libata: make gtf_filter per-dev

2009-10-06T04:26:27+00:00

Add ->gtf_filter to ata_device and set it to ata_acpi_gtf_filter when
initializing ata_link.  This is to allow quirks which apply different
gtf filters.

libata: add command name parsing for error output

2009-09-01T23:47:20+00:00

This patch improve libata's output for error/notification messages
to allow easier comprehension and debugging:

When ATAPI commands issued through the SCSI layer fail, use SCSI
functions to print the CDB in human-readable form instead of just
dumping out the CDB in hex.

Print out the name of the failed command (as defined by the ATA
specification) in error handling output along with the raw register
contents.

When reporting status of ACPI taskfile commands executed on resume,
also output the names of the commands being executed (or not) in
readable form.

Since the extra data for printing command names increases kernel
size slightly, a config option has been added to allow disabling
command name output (as well as some of the error register parsing)
for those highly sensitive to kernel text size.

libata: add @spd_limit to sata_down_spd_limit()

2009-02-03T04:03:22+00:00

Add @spd_limit to sata_down_spd_limit() so that the caller can specify
the SPD limit it wants.  This parameter doesn't get in the way even
when it's too low.  The closest possible limit is applied.

libata: move ata_dev_disable() to libata-eh.c

2009-02-03T04:03:00+00:00

ata_dev_disable() is about to be more tightly integrated into EH
logic.  Move it to libata-eh.c.

libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patches

2008-11-10T16:04:47+00:00

This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.

 43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c
 e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806
 2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e

Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.

The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands.  Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made.  I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.

So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.

libata: switch to using block layer tagging support

2008-10-23T23:05:26+00:00

libata currently has a pretty dumb ATA_MAX_QUEUE loop for finding
a free tag to use. Instead of fixing that up, convert libata to
using block layer tagging - gets rid of code in libata, and is also
much faster.

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.

libata: implement slave_link

2008-09-29T04:25:28+00:00

Explanation taken from the comment of ata_slave_link_init().

 In libata, a port contains links and a link contains devices.  There
 is single host link but if a PMP is attached to it, there can be
 multiple fan-out links.  On SATA, there's usually a single device
 connected to a link but PATA and SATA controllers emulating TF based
 interface can have two - master and slave.

 However, there are a few controllers which don't fit into this
 abstraction too well - SATA controllers which emulate TF interface
 with both master and slave devices but also have separate SCR
 register sets for each device.  These controllers need separate links
 for physical link handling (e.g. onlineness, link speed) but should
 be treated like a traditional M/S controller for everything else
 (e.g. command issue, softreset).

 slave_link is libata's way of handling this class of controllers
 without impacting core layer too much.  For anything other than
 physical link handling, the default host link is used for both master
 and slave.  For physical link handling, separate @ap->slave_link is
 used.  All dirty details are implemented inside libata core layer.
 From LLD's POV, the only difference is that prereset, hardreset and
 postreset are called once more for the slave link, so the reset
 sequence looks like the following.

 prereset(M) -> prereset(S) -> hardreset(M) -> hardreset(S) ->
 softreset(M) -> postreset(M) -> postreset(S)

 Note that softreset is called only for the master.  Softreset resets
 both M/S by definition, so SRST on master should handle both (the
 standard method will work just fine).

As slave_link excludes PMP support and only code paths which deal with
the attributes of physical link are affected, all the changes are
localized to libata.h, libata-core.c and libata-eh.c.

 * ata_is_host_link() updated so that slave_link is considered as host
   link too.

 * iterator extended to iterate over the slave_link when using the
   underbarred version.

 * force param handling updated such that devno 16 is mapped to the
   slave link/device.

 * ata_link_on/offline() updated to return the combined result from
   master and slave link.  ata_phys_link_on/offline() are the direct
   versions.

 * EH autopsy and report are performed separately for master slave
   links.  Reset is udpated to implement the above described reset
   sequence.

Except for reset update, most changes are minor, many of them just
modifying dev->link to ata_dev_phys_link(dev) or using phys online
test instead.

After this update, LLDs can take full advantage of per-dev SCR
registers by simply turning on slave link.
