<content type='text'>
commit 4ee34ea3a12396f35b26d90a094c75db95080baa upstream.

The id buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't explicitly
cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be overwritten with
stale data from memory on non coherent architectures. As a result, the
kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an ATA device.

Fix this by ensuring that the id buffer is cacheline aligned.

This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af31f
("libata: align ap-&gt;sector_buf").

Some controller lockup on a ata_read_log_page.
Add new ata port flag ATA_FLAG_NO_LOG_PAGE which can used
to blacklist a controller.

If this flag is set, any attempt to read a log page returns an error
without actually issuing the command.

<title>ata: ahci: find eSATA ports and flag them as removable</title>

<content type='text'>
If the AHCI ports' HPCP or ESP bits are set, the port
should be considered external (e.g. eSATA) and is marked
as removable.  Userspace tools like udisks then treat it
like an usb drive.

With this patch applied, when I plug a drive into the esata port,
KDE pops up a window asking what to do with the drives(s), just
like it does for any random USB stick.

Removability is indicated to the upper layers by way of the
SCSI RMB bit, as I haven't found another way to signal
userspace to treat a sata disk like any usb stick.

<title>libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_MAX_SEC_1024 to revert back to previous max_sectors limit</title>

<content type='text'>
Since no longer limiting max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (commit 34b48db66e08),
data corruption may occur on ST380013AS drive configured on 82801JI (ICH10 Family)
SATA controller. This patch will allow the driver to limit max_sectors as before

 # cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb
 512

I was able to double the max_sectors_kb value up to 16384 on linux-4.2.0-rc2
before seeing corruption, but seems safer to use previous limit. Without this
patch max_sectors_kb will be 32767.

tj: Minor comment update.

When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might
generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link.
Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change.

The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these
spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.
