  • Separate out BMDMA irq handler from SFF irq handler. The misnamed
    host_intr() functions are renamed to ata_sff_port_intr() and
    ata_bmdma_port_intr(). Common parts are factored into
    __ata_sff_port_intr() and __ata_sff_interrupt() and used by sff and
    bmdma interrupt routines.

    All BMDMA drivers now use ata_bmdma_interrupt() or
    ata_bmdma_port_intr() while all non-BMDMA SFF ones use
    ata_sff_interrupt() or ata_sff_port_intr().

    For now, ata_pci_sff_init_one() uses ata_bmdma_interrupt() as it's
    used by both SFF and BMDMA drivers.

    possibly by sata_sil. This should be moved to respective low

  • 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.

  • Now, with the introduction of the sff_set_devctl() method, we can
    use it in sff_irq_on() method too -- that way its implementations
    in 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' become virtually identical to
    ata_sff_irq_on(). The sff_irq_on() method now becomes quite
    superfluous, and the only reason not to remove it completely is
    the existence of the 'pata_octeon_cf' driver which implements it
    as an empty function. Just make the method optional then, with
    ata_sff_irq_on() becoming generic taskfile-bound function, still
    global for the 'pata_bf54x' driver to be able to call it from its
    thaw() and postreset() methods.

    While at it, make the sff_irq_on() method and ata_sff_irq_on() return
    'void' as the result is always ignored anyway.

  • The set of libata's taskfile access methods is clearly incomplete as
    it lacks a method to write to the device control register -- which
    forces drivers like 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' to implement more
    "high level" (and more weighty) methods like freeze() and postreset().

    So, introduce the optional sff_set_devctl() method which the drivers
    only have to implement if the standard iowrite8() can't be used (just
    like the existing sff_check_altstatus() method) and make use of it
    in the freeze() and postreset() method implementations (I could also
    have used it in softreset() method but it also reads other taskfile
    registers without using tf_read() making that quite pointless);
    this makes freeze() method implementations in the 'pata_bf54x' and
    'pata_scc' methods virtually identical to ata_sff_freeze(), so we
    can get rid of them completely.

  • libata has been using mix of jiffies and msecs for time druations.
    This is getting confusing. As writing sub HZ values in jiffies is
    PITA and msecs_to_jiffies() can't be used as initializer, unify unit
    for all time durations to msecs. So, durations are in msecs and
    deadlines are in jiffies. ata_deadline() is added to compute deadline
    from a start time and duration in msecs.

    While at it, drop now superflous _msec suffix from arguments and
    rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time
    rather than duration.

  • - Make ata_sff_altstatus private so nobody uses it by mistake
    - Drop the 400nS delay from it

    Add

    ata_sff_irq_status - encapsulates the IRQ check logic

    This function keeps the existing behaviour for altstatus using devices. I
    actually suspect the logic was wrong before the changes but -rc isn't the
    time to play with that

    ata_sff_sync - ensure writes hit the device

    Really we want an io* operation for 'is posted' eg ioisposted(ioaddr) so
    that we can fix the nasty delay this causes on most systems.

    - ata_sff_pause - 400nS delay

    Ensure the command hit the device and delay 400nS

    - ata_sff_dma_pause

    Ensure the I/O hit the device and enforce an HDMA1:0 transition delay.
    Requires altstatus register exists, BUG if not so we don't risk
    corruption in MWDMA modes. (UDMA the checksum will save your backside in
    theory)

    The only other complication then is devices with their own handlers.
    rb532 can use dma_pause but scc needs to access its own altstatus
    register for internal errata workarounds so directly call the drivers own
    altstatus function.

  • Currently, SATA softresets should do link onlineness check before
    actually performing SRST protocol but it doesn't really belong to
    softreset.

