  • Saves text by removing nearly duplicated text format strings by
    creating ata__printk functions and printf extension %pV.

    ata defconfig size shrinks ~5% (~8KB), allyesconfig ~2.5% (~13KB)

    Format string duplication comes from:

    #define ata_link_printk(link, lv, fmt, args...) do { \

    else \
    printk("%sata%u: "fmt, lv, (link)->ap->print_id , ##args); \
    } while(0)

  • Currently, sata_fsl, mv and nv call ata_qc_complete() multiple times
    from their interrupt handlers to indicate completion of NCQ commands.
    This limits the visibility the libata core layer has into how commands
    are being executed and completed, which is necessary to support IRQ
    expecting in generic way. libata already has an interface to complete
    multiple commands at once - ata_qc_complete_multiple() which ahci and
    sata_sil24 already use.

    This patch updates the three drivers to use ata_qc_complete_multiple()
    too and updates comments on ata_qc_complete[_multiple]() regarding
    their usages with NCQ completions. This change not only provides
    better visibility into command execution to the core layer but also
    simplifies low level drivers.

    * sata_fsl: It already builds done_mask. Conversion is straight
    forward.

    * sata_mv: mv_process_crpb_response() no longer checks for illegal
    completions, it just returns whether the tag is completed or not.
    mv_process_crpb_entries() builds done_mask from it and passes it to
    ata_qc_complete_multiple() which will check for illegal completions.

    * sata_nv adma: Similar to sata_mv. nv_adma_check_cpb() now just
    returns the tag status and nv_adma_interrupt() builds done_mask from
    it and passes it to ata_qc_complete_multiple().

    * sata_nv swncq: It already builds done_mask. Drop unnecessary
    illegal transition checks and call ata_qc_complete_multiple().

    In the long run, it might be a good idea to make ata_qc_complete()
    whine if called when multiple NCQ commands are in flight.

  • On mcp55, nIEN gets stuck once set and liteon blueray rom iHOS104-08
    violates ATA specification and fails to set I on D2H Reg FIS if nIEN
    is set when the command was issued. When the other party is following
    the spec, both devices can work fine but when the two flaws are put
    together, they can't talk to each other.

    mcp55 has its own IRQ masking mechanism and there's no reason to mess
    with nIEN in the first place. Fix it by dropping nIEN diddling from
    nv_mcp55_freeze/thaw().

    This was originally reported by Cengiz. Although Cengiz hasn't
    verified the fix yet, I could reproduce this problem and verfiy the
    fix. Even if Cengiz is experiencing different or additional problems,
    this patch is needed.

  • Some of error handling logic in ata_sff_error_handler() and all of
    ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() are for BMDMA. Create
    ata_bmdma_error_handler() and ata_bmdma_post_internal_cmd() and move
    BMDMA part into those.

    While at it, change DMA protocol check to ata_is_dma(), fix
    post_internal_cmd to call ap->ops->bmdma_stop instead of directly
    calling ata_bmdma_stop() and open code hardreset selection so that
    ata_std_error_handler() doesn't have to know about sff hardreset.

    As these two functions are BMDMA specific, there's no reason to check
    for bmdma_addr before calling bmdma methods if the protocol of the
    failed command is DMA. sata_mv and pata_mpc52xx now don't need to set
    .post_internal_cmd to ATA_OP_NULL and pata_icside and sata_qstor don't
    need to set it to their bmdma_stop routines.

    ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() becomes noop and is removed.

    This fixes p3 described in clean-up-BMDMA-initialization patch.

  • When BMDMA initialization failed or BMDMA was not available for
    whatever reason, bmdma_addr was left at zero and used as an indication
    that BMDMA shouldn't be used. This leads to the following problems.

    p1. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register,
    ata_bmdma_mode_filter() incorrectly inhibits DMA modes. Those
    drivers either have to inherit from ata_sff_port_ops or clear
    ->mode_filter explicitly.

    p2. non-BMDMA drivers call into BMDMA PRD table allocation. It
    doesn't actually allocate PRD table if bmdma_addr is not
    initialized but is still confusing.

    p3. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register, some
    methods might not be invoked as expected (e.g. bmdma_stop from
    ata_sff_post_internal_cmd()).

    p4. SFF drivers w/ custom DMA interface implement noop BMDMA ops
    worrying libata core might call into one of them.

    These problems are caused by the muddy line between SFF and BMDMA and
    the assumption that all BMDMA controllers initialize bmdma_addr.

    This patch fixes p1 and p2 by removing the bmdma_addr assumption and
    moving prd allocation to BMDMA port start. Later patches will fix the
    remaining issues.

    This patch improves BMDMA initialization such that

    * When BMDMA register initialization fails, falls back to PIO instead
    of failing. ata_pci_bmdma_init() never fails now.

