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.

Add @deadline to prereset and reset methods and make them honor it.
ata_wait_ready() which directly takes @deadline is implemented to be
used as the wait function. This patch is in preparation for EH timing
improvements.
* ata_wait_ready() never does busy sleep. It's only used from EH and
no wait in EH is that urgent. This function also prints 'be
patient' message automatically after 5 secs of waiting if more than
3 secs is remaining till deadline.
* ata_bus_post_reset() now fails with error code if any of its wait
fails. This is important because earlier reset tries will have
shorter timeout than the spec requires. If a device fails to
respond before the short timeout, reset should be retried with
longer timeout rather than silently ignoring the device.
There are three behavior differences.
1. Timeout is applied to both devices at once, not separately. This
is more consistent with what the spec says.
2. When a device passes devchk but fails to become ready before
deadline. Previouly, post_reset would just succeed and let
device classification remove the device. New code fails the
reset thus causing reset retry. After a few times, EH will give
up disabling the port.
3. When slave device passes devchk but fails to become accessible
(TF-wise) after reset. Original code disables dev1 after 30s
timeout and continues as if the device doesn't exist, while the
patched code fails reset. When this happens, new code fails
reset on whole port rather than proceeding with only the primary
device.
If the failing device is suffering transient problems, new code
retries reset which is a better behavior. If the failing device is
actually broken, the net effect is identical to it, but not to the
other device sharing the channel. In the previous code, reset would
have succeeded after 30s thus detecting the working one. In the new
code, reset fails and whole port gets disabled. IMO, it's a
pathological case anyway (broken device sharing bus with working
one) and doesn't really matter.
* ata_bus_softreset() is changed to return error code from
ata_bus_post_reset(). It used to return 0 unconditionally.
* Spin up waiting is to be removed and not converted to honor
deadline.
* To be on the safe side, deadline is set to 40s for the time being.

These will be used to convert LLDs to new init model.
* Add irq_handler field to port_info. In new init model, requesting
IRQ is LLD's responsibility and libata doesn't need to know about
irq_handler. Most LLDs can simply register their irq_handler but
some need different irq_handler depending on specific chip. The
added port_info->irq_handler field can be used by LLDs to select
the matching IRQ handler in such cases.
* Add ata_dummy_port_info.

Reorganize ata_host_alloc() and its subroutines into the following
three functions.
* ata_host_alloc() : allocates host and its ports. shost is not
registered automatically.
* ata_scsi_add_hosts() : allocates and adds shosts associated with an
ATA host. Used by ata_host_register().
* ata_host_register() : takes a fully initialized ata_host structure
and registers it to libata layer and probes it.
Only ata_host_alloc() and ata_host_register() are exported.
ata_device_add() is rewritten using the above functions. This patch
does not introduce any observable behavior change. Things worth
mentioning.
* print_id is assigned at registration time and LLDs are allowed to
overallocate ports and reduce host->n_ports during initialization.
ata_host_register() will throw away unused ports automatically.
* All SCSI host initialization stuff now resides in
ata_scsi_add_hosts() in libata-scsi.c, where it should be.

The READ/WRITE LONG commands are theoretically obsolete,
but the majority of drives in existance still implement them.
The WRITE_LONG and WRITE_LONG_ONCE commands are of particular
interest for fault injection testing -- eg. creating "media errors"
at specific locations on a disk.
The fussy bit is that these commands require a non-standard

2.6.21-rc has horrible problems with libata and PATA cable types (and
thus speeds). This occurs because Tejun fixed a pile of other bugs and
we now do cable detect enforcement for drive side detection properly.
Unfortunately we don't do the process around cable detection right. Tejun
identified the problem and pointed to the right Annex in the spec, this patch
implements the rest of the needed changes.
We add a ->cable_detect() method called after the identify
sequence which allows a host to do host side detection at this point
should it wish, or to modify the results of the drive side identify.
This separate ->cable_detect method also cleans up a lot of code because
many drivers have their own error_handler methods which really just set
the cable type.
If there is no ->cable_detect method the cable type is left alone so a
driver setting it earlier (eg because it has the SATA flags set or
because it uses the old error_handler approach) will still do the right
thing (or at least the same thing) as before.
This patch simply adds the cable_detect method and helpers it doesn't use
them but other follow up patches will (ie Adrian please don't submit
patches to unexport them ;))

