2007-10-30libata: implement and use ATA_QCFLAG_QUIETTejun Heo
Implement ATA_QCFLAG_QUIET which indicates that there's no need to report if the command fails with AC_ERR_DEV and set it for passthrough commands. Combined with previous changes, this now makes device errors for all direct commands reported directly to the issuer without going through EH actions and reporting. Note that EH is still invoked after non-IO device errors to determine the nature of the error and resume command execution (some controller requires special care after error to continue). It just performs default maintenance after error, examines what's going on, realizes that it's none of its business and reports the command failure without logging any error messages.

2007-10-30libata: stop being overjealous about non-IO commandsTejun Heo
libata EH always revalidated device and retried failed command after error except for ATAPI CCs. This is unnecessary and hinders with users issuing direct commands. This patch makes the following changes. * Make sata_sil24 not request ATA_EH_REVALIDATE on device errors. sil24 is the only driver which does this. All others let libata EH core code decide. * Don't request revalidation after device error of non-IO command. Revalidation doesn't really help anybody. As ATA_EH_REVALIDATE isn't set by default, there's no reason to clear it after sense data is read. Kill ATA_EH_REVALIDATE clearing code while at it. * Don't retry non-IO command after device error. Device has rejected the command. There's no point in retrying. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-10-30libata: flush is an IO commandTejun Heo
ATA_QCFLAG_IO is used to mark commands which are used to perform regluar IO transfers via block layer. These commands are assumed to be valid and taken more seriously during error handling. Cache flush is used by regular IO path and necessary for data integrity. Mark it with ATA_QCFLAG_IO. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-10-30sata_promise: ASIC PRD table bug workaround, take 2Mikael Pettersson
Second-generation Promise SATA controllers have an ASIC bug which can trigger if the last PRD entry is larger than 164 bytes, resulting in intermittent errors and possible data corruption. Work around this by replacing calls to ata_qc_prep() with a private version that fills the PRD, checks the size of the last entry, and if necessary splits it to avoid the bug. Also reduce sg_tablesize by 1 to accommodate the new entry. Tested on the second-generation SATA300 TX4 and SATA300 TX2plus, and the first-generation PDC20378. Thanks to Alexander Sabourenkov for verifying the bug by studying the vendor driver, and for writing the initial patch upon which this one is based.

2007-10-29[libata] AHCI: add hw link power management supportKristen Carlson Accardi
This patch will set the correct bits to turn on Aggressive Link Power Management (ALPM) for the ahci driver. This will cause the controller and disk to negotiate a lower power state for the link when there is no activity (see the AHCI 1.x spec for details). This feature is mutually exclusive with Hot Plug, so when ALPM is enabled, Hot Plug is disabled. ALPM will be enabled by default, but it is settable via the scsi host syfs interface. Possible settings for this feature are: Setting Effect ---------------------------------------------------------- min_power ALPM is enabled, and link set to enter lowest power state (SLUMBER) when idle Hot plug not allowed. max_performance ALPM is disabled, Hot Plug is allowed medium_power ALPM is enabled, and link set to enter second lowest power state (PARTIAL) when idle. Hot plug not allowed. Signed-off-by: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2007-10-29[libata] Link power management infrastructureKristen Carlson Accardi
Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it. This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link power management policy to "min_power". Additionally, libata drivers can define a function (enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to enable whatever power management policy the user set up for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM). This power management policy will be activated after all disks have been enumerated and intialized. Drivers should also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power management, but not change link power management policy. Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional information. Signed-off-by: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2007-10-29libata: relocate forcing PIO0 on resetTejun Heo
Forcing PIO0 on reset was done inside ata_bus_softreset(), which is a bit out of place as it should be applied to all resets - hard, soft and implementation which don't use ata_bus_softreset(). Relocate it such that... * For new EH, it's done in ata_eh_reset() before calling prereset. * For old EH, it's done before calling ap->ops->phy_reset() in ata_bus_probe(). This makes PIO0 forced after all resets. Another difference is that reset itself is done after PIO0 is forced.

