libata: unlock HPA if device shrunk

2010-04-06T14:55:33+00:00

Some BIOSes don't configure HPA during boot but do so while resuming.
This causes harddrives to shrink during resume making libata detach
and reattach them.  This can be worked around by unlocking HPA if old
size equals native size.

Add ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA so that HPA unlocking can be controlled
per-device and update ata_dev_revalidate() such that it sets
ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA and fails with -EIO when the above condition is
detected.

This patch fixes the following bug.

libata: Pass host flags into the pci helper

2010-03-01T19:58:46+00:00

This allows parallel scan and the like to be set without having to stop
using the existing full helper functions. This patch merely adds the argument
and fixes up the callers. It doesn't undo the special cases already in the
tree or add any new parallel callers.

libata: implement spurious irq handling for SFF and apply it to piix

2010-03-01T19:58:44+00:00

Traditional IDE interface sucks in that it doesn't have a reliable IRQ
pending bit, so if the controller raises IRQ while the driver is
expecting it not to, the IRQ won't be cleared and eventually the IRQ
line will be killed by interrupt subsystem.  Some controllers have
non-standard mechanism to indicate IRQ pending so that this condition
can be detected and worked around.

This patch adds an optional operation ->sff_irq_check() which will be
called for each port from the ata_sff_interrupt() if an unexpected
interrupt is received.  If the operation returns %true,
->sff_check_status() and ->sff_irq_clear() will be cleared for the
port.  Note that this doesn't mark the interrupt as handled so it
won't prevent IRQ subsystem from killing the IRQ if this mechanism
fails to clear the spurious IRQ.

This patch also implements ->sff_irq_check() for ata_piix.  Note that
this adds slight overhead to shared IRQ operation as IRQs which are
destined for other controllers will trigger extra register accesses to
check whether IDE interrupt is pending but this solves rare screaming
IRQ cases and for some curious reason also helps weird BIOS related
glitch on Samsung n130 as reported in bko#14314.

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14314

* piix_base_ops dropped as suggested by Sergei.

* Spurious IRQ detection doesn't kick in anymore if polling qc is in
  progress.  This provides less protection but some controllers have
  possible data corruption issues if the wrong register is accessed
  while a command is in progress.

libata: retry link resume if necessary

2010-01-12T19:34:14+00:00

Interestingly, when SIDPR is used in ata_piix, writes to DET in
SControl sometimes get ignored leading to detection failure.  Update
sata_link_resume() such that it reads back SControl after clearing DET
and retry if it's not clear.

[SCSI] modify change_queue_depth to take in reason why it is being called

2009-12-04T18:00:41+00:00

This patch modifies scsi_host_template->change_queue_depth so that
it takes an argument indicating why it is being called. This will be
used so that if a LLD needs to do some extra processing when
handling queue fulls or later ramp ups, it can do so.

This is a simple port of the drivers setting a change_queue_depth
callback. In the patch I just have these LLDs adjust the queue depth
if the user was requesting it.

libata: retry failed FLUSH if device didn't fail it

2009-12-03T07:46:35+00:00

If ATA device failed FLUSH, it means that the device failed to write
out some amount of data and the error needs to be reported to upper
layers. As retries can't recover the lost data, FLUSH failures need to
be reported immediately in general.

However, if FLUSH fails due to transmission errors, the FLUSH needs to
be retried; otherwise, filesystems may switch to RO mode and/or raid
array may drop a drive for a random transmission glitch.

This condition can be rather easily reproduced on certain ahci
controllers which go through a PHY event after powersave mode switch +
ext4 combination.  Powersave mode switch is often closely followed by
flush from the filesystem failing the FLUSH with ATA bus error which
makes the filesystem code believe that data is lost and drop to RO
mode.  This was reported in the following bugzilla bug.

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14543

This patch makes libata EH retry FLUSH if it wasn't failed by the
device.
