libata: apply behavioral quirks to sil3826 PMP

2013-08-19T13:38:21+00:00

Fixing support for the Silicon Image 3826 port multiplier, by applying
to it the same quirks applied to the Silicon Image 3726.  Specifically
fixes the repeated timeout/reset process which previously afflicted
the 3726, as described from line 290.  Slightly based on notes from:

libata: skip SRST for all SIMG [34]7x port-multipliers

2013-06-11T07:14:34+00:00

For some reason, a lot of port-multipliers have issues with softreset.
SIMG [34]7x series port-multipliers have been quite erratic in this
regard.  I recall that it was better with some firmware revisions and
the current list of quirks worked fine for a while.  I think it got
worse with later firmwares or maybe my test coverage wasn't good
enough.  Anyways, HPA is reporting that his 3726 setup suffers SRST
failures and then the PMP gets confused and fails to probe the last
port.

The hope was that we try to stick to the standard as much as possible
and soonish the PMPs and their firmwares will improve in quality, so
the quirk list was kept to minimum.  Well, it seems like that's never
gonna happen.

Let's set NO_SRST for all [34]7x PMPs so that whatever remaining
userbase of the device suffer the least.  Maybe we should do the same
for 57xx's but unfortunately I don't have any device left to test and
I'm not even sure 57xx's have ever been made widely available, so
let's leave those alone for now.

libata: migrate ACPI code over to new bindings

2012-06-29T15:38:11+00:00

Now that we have the ability to directly glue the ACPI namespace to the
driver model in libata, we don't need the custom code to handle the same
thing. Remove it and migrate the functions over to the new code.

[libata] Issue SRST to Sil3726 PMP

2011-11-09T06:38:00+00:00

Reenable sending SRST to devices connected behind a Sil3726 PMP.
This allow staggered spinups and handles drives that spins up slowly.

While the drives spin up, the PMP will not accept SRST.
Most controller reissues the reset until the drive is ready, while
some [Sil3124] returns an error.
In ata_eh_error, wait 10s before reset the ATA port and try again.

ide/ata: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE where needed

2011-10-31T23:31:37+00:00

They were getting this implicitly by an include of module.h
from device.h -- but we are going to clean that up and break
that include chain, so include export.h explicitly now.

ata: Convert ata__printk(KERN_ to ata__

2011-07-23T21:57:36+00:00

Saves text by removing nearly duplicated text format strings by
creating ata__printk functions and printf extension %pV.

ata defconfig size shrinks ~5% (~8KB), allyesconfig ~2.5% (~13KB)

Format string duplication comes from:

 #define ata_link_printk(link, lv, fmt, args...) do { \
       if (sata_pmp_attached((link)->ap) || (link)->ap->slave_link)    \
               printk("%sata%u.%02u: "fmt, lv, (link)->ap->print_id,   \
                      (link)->pmp , ##args); \
       else \
               printk("%sata%u: "fmt, lv, (link)->ap->print_id , ##args); \
       } while(0)

Coalesce long formats.

libata-pmp: add support for Thermaltake BlackX Duet esata drive dock

2011-05-20T00:48:59+00:00

Some errors still show up, but the dock works, both drives can be
accessed at the same time

The chip maker and designation is unknown - possibly jmicron JMB350?

libata: implement LPM support for port multipliers

2010-10-22T00:21:04+00:00

Port multipliers can do DIPM on fan-out links fine.  Implement support
for it.  Tested w/ SIMG 57xx and marvell PMPs.  Both the host and
fan-out links enter power save modes nicely.

SIMG 37xx and 47xx report link offline on SStatus causing EH to detach
the devices.  Blacklisted.

[libata] Add ATA transport class

2010-10-22T00:21:03+00:00

This is a scheleton for libata transport class.
All information is read only, exporting information from libata:
- ata_port class: one per ATA port
- ata_link class: one per ATA port or 15 for SATA Port Multiplier
- ata_device class: up to 2 for PATA link, usually one for SATA.

[libata] Disable R_OK (Early ACK) on SII 3726 PMP

2010-05-14T21:08:02+00:00

In 2009, While running "cache read" performance test of drives behind
SII PMP we encountered a "all 5 drives" timeout on more than 30% of the
machines under test.  This patch reduces the rate by a factor of about 70.
Low enough that we didn't care to further investigate the issue.

Performance impact with any sort of "normal" use was ~2%+ CPU and less
than 1% throughput degradation.  Worst case impact (cached read) was
6% IOPS reduction. This is with NCQ off (q=1) but I believe FIS based
switching enabled in the SATA driver.

The patch disables "Early ACK" in the 3726 port multiplier.
"Early ACK" is issued when device sends a FIS to the host (via PMP)
and the PMP sends an ACK immediately back to the device - well before
the host gets the response. Under worst case IOPs load (cached read
test) and more than 2 PMPs connected to a 4-port SATA controller,
I suspect the time to service all of the PMPs is exceeding the PMPs
ability to keep track of outstanding FIS it owes the Host. Reducing
the number of PMPs to 2 (or 1) reduces the frequency by several orders
of magnitude. Kudos to Gwendal for initial debugging of this issue.
[Any errors in the description are mine, not his.]

Patch is currently in production on Google servers.