    This patch moves onlineness check in softreset to ata_eh_reset() and
    ata_eh_followup_srst_needed() to clean up code and help future sata_mv
    changes which need clear separation between SCR and TF accesses.

    sata_fsl is peculiar in that its softreset really isn't softreset but
    combination of hardreset and softreset. This patch adds dummy private
    ->prereset to keep the current behavior but the driver really should
    implement separate hard and soft resets and return -EAGAIN from
    hardreset if it should be follwed by softreset.

  • Previously, post-softreset readiness is waited as follows.

    1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for
    ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet.

    2. ata_bus_softreset() finishes with -ENODEV if status is still 0xff.
    If not, continue to #3.

    3. ata_bus_post_reset() waits readiness of dev0 and/or dev1 depending
    on devmask using ata_sff_wait_ready().

    And for post-hardreset readiness,

    1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for
    ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet.

    2. sata_sff_hardreset waits for device readiness using
    ata_sff_wait_ready().

    This patch merges and unifies post-reset readiness waits into
    ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset().

    ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT handling is merged into ata_sff_wait_ready(). If TF
    status is 0xff, link status is unknown and the port is SATA, it will
    continue polling till ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT.

    ata_sff_wait_after_reset() is updated to perform the following steps.

    1. waits for 150ms.

    2. waits for dev0 readiness using ata_sff_wait_ready(). Note that
    this is done regardless of devmask, as ata_sff_wait_ready() handles
    0xff status correctly, this preserves the original behavior except
    that it may wait longer after softreset if link is online but
    status is 0xff. This behavior change is very unlikely to cause any
    actual difference and is intended. It brings softreset behavior to
    that of hardreset.

    3. waits for dev1 readiness just the same way ata_bus_post_reset() did.

    Now both soft and hard resets call ata_sff_wait_after_reset() after
    reset to wait for readiness after resets. As
    ata_sff_wait_after_reset() contains calls to ->sff_dev_select(),
    explicit call near the end of sata_sff_hardreset() is removed.

    This change makes reset implementation simpler and more consistent.

    While at it, make the magical 150ms wait post-reset wait duration a
    constant and ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset() take
    @link instead of @ap. This is to make them consistent with other
    reset helpers and ease core changes.

    pata_scc is updated accordingly.

    * Drop generic prefixes from LLD specific routines. For example,
    bfin_std_dev_select -> bfin_dev_select.

    The following renames are noteworthy.

    ata_qc_issue_prot() -> ata_sff_qc_issue()
    ata_pci_default_filter() -> ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
    ata_dev_try_classify() -> ata_sff_dev_classify()

  • Currently reset methods are not specified directly in the
    ata_port_operations table. If a LLD wants to use custom reset
    methods, it should construct and use a error_handler which uses those
    reset methods. It's done this way for two reasons.

    First, the ops table already contained too many methods and adding
    four more of them would noticeably increase the amount of necessary
    boilerplate code all over low level drivers.

    Second, as ->error_handler uses those reset methods, it can get
    confusing. ie. By overriding ->error_handler, those reset ops can be
    made useless making layering a bit hazy.

    Now that ops table uses inheritance, the first problem doesn't exist
    anymore. The second isn't completely solved but is relieved by
    providing default values - most drivers can just override what it has
    implemented and don't have to concern itself about higher level
    callbacks. In fact, there currently is no driver which actually
    modifies error handling behavior. Drivers which override
    ->error_handler just wraps the standard error handler only to prepare
    the controller for EH. I don't think making ops layering strict has
    any noticeable benefit.

    This patch makes ->prereset, ->softreset, ->hardreset, ->postreset and
    their PMP counterparts propoer ops. Default ops are provided in the
    base ops tables and drivers are converted to override individual reset
    methods instead of creating custom error_handler.

    * ata_std_error_handler() doesn't use sata_std_hardreset() if SCRs
    aren't accessible. sata_promise doesn't need to use separate
    error_handlers for PATA and SATA anymore.

    * softreset is broken for sata_inic162x and sata_sx4. As libata now
    always prefers hardreset, this doesn't really matter but the ops are
    forced to NULL using ATA_OP_NULL for documentation purpose.

