    "One more patch from Adam added.

    It makes libata skip probing for NCQ prio unless the feature is
    explicitly requested by the user. This is necessary because some
    controllers lock up after the optional feature is probed"

    ata: avoid probing NCQ Prio Support if not explicitly requested

    Linus Torvalds
     
  • Previously, when the ata device was being initialized we were
    probing for NCQ prio support by checking the identify information
    and also checking the log page that holds information about ncq prio
    support.

    This caused an error on an Intel HBA so the code is now updated to
    only probe for NCQ prio support when the sysfs variable controlling
    NCQ prio support is enabled.

    tj: Update formatting, switch to spin_[un]lock_irq() and update
    locking a bit, use REVALIDATE instead of RESET, and return -EIO
    instead of -EINVAL on config failure.

    - Adam added opt-in ATA command priority support.

    - There are machines which hide multiple nvme devices behind an ahci
    BAR. Dan Williams proposed a solution to force-switch the mode but
    deemed too hackishd. People are gonna discuss the proper way to
    handle the situation in nvme standard meetings. For now, detect and
    warn about the situation.

    - Low level driver specific changes.

    Christoph Hellwig pipes in about the hidden nvme warning:
    "I wish that was the case. We've pretty much agreed that we'll want to
    implement it as a virtual PCIe root bridge, similar to Intels other
    'innovation' VMD that we work around that way.

    But Intel management has apparently decided that they don't want to
    spend more cycles on this now that Lenovo has an optional BIOS that
    doesn't force this broken mode anymore, and no one outside of Intel
    has enough information to implement something like this.

    So for now I guess this warning is it, until Intel reconsideres and
    spends resources on fixing up the damage their Chipset people caused"

  • SCT Write Same support had been introduced with
    commit 7b2030942859 ("libata: Add support for SCT Write Same")

    Some problems, namely excessive userspace segfaults, had been reported at

    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160908192736.GA4356@gmail.com

    This lead to commit 0ce1b18c42a5 ("libata: Some drives failing on
    SCT Write Same") which strived to disable SCT Write Same on !ZAC devices.
    Due to the way this was done and to the logic in sd_config_write_same(),
    this didn't work for those devices that have
    ->max_ws_blocks > SD_MAX_WS10_BLOCKS: for these, ->no_write_same and
    ->max_write_same_sectors would still be non-zero,
    but ->ws10 == ->ws16 == 0. This would cause sd_setup_write_same_cmnd() to
    demultiplex REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME requests to WRITE_SAME, and these in turn
    aren't supported by libata-scsi:

    EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2625094 at
    logical offset 2032 with max blocks 2 with error 121
    EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

    121 == EREMOTEIO is what scsi_io_completion() asserts in case of
    invalid opcodes.

    Back to the original problem of userspace segfaults: this can be tracked
    down to ata_format_sct_write_same() overwriting the input page. Sometimes,
    this page is ZERO_PAGE(0) which ceases to be filled with zeros from that
    point on. Since ZERO_PAGE(0) is used for userspace .bss mappings, code of
    the following is doomed:

    static char *a = NULL; /* .bss */
    ...
    if (a)
    *a = 'a';

    This problem is not solved by disabling SCT Write Same for !ZAC devices
    only.

    It can certainly be fixed, but the final release is quite close -- so
    disable SCT Write Same for all ATA devices rather than introducing some
    SCT key buffer allocation schemes at this point.

  • Some Intel ahci implementations have a completely broken remapping mode
    where they hide one or more NVMe devices behind the bar of an AHCI device.

    Intel refuses to let the OS reprogram the BIOS to switch out of this
    mode at runtime, and so far we're not come up with another good way
    to undo the mess that the Chipset people created. So for now the only
    thing we can do is to alert users about this situation and switch to the
    faster and much saner so called "AHCI" mode insted of the RAID mode in
    the BIOS so that the BIOS does not hide the NVMe devices from us.

    The sitation is even worse as at least one vendor (thanks a lot Lenovo..)
    has started hardcoding their BIOS into the "RAID" mode even for laptops
    that don't use AHCI _at all_ and just have a single NVMe device. For now
    there is an unspported Linux-only BIOS that undoes this braindamage,
    but we'll have to see if things are getting better or worse from here.

    Based on an earlier patch from Dan Williams .

  • We previously had a check to see if the device has support for
    prioritized ncq commands and a check to see if a device flag
    is set, through a sysfs variable, in order to send a prioritized
    command.

    This patch only allows the sysfs variable to be set if the device
    supports prioritized commands enabling one check in ata_build_rw_tf
    in order to determine whether or not to send a prioritized command.

    This patch depends on ata: ATA Command Priority Disabled By Default

  • This patch checks to see if an ATA device supports NCQ command priorities.
    If so and the user has specified an iocontext that indicates
    IO_PRIO_CLASS_RT then we build a tf with a high priority command.

    This is done to improve the tail latency of commands that are high
    priority by passing priority to the device.

  • This reverts commit 640847298e2b7f19 ("ahci: qoriq: Disable NCQ
    on ls2080a SoC")

    The erratum has been fixed in ls2080a v2.0 and later soc.
    In reality, customer will not get any ls2080a v1.0 soc. Neither apply
    to any products. So reverting this commit won't create any side effect.

    Blacklisting v2.0 could also be a option, but that needs to check the
    soc version which is not suitable in the driver.

  • Use the new pci_alloc_irq_vectors API to allocate MSI-X and MSI vectors.
    The big advantage over the old code is that we can use the same API for
    MSI and MSI-X, and that we don't need to store the MSI-X vector mapping
    in driver-private data structures.

    This first conversion keeps the probe order as-is: MSI-X multi vector,
    MSI multi vector, MSI single vector, MSI-X single vector and last a
    single least legacy interrupt line. There is one small change of
    behavior: we now check the "MSI Revert to Single Message" flag for
    MSI-X in addition to MSI.

    Because the API to find the Linux IRQ number for a MSI/MSI-X vector
    is PCI specific, but libahaci is bus-agnostic I had to a
    get_irq_vector function pointer to struct ahci_host_priv. The
    alternative would be to move the multi-vector case of ahci_host_activate
    to ahci.c and just call ata_host_activate directly from the others
    users of ahci_host_activate.

  • Correct handling of devices with sector_size other that 512 bytes.

    In the case of a 4Kn device sector_size it is possible to describe a much
    larger DSM Trim than the current fixed default of 512 bytes.

    This patch assumes the minimum descriptor is sector_size and fills out
    the descriptor accordingly.

    The ACS-2 specification is quite clear that the DSM command payload is
    sized as number of 512 byte transfers so a 4Kn device will operate
    correctly without this patch.

    Also, since ata_mselect_control() has no ATA command to send to the

    ata_scsi_translate() will finish early to avoid ata_qc_issue().
