libata: OCZ Vertex can't do HPA

2009-09-09T03:33:40+00:00

commit 7831387bda72af3059be48d39846d3eb6d8ce2f6 upstream.

OCZ Vertex SSD can't do HPA and not in a usual way.  It reports HPA,
allows unlocking but then fails all IOs which fall in the unlocked
area.  Quirk it so that HPA unlocking is not used for the device.

Reported by Daniel Perup in bnc#522414.

libata: fix follow-up SRST failure path

2009-07-30T21:40:33+00:00

commit fe2c4d018fc6127610fef677e020b3bb41cfaaaf upstream.

ata_eh_reset() was missing error return handling after follow-up SRST
allowing EH to continue the normal probing path after reset failure.
This was discovered while testing new WD 2TB drives which take longer
than 10 secs to spin up and cause the first follow-up SRST to time
out.

pata_netcell: Fix typo

2009-06-08T16:12:28+00:00

The previous patch submission had a I typo I didn't catch but Bartlomiej
noted. Guess this proves the point about any patch being risky late in an rc

[libata] pata_ali: Use IGN_SIMPLEX

2009-06-05T21:10:54+00:00

Some ALi devices report simplex if they have been disabled and re-enabled, and
restoring the byte does not work. Ignore it - the needed supporting logic is
already present for the SATA ULi ports.

ata_piix: Add HP Compaq nc6000 to the broken poweroff list

Add it to the broken poweroff DMI list.

ahci: add warning messages for hp laptops with broken suspend

2009-06-05T18:41:10+00:00

Harddisks on HP dv[4-6] and HDX18 fail to come online after resume on
earlier BIOSen.  Fortunately, HP recently released BIOS updates for
all machines to fix the issue.  Detect old BIOSen, warn the user to
update BIOS on boot and suspend attempts and fail suspend.

Kudos to all the bug reporters.

pata_efar: fix PIO2 underclocking

2009-06-05T18:40:52+00:00

Fix the PIO mode 2 using mode 0 timings -- this driver should enable the
fast timing bank starting with PIO2, just like the PIIX/ICH drivers do.
Also, fix/rephrase some comments while at it.

pata_legacy: wait for async probing

2009-06-05T18:40:46+00:00

The basic problem here that pata_legacy attaches the host, sees if it found
any devices and detaches it if none were found.  With async probing, it's not
waiting until discovery is finished before deciding it has no devices and
trying the detach leading to this warning:

ata1: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 irq 14

Because it detaches before the probe is complete.

One way to fix it would be to put an async_synchronize_full() before looking
for devices, which this patch does.  A better way might be to separate libata
into its own domain and only wait for that.

pata_netcell: LBA48 force identify bits correct

2009-06-02T16:49:46+00:00

This matches Bartlomiej's patch for ide_pci_generic:
c339dfdd65b52bfd947ab29d1210314a2f6d622d

In the libata case netcell has its own mini driver. I suspect this fix is
actually only needed for some firmware revs but it does no harm either way.

libata: Media rotation rate and form factor heuristics

2009-05-15T18:14:56+00:00

This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and
media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words.

The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard.  Only then are the
characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.

This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit
without any version checking whatsoever.  With no complaints so far.
