2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: clear only affected flags during ata_dev_configure()Tejun Heo
ata_dev_configure() should not clear dynamic device flags determined elsewhere. Lower eight bits are reserved for feature flags, define ATA_DFLAG_CFG_MASK and clear only those bits before configuring device. Without this patch, ATA_DFLAG_PIO gets turned off during revalidation making PIO mode unuseable. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: rename ATA_FLAG_PORT_DISABLED to ATA_FLAG_DISABLEDTejun Heo

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: consider disabled devices in ata_dev_xfermask()Tejun Heo
ata_bus_probe() now marks failed devices properly and leaves meaningful transfer mode masks. This patch makes ata_dev_xfermask() consider disable devices when determining PIO mode to avoid violating device selection timing. While at it, move port-wide resttriction out of device iteration loop and try to make the function look a bit prettier.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: improve ata_bus_probe()Tejun Heo
Improve ata_bus_probe() such that configuration failures are handled better. Each device is given ATA_PROBE_MAX_TRIES chances, but any non-transient error (revalidation failure with -ENODEV, configuration failure with -EINVAL...) disables the device directly. Any IO error results in SATA PHY speed down and ata_set_mode() failure lowers transfer mode. The last try always puts a device into PIO-0. After each failure, the whole port is reset to make sure that the controller and all the devices are in a known and stable state. The reset also applies SATA SPD configuration if necessary.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: implement ata_down_xfermask_limit()Tejun Heo
Implement ata_down_xfermask_limit(). This function manipulates @dev->pio/mwdma/udma_mask such that the next lower transfer mode is selected.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: use SATA speed down in ata_drive_probe_reset()Tejun Heo
Make ata_drive_probe_reset() use SATA SPD configuration. Hardreset will be force if speed renegotiation is necessary. Also, if a hardreset fails, PHY speed is stepped down and hardreset is retried until the lowest speed is reached.

2006-04-02[PATCH] libata: implement ap->sata_spd_limit and helpersTejun Heo
ap->sata_spd_limit contrains SATA PHY speed of the port. It is initialized to the configured value prior to probing thus preserving BIOS configured value. hardreset is responsible for applying SPD limit and sata_std_hardreset() is updated to do that. SATA SPD limit will be used to enhance failure handling during probing and later by EH. This patch also normalizes some comments around affected code.

2006-04-01[PATCH] libata: don't disable devices from ata_set_mode()Tejun Heo
When ata_set_mode() fails on a device, make ata_set_mode() return error code and pointer to the device instead of disabling it directly. This gives more control to higher level driving logic. This patch does not change the end result (configured transfer mode) although it may make libata repeat mode configuration to the peer of a failing device. Later ata_bus_probe() rewrite will make full use of this change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-04-01[PATCH] libata: implement ata_dev_enabled and disabled()Tejun Heo
This patch renames ata_dev_present() to ata_dev_enabled() and adds ata_dev_disabled(). This is to discern the state where a device is present but disabled from not-present state. This disctinction is necessary when configuring transfer mode because device selection timing must not be violated even if a device fails to configure.

2006-03-31[PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

2006-03-29[PATCH] sata_mv: three bug fixesMark Lord
(1) A DMA transfer size of 0x10000 was not being written as 0x0000 in the PRDs. Fixed. (1) The DEV_IRQ interrupt cause bit happens spuriously during EDMA operation, and was not being ignored by the driver. This led to various "drive busy" errors being reported, with associated unpredictable behaviour. Fixed. (2) If a SATA or PCI interrupt was received with no outstanding command, the interrupt handler still attempted to invoke ata_qc_complete(), triggering assert()/BUG_ON() behaviour elsewhere in libata. Fixed. The driver still has issues with confusion after error-recovery, but should now be reliable in the absence of drive errors. I will be looking more into the error-handling bugs next.

2006-03-29[PATCH] libata: Simplex and other mode filtering logicAlan Cox
Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed to suit Jeff) Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode Filter according to simplex state Filter cable in core This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object. Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the older libata-pata patches.

2006-03-29[PATCH] libata: BMDMA handling updatesAlan Cox
This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with a controller following SFF (ie any PATA and early SATA controllers) safely without crashes if there is no BMDMA area or if BMDMA is not assigned by the BIOS for some reason. Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex hardware. A following diff will deal with that. The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.

2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)