claim to be simplex.
The fix is fairly simple, instead of keeping a flag to remember if we
gave away the simplex channel we remember the actual owner. As the owner
is always part of the host_set we don't even need a refcount.
Knowing the owner also means we can reassign simplex DMA channels in

ata_port has two different id fields - id and port_no. id is
system-wide 1-based unique id for the port while port_no is 0-based
host-wide port number. The former is primarily used to identify the
ATA port to the user in printk messages while the latter is used in
various places in libata core and LLDs to index the port inside the
host.
The two fields feel quite similar and sometimes ap->id is used in
place of ap->port_no, which is very difficult to spot. This patch
renames ap->id to ap->print_id to reduce the possibility of such bugs.
Some printk messages are adjusted such that id string (ata%u[.%u])
isn't printed twice and/or to use ata_*_printk() instead of hardcoded
id format.

The current EH speed down code is more of a proof that the EH
framework is capable of adjusting transfer speed in response to error.
This patch puts some intelligence into EH speed down sequence. The
rules are..
* If there have been more than three timeout, HSM violation or
unclassified DEV errors for known supported commands during last 10
mins, NCQ is turned off.
* If there have been more than three timeout or HSM violation for known
supported command, transfer mode is slowed down. If DMA is active,
it is first slowered by one grade (e.g. UDMA133->100). If that
doesn't help, it's slowered to 40c limit (UDMA33). If PIO is
active, it's slowered by one grade first. If that doesn't help,
PIO0 is forced. Note that this rule does not change transfer mode.
DMA is never degraded into PIO by this rule.
* If there have been more than ten ATA bus, timeout, HSM violation or
unclassified device errors for known supported commands && speeding
down DMA mode didn't help, the device is forced into PIO mode. Note
that this rule is considered only for PATA devices and is pretty
difficult to trigger.
One error can only trigger one rule at a time. After a rule is
triggered, error history is cleared such that the next speed down
happens only after some number of errors are accumulated. This makes
sense because now speed down is done in bigger stride.

libata didn't used to init qc->dma_dir to any specific value on qc
initialization and command translation path didn't set qc->dma_dir if
the command doesn't need data transfer. This made non-data commands
to have random qc->dma_dir.
This usually doesn't cause problem because LLDs usually check
qc->protocol first and look at qc->dma_dir iff the command needs data
transfer but this doesn't hold for all LLDs.
It might be worthwhile to rename qc->dma_dir to qc->data_dir as we use
the field to tag data direction for both PIO and DMA protocols.

libata switched to IRQ-driven IDENTIFY when IRQ-driven PIO was
introduced. This has caused a lot of problems including device
misdetection and phantom device.
ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING was added recently to selectively use polling
IDENTIFY on problemetic drivers but many controllers and devices are
affected by this problem and trying to adding ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING
for each such case is diffcult and not very rewarding.
This patch makes libata always use polling IDENTIFY. This is
consistent with libata's original behavior and drivers/ide's behavior.

HSM_ST_UNKNOWN is not used anywhere. Its value is zero and supposed
to serve sanity check purpose but HSM_ST_IDLE is used for that
purpose. This unused state causes confusion. After a port is
initialized but before the first command is executed, the idle hsm
state is UNKNOWN. However, once a command has completed, the idle hsm
state is IDLE. This defeats sanity check in ata_pio_task() for the
first command.
This patch removes HSM_ST_UNKNOWN and consequently make HSM_ST_IDLE
the default state.

On some controllers (ICHs in piix mode), there is *NO* reliable way to
determine device presence other than issuing IDENTIFY and see how the
transaction proceeds by watching the TF status register.
libata acted this way before irq-pio and phantom devices caused very
little problem but now that IDENTIFY is performed using IRQ drive PIO,
such phantom devices now result in multiple 30sec timeouts during
boot.
This patch implements ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING. If a LLD sets this
flag, libata core issues the initial IDENTIFY in polling mode and if
the initial data transfer fails w/ HSM violation, the port is
considered to be empty thus replicating the old libata and IDE
behavior.