    * When ata_pci_bmdma_init() falls back to PIO, it clears
    ap->mwdma_mask and udma_mask instead of depending on
    ata_bmdma_mode_filter(). This makes ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
    unnecessary thus resolving p1.

    * ata_port_start() which actually is BMDMA specific is moved to
    ata_bmdma_port_start(). ata_port_start() and ata_sff_port_start()
    are killed.

    * ata_sff_port_start32() is moved and renamed to
    ata_bmdma_port_start32().

    Drivers which no longer call into PRD table allocation are...

    pdc_adma, sata_inic162x, sata_qstor, sata_sx4, pata_cmd640 and all
    drivers which inherit from ata_sff_port_ops.

    pata_icside sets ->port_start to ATA_OP_NULL as it doesn't need PRD
    but is a BMDMA controller and doesn't have custom port_start like
    other such controllers.

    Note that with the previous patch which makes all and only BMDMA
    drivers inherit from ata_bmdma_port_ops, this change doesn't break
    drivers which need PRD table.

  • ATA_FLAG_DISABLED is only used by drivers which don't use
    ->error_handler framework and is largely broken. Its only meaningful
    function is to make irq handlers skip processing if the flag is set,
    which is largely useless and even harmful as it makes those ports more
    likely to cause IRQ storms.

    Kill ATA_FLAG_DISABLED and makes the callers disable attached devices
    instead. ata_port_probe() and ata_port_disable() which manipulate the
    flag are also killed.

    This simplifies condition check in IRQ handlers. While updating IRQ
    handlers, remove ap NULL check as libata guarantees consecutive port
    allocation (unoccupied ports are initialized with dummies) and
    long-obsolete ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE check (checked by ata_qc_from_tag()).

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • 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.

  • When I thought it was finally defeated, it came back with vengeance.
    The failure cases are ever more convoluted. Now there is a single
    combination which fails boot probing - MCP5x + Intel SSD and there are
    two hotplug failure reports on different flavors where softreset fails
    to bring up the device.

    Through the many bug reports after the switch to hardreset, the
    following patterns emerged.

    - Softreset during boot always works.

    - Hardreset during boot sometimes fails to bring up the link on
    certain comibnations and device signature acquisition is unreliable.

    - Hardreset is often necessary after hotplug.

    It looks like the old behavior of preferring softreset was somehow
    pretty close to the working reset protocol although it could have lost
    a device during phy error handling by issuing hardreset.

    This patch implements nv_hardreset() which kicks in only for post-boot
    (!LOADING) device probing resets. This should be able to work around
    all known problem cases. This isn't perfect but given the various
    hardreset quirks on these controllers, I think this is as good as it
    can get.

    Tested on mcp5x (swncq), nf3 and ck804 for all both boot, warm and
    hot probing cases.

    Kudos to all the bug reporters and their painful hours with these damn
    controllers. ;-)

  • All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset
    behaves.

    * generic: Hardreset is not reliable. Link often doesn't come online
    after hardreset.

    * nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce
    timing. However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H
    Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the
    device after hardreset. Follow-up SRST required.

    * ck804: Hardreset finally works.

    The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes
    exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for
    all three flavors. This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues
    and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable.

  • Logically, SCR access ops should take @link; however, there was no
    compelling reason to convert all SCR access ops when adding @link
    abstraction as there's one-to-one mapping between a port and a non-PMP
    link. However, that assumption won't hold anymore with the scheduled
    addition of slave link.

    Make SCR access ops per-link.

  • Commit 2fd673ecf0378ddeeeb87b3605e50212e0c0ddc6 which tried to remove
    hardreset for generic accidentally removed it for all flavors as all
    others were inheriting from nv_generic_ops. This patch reinstates
    nv_hardreset() and puts it into nv_common_ops which all flavors
    inherit from. nv_generic_ops now inherits from nv_common_ops and
    overrides .hardreset to ATA_OP_NULL.

    While at it, explain why nv_hardreset and ATA_OP_NULL override are
    necessary.

  • of them being unifying probing, hotplug and EH reset paths uniform.
    Previously, broken hardreset could go unnoticed as it wasn't used
    during probing but when something goes wrong or after hotplug the
    problem will surface and bite hard.

    OSDL bug 11195 reports that sata_nv generic flavor falls into this
    category. Hardreset itself succeeds but PHY stays offline after
    hardreset. I tried longer debounce timing but the result was the
    same.

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11195

    So, it seems we'll have to drop hardreset from the generic flavor.

  • sata_nv hardreset can't classify but was left out while unifying
    follow-up SRST request mechanism[1]. This caused detection failures
    on those controllers. Fix it.

    Reported and bisected by Roland Dreier, Petr Vandrovec and Marc
    Dionne. Thanks guys.

  • Add sff_ prefix to SFF specific port ops.

    This rename is in preparation of separating SFF support out of libata
    core layer. This patch strictly renames ops and doesn't introduce any
    behavior difference.
