<title>ata_piix: fix suspend/resume for some TOSHIBA laptops</title>

<id>b8b275efc28e34f9b1d1e382d0b02dfa381b2a79</id>
<content type='text'>
ACPI implementations in several TOSHIBA laptops are weird and burn cpu
cycles for tens of seconds while trying to suspend if the PCI device
for the ATA controller is disabled when the ACPI suspend is called.

This patch uses DMI to match those machines and bypass device disable
on those machines during suspend.  As the device needs to be put into
enabled state on resume without affecting PCI enable count, matching
resume callback uses __pci_reenable_device().

This bug is reported in bugzilla bug 7780.

<title>libata: implement EH fast drain</title>

<content type='text'>
In most cases, when EH is scheduled, all in-flight commands are
aborted causing EH to kick in immediately.  However, in some cases
(especially with PMP), it's unclear which commands are affected by the
error condition and although aborting all in-flight commands work, it
isn't optimal and may cause unnecessary disruption.  On the other
hand, waiting for in-flight commands to drain themselves can take up
to 30seconds.

This patch implements EH fast drain to handle such situations.  It
gives in-flight commands some time to finish up but doesn't wait for
too long.  After EH is scheduled, fast drain timer is started and if
no other completion occurs in ATA_EH_FASTDRAIN_INTERVAL all in-flight
commands are aborted.  If any completion occurred in the interval, the
port is given another interval to finish up itself.

Currently ATA_EH_FASTDRAIN_INTERVAL is 3 secs which should be enough
for finishing up most commands.

sata_down_spd_limit() first reads the current SPD from SStatus and
limit the speed to the lower one of one below the current limit or one
below the current SPD in SStatus.  SPD may not be accessible or valid
when SPD down is requested making sata_down_spd_limit() fail when it's
most needed.

This patch makes the current SPD cached after each successful reset
and forces GEN I speed (1.5Gbps) if neither of SStatus or the cached
value is valid, so sata_down_spd_limit() is now guaranteed to lower
the speed limit if lower speed is available.

When an NCQ command fails, all commands in flight are aborted and the
offending one is reported using log page 10h.  Depending on controller
characteristics and LLD implementation, all commands may appear as
having a device error due to shared TF status making it hard to
determine what's actually going on.

This patch adds AC_ERR_NCQ, marks the command reported by log page 10h
with it and print extra "&lt;F&gt;" after the error report for the command
to help distinguishing the offending command.

Requiring LLDs to format multiple error description messages properly
doesn't work too well.  Help LLDs a bit by making ata_ehi_push_desc()
insert ", " on each invocation.  __ata_ehi_push_desc() is the raw
version without the automatic separator.

While at it, make ehi_desc interface proper functions instead of
macros.