2007-10-29libata: implement ata_wait_after_reset()Tejun Heo
On certain device/controller combination, 0xff status is asserted after reset and doesn't get cleared during 150ms post-reset wait. As 0xff status is interpreted as no device (for good reasons), this can lead to misdetection on such cases. This patch implements ata_wait_after_reset() which replaces the 150ms sleep and waits upto ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff. ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT is currently 800ms which is enough for HHD424020F7SV00 to get detected but not enough for Quantum GoVault drive which is known to take upto 2s. Without parallel probing, spending 2s on 0xff port would incur too much delay on ata_piix's which use 0xff to indicate empty port and doesn't have SCR register, so GoVault needs to wait till parallel probing.

2007-10-29libata: track SLEEP state and issue SRST to wake it upTejun Heo
ATA devices in SLEEP mode don't respond to any commands. SRST is necessary to wake it up. Till now, when a command is issued to a device in SLEEP mode, the command times out, which makes EH reset the device and retry the command after that, causing a long delay. This patch makes libata track SLEEP state and issue SRST automatically if a command is about to be issued to a device in SLEEP.

2007-10-29libata: relocate and fix post-command processingTejun Heo
Some commands need post-processing after successful completion. This was done in ata_scsi_qc_complete() till now but this has the following problems. * Post-command processing gets executed when qc is completed from EH. Some qc's are retried from EH with zero err_mask and thus triggers unnecessary/incorrect post-command processing. * Command post processing doesn't belong to SAT layer. * Link-wide revalidation was scheduled where device revalidation suffices. This patch moves post-command processing to success completion path of ata_qc_complete() which is travelled iff the command is going to be completed without passing through EH and updates post-command processing such that device-specific action is used. While at it, restructure code a bit for readability. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-10-25ahci: ahci: implement workaround for ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe ↵Tejun Heo
ahci_broken_hardreset(), take #2 P5W-DH Deluxe has ICH9 which doesn't have PMP support but SIMG 4726 hardwired to the second port of AHCI controller at PCI device 1f.2. The 4726 doesn't work as PMP but as a storage processor which can do hardware RAID on downstream ports. When no device is attached to the downstream port of the 4726, pseudo ATA device for configuration appears. Unfortunately, ATA emulation on the device is very lousy and causes long hang during boot. This patch implements workaround for the board. If the mainboard is P5W-DH Deluxe (matched using DMI), only hardreset is used on the second port of AHCI controller @ 1f.2 and the hardreset doesn't depend on receiving the first FIS and just proceed to IDENTIFY.

2007-10-25libata: cosmetic clean up in ata_eh_reset()Tejun Heo
Local variable @action usage in ata_eh_reset() is a bit confusing. It's used only to cache ehc->i.action to test reset masks after clearing it; however, due to the generic name "action", it's easy to misinterpret the local variable as containing the selected reset method later. Also, the reason for caching the original value is easy to miss. This patch renames @action to @tmp_action and make it buffer newly selected value instead to improve readability.

2007-10-18[libata] kill ata_sg_is_last()Jeff Garzik
Short term, this works around a bug introduced by early sg-chaining work. Long term, removing this function eliminates a branch from a hot path loop in each scatter/gather table build. Also, as this code demonstrates, we don't need to _track_ the end of the s/g list, as long as we mark it in some way. And doing so programatically is nice. So its a useful cleanup, regardless of its short term effects. Based conceptually on a quick patch by Jens Axboe. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2007-10-16remove blk_queue_max_phys_segments in libataFUJITA Tomonori
LIBATA_MAX_PRD is the maximum number of DMA scatter/gather elements permitted by the HBA's DMA engine. It's properly set to q->max_hw_segments via the sg_tablesize parameter. libata shouldn't call blk_queue_max_phys_segments. Now LIBATA_MAX_PRD is equal to SCSI_MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS by default (both is 128), so everything is fine. But if they are changed, some code (like the scsi mid layer, sg chaining, etc) might not work properly. (Addition from Jens) The basic issue is that the physical segment setting is purely a driver issue. And since SCSI is managing the sglist, libata has no business changing the setting. All libata should care about is the hw segment setting. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
