libata: make sure port is thawed when skipping resets

2009-03-17T00:32:19+00:00

commit d6515e6ff4ad3db4bd5ef2dd4e1026a7aca2482e upstream.

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.

libata: fix EH device failure handling

2009-02-17T17:29:03+00:00

commit d89293abd95bfd7dd9229087d6c30c1464c5ac83 upstream.

The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary
speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd
down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always
zero.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs.
This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection
is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA
devices.

libata: fix last_reset timestamp handling

2008-11-11T08:01:21+00:00

ehc->last_reset is used to ensure that resets are not issued too
close to each other.  It's initialized to jiffies minus one minute
on EH entry.  However, when new links are initialized after PMP is
probed, new links have zero for this timestamp resulting in long wait
depending on the current jiffies.

This patch makes last_set considered iff ATA_EHI_DID_RESET is set, in
which case last_reset is always initialized.  As an added precaution,
WARN_ON() is added so that warning is printed if last_reset is
in future.

This problem is spotted and debugged by Shane Huang.

libata: clear saved xfer_mode and ncq_enabled on device detach

2008-10-28T03:55:40+00:00

libata EH saves xfer_mode and ncq_enabled at start to later set
DUBIOUS_XFER flag if it has changed.  These values need to be cleared
on device detach such that hot device swap doesn't accidentally miss
DUBIOUS_XFER.

libata: fix device iteration bugs

2008-10-28T03:55:12+00:00

There were several places where only enabled devices should be
iterated over but device enabledness wasn't checked.

* IDENTIFY data 40 wire check in cable_is_40wire()
* xfer_mode/ncq_enabled saving in ata_scsi_error()
* DUBIOUS_XFER handling in ata_set_mode()

While at it, reformat comments in cable_is_40wire().

libata: set device class to NONE if phys_offline

2008-10-23T00:42:43+00:00

Reset methods don't have access to phys link status for slave links
and may incorrectly indicate device presence causing unnecessary probe
failures for unoccupied links.  This patch clears device class to NONE
during post-reset processing if phys link is offline.

As on/offlineness semantics is strictly defined and used in multiple
places by the core layer, this won't change behavior for drivers which
don't use slave links.

libata-eh: fix slave link EH action mask handling

2008-10-23T00:40:21+00:00

Slave link action mask is transferred to master link and all the EH
actions are taken by the master link.  ata_eh_about_to_do() and
ata_eh_done() are called with ATA_EH_ALL_ACTIONS to clear the slave
link actions during transfer.  This always sets ATA_PFLAG_RECOVERED
flag causing spurious "EH complete" messages.

Don't set ATA_PFLAG_RECOVERED for slave link actions.

libata: transfer EHI control flags to slave ehc.i

2008-10-23T00:40:19+00:00

ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY and ATA_EHI_QUIET are used to control the behavior
of EH.  As only the master link is visible outside EH, these flags are
set only for the master link although they should also apply to the
slave link, which causes spurious EH messages during probe and
suspend/resume.

This patch transfers those two flags to slave ehc.i before performing
slave autopsy and reporting.

block: unify request timeout handling

2008-10-09T06:56:13+00:00

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.

Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.