    * pata_hpt374 needs to use different prereset for the first and second
    PCI functions. This used to be done by branching from
    hpt374_error_handler(). The proper way to do this is to use
    separate ops and port_info tables for each function. Converted.

  • libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and
    register it with libata core layer. This allows low level drivers
    high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of
    boilerplate entries.

    This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar
    controllers which differ slightly. They share most of the operations
    except for a few. However, the driver still needs to list all
    operations for each variant. This results in large number of
    duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone
    as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are.

    This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make
    updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone. When
    compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up
    accumulating inconsistencies over time. Some of those inconsistencies
    cause immediate problems and fixed. Others just remain there dormant
    making maintenance increasingly difficult.

    To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations
    inheritance. To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables
    overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's
    class inheritance. An ops table has ->inherits field which can be set
    to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop. When the host
    is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which
    isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it
    specified. This operation is called finalization and done only once
    per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about
    it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can
    update it.

    libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from -
    base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma. To avoid overriding these ops
    accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always
    inherit these instead of using them directly.

    After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after
    the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers
    which didn't use to. The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect
    and the field will soon be removed by later patch.

    * sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take
    advantage of ops inheritance.

  • On certain device/controller combination, 0xff status is asserted
    after reset and doesn't get cleared during 150ms post-reset wait. As
    0xff status is interpreted as no device (for good reasons), this can
    lead to misdetection on such cases.

    This patch implements ata_wait_after_reset() which replaces the 150ms
    sleep and waits upto ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff.
    ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT is currently 800ms which is enough for
    HHD424020F7SV00 to get detected but not enough for Quantum GoVault
    drive which is known to take upto 2s.

    Without parallel probing, spending 2s on 0xff port would incur too
    much delay on ata_piix's which use 0xff to indicate empty port and
    doesn't have SCR register, so GoVault needs to wait till parallel
    probing.

    ata_port_pbar_desc(). ata_port_desc() is almost identical to
    ata_ehi_push_desc() except that it takes @ap instead of @ehi, has no
    locking requirement, can only be used during host initialization and "
    " is used as separator instead of ", ". ata_port_pbar_desc() is a
    helper to ease reporting of a PCI BAR or an offsetted address into it.

    LLD pushes whatever description it wants using the above two
    functions. The accumulated description is printed on host
    registration after "[S/P]ATA max MAX_XFERMODE ".

    SFF init helpers and ata_host_activate() automatically add
    descriptions for addresses and irq respectively, so only LLDs which
    isn't standard SFF need to add custom descriptions. In many cases,
    such controllers need to report different things anyway.

  • It was always set to ata_port_disable(). Removed the hook, and replaced
    the very few ap->ops->port_disable() callsites with direct calls to
    ata_port_disable().

  • * ->irq_ack() is redundant to what the irq handler already
    performs... chk-status + irq-clear. Furthermore, it is only
    called in one place, when screaming-irq-debugging is enabled,
    so we don't want to bother with a hook just for that.

    * ata_dummy_irq_on() is only ever used in drivers that have
    no callpath reaching ->irq_on(). Remove .irq_on hook from
    those drivers, and the now-unused ata_dummy_irq_on()

  • Make the following PHY-related functions to deal with ata_link instead
    of ata_port.

    * sata_print_link_status()
    * sata_down_spd_limit()
    * ata_set_sata_spd_limit() and friends
    * sata_link_debounce/resume()
    * sata_scr_valid/read/write/write_flush()
    * ata_link_on/offline()

    This patch introduces no behavior change.

  • Introduce ata_link. It abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and
    ata_device. This new level of abstraction is necessary to support
    SATA Port Multiplier, which basically adds a bunch of links (PHYs) to
    a ATA host port. Fields related to command execution, spd_limit and
    EH are per-link and thus moved to ata_link.

    This patch only defines the host link. Multiple link handling will be
    added later. Also, a lot of ap->link derefences are added but many of
    them will be removed as each part is converted to deal directly with
    ata_link instead of ata_port.

    This patch introduces no behavior change.
