate the host explicitly and use
init helpers. It's simple enough.

Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
this double spinning down causes problem.
This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that
libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).
shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on
SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks
currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
dangerous data integrity-wise.
So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.
* Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
exists. If it does, write 0 to it.
* For each libata harddisk {
* Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
down as before.
}
The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
it.
To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by
hours of tireless usability testing).

Reimplement suspend/resume support using sdev->manage_start_stop.
* Device suspend/resume is now SCSI layer's responsibility and the
code is simplified a lot.
* DPM is dropped. This also simplifies code a lot. Suspend/resume
status is port-wide now.
* ata_scsi_device_suspend/resume() and ata_dev_ready() removed.
* Resume now has to wait for disk to spin up before proceeding. I
couldn't find easy way out as libata is in EH waiting for the
disk to be ready and sd is waiting for EH to complete to issue
START_STOP.
* sdev->manage_start_stop is set to 1 in ata_scsi_slave_config().
This fixes spindown on shutdown and suspend-to-disk.

This patch fixes some problems with ADMA-capable controllers with
regard to freeze, thaw and irq_clear libata callbacks. Freeze and
thaw didn't switch the ADMA-specific interrupts on or off, and more
critically the irq_clear function didn't respect the restriction that
the notifier clear registers for both ports have to be written at
the same time even when only one port is being cleared. This could
result in timeouts on one port when error handling (i.e. as a result
of hotplug) occurred on the other port.
As well, this fixes some issues in the interrupt handler: we shouldn't
check any ADMA status if the port has ADMA switched off because of
an ATAPI device, and it also checks to see if any ADMA interrupt has
been raised even when we are in port-register mode.

There is a known problem with sata_promise on SATAII-150/300 TX4
controller cards: it enumerates drives in an order that differs
from the port numbers printed on the controller cards. However,
Promise's BIOS and Linux driver both get the order right.
I investigated Promise's Linux driver (v1.01.0.23), and found
that it explicitly changes the mapping from logical port number
to ATA engine MMIO address on the SATAII TX4 cards. It does this
on all SATAII TX4 cards, without inspecting revision etc. The
SATAII TX2plus cards continue to use the same mapping that was
used for the first-generation chips.
This patch updates sata_promise to use the new port number to
ATA engine mapping on SATAII TX4 cards, which fixes the drive
enumeration order problem on those cards. Tested on several
1st and 2nd generation TX2plus and TX4 chips.

The sata_promise error decode update changed pdc_host_intr()
to return and not complete the qc after detecting an error.
Unfortunately not completing the qc:s causes them to always
time out on error, which is wrong and has nasty side-effects.
This patch updates pdc_error_intr() to call ata_port_abort(),
similar to ahci and sata_sil24. Doing this is important as it
makes EH see the original error and not a bogus timeout.

libata previously depended upon waits in prereset to get resets after
hotplug right for both spin up and device ready wait. This was
necessary both for reliablity and speed as reset was likely to fail if
initiated too early and each try usually took more than 30secs to
fail. Previous patches fixed the reliability part by fixing status
and SCR handling in resets. This patch remedies the speed part by
improving reset sequencing.
Prereset waiting timeout is adjusted to 10s because spinup wait is
replaced by reset sequencing and !BSY wait is not as important as
before. During boot or module loading where the drive is already
fully spun up, !BSY wait succeeds immediately, so 10s should be enough
in most cases. It matters after hotplugging or other error
conditions, but in those cases, !BSY wait in prereset simply can't be
relied upon due to the varied and weird behaviors ATA controllers and
devices show.
Reset is now driven by ata_eh_reset_timeouts[] table which contains
timeouts for each reset try. The first reset can be softreset but the
following ones are always hardreset if available. Each timeout
defines deadline for the reset try. If a reset try fails, reset is
retried with the next timeout till the end of the timeout table is
reached. If a reset try fails before the timeout with error, libata
waits till the deadline of the failed try before retrying.
IOW, the timeout table defines timetable of reset tries such that the
n'th try always begins at least after the sum of all previous timeouts
has passed. The current timetable defines 4 tries and takes around 1
minute.
@0 : First try. This should succeed most of the time during boot.
@10 : 10s is enough to spin up most consumer harddrives. Give it
another shot.
@20 : 20s should spin up > 99% of working drives. This has 30s
timeout for retarded devices needing long idleness post reset.
@55 : Final try with 5s timeout just in case.
The above timetable is trade off between not annoying the device too
much with frequent resets and taking reasonable amount of time in most
cases. Some controllers may do better with shorter timeouts while
others may fare better with longer but we just can't rely upon LLD
writers to test each controller with wide variety of devices using
various scenarios. We need default behavior which reasonably fits
most cases.
I've tested the above timetable on a dozen SATA controllers and a few
PATA controllers with about a dozen different drives from all major
vendors and 4 different ODDs from three different vendors for both
boot and hotplug (if available) cases.
Boot probing is not affected unless the device is broken in which
cases new code gives up on the port after a minute rather than five or
nine minutes. When hotplugging, most devices get detected on the
first or second try. Multi-platter drives with long spin up time
which sometimes took > 40 secs with the original code, now usually
comes up during the second try and at least right after the third try
@20.

This patch updates ata_std_prereset() as follows.
* Don't fail on phy resume failure. Just whine and continue. Failure
from prereset makes libata abort whole reset sequence and give up
the port, so prereset() should be best effort. This is more
important with the coming EH updates as prereset() will be called
with shorter timeout.
* If ata_wait_ready() fails, whine and request hardreset instead.
