  • SFF functions have confusing names. Some have sff prefix, some have
    bmdma, some std, some pci and some none. Unify the naming by...

    * SFF functions which are common to both BMDMA and non-BMDMA are
    prefixed with ata_sff_.

    * SFF functions which are specific to BMDMA are prefixed with
    ata_bmdma_.

    * SFF functions which are specific to PCI but apply to both BMDMA and
    non-BMDMA are prefixed with ata_pci_sff_.

    * SFF functions which are specific to PCI and BMDMA are prefixed with
    ata_pci_bmdma_.

    * 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()

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

  • 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.

  • libata lets low level drivers build scsi_host_template and register it
    to the SCSI layer. This allows low level drivers high level of
    flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries.

    This patch implements SHT initializers which can be used to initialize
    all the boilerplate entries in a sht. Three variants of them are
    implemented - BASE, BMDMA and NCQ - for different types of drivers.
    Note that entries can be overriden by putting individual initializers
    after the helper macro.

    All sht tables are identical before and after this patch.

  • Currently, port configuration reporting has the following problems.

    * iomapped address is reported instead of raw address
    * report contains irrelevant fields or lacks necessary fields for
    non-SFF controllers.
    * host->irq/irq2 are there just for reporting and hacky.

    This patch implements and uses ata_port_desc() and
    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.

  • * ->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.

  • Multiple links and different number of devices per link should be
    considered to iterate over links and devices. This patch implements
    and uses link and device iterators - ata_port_for_each_link() and
    ata_link_for_each_dev() - and ata_link_max_devices().

    This change makes a lot of functions iterate over only possible
    devices instead of from dev 0 to dev ATA_MAX_DEVICES. All such
    changes have been examined and nothing should be broken.

    While at it, add a separating comment before device helpers to
    distinguish them better from link helpers and others.

  • 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.

  • Previously I reported that the pata_pdc2027x PLL detection changes
    in kernel 2.6.22 broke the driver on my PowerMac:

    >pata_pdc2027x: Invalid PLL input clock 1691742kHz, give up!

    This is followed by a number of errors and speed reduction
    steps on the affected ports.

    There are two bugs in pata_pdc2027x's PLL detection code:

    1. The PLL counter's start value is read before the chip is
    put in "test mode". Outside of test mode the counter is
    halted, and on the PowerMac the counter is zero because
    the chip hasn't been initialised by its BIOS.

    The fix is to move the read of the start value to after
    test mode is started, but before the mdelay() in test mode.
    This also improves the precision of the PLL detection.

    2. The code to compute the number of PLL decrements during the
    mdelay() in test mode fails to consider that the PLL counter
    only is 30 bits wide. If there is a wraparound, it will compute
    an incorrect and much too large value. On the PowerMac, the
    start count is zero, the end count is a large 30-bit value, so
    wraparound occurs and an out of bounds PLL clock is detected.

    The fix is to mask the (start - end) computation to 30 bits.

    While debugging this I also noticed that pdc_read_counter()
    reads the two halves of the 30-bit PLL counter as 16-bit values,
    and then combines them as if the halves only are 15 bits wide.
    To avoid confusion, the halves should be read as 15-bit values.

    This patch implements all three changes. It fixes the PLL detection
    failure on my PowerMac, and doesn't cause any regressions on an x86
    with an identical card.

  • Recently the PLL input clock of pata_pdc2027x is sometimes detected
    higer than expected (e.g. 20.027 MHz compared to 16.714 MHz).
    It seems sometimes the mdelay() function is not as precise as it
    used to be. Per Alan's advice, HT or power management might affect
    the precision of mdelay().

    This patch calls gettimeofday() to mesure the time elapsed and
    calculate the PLL input clock accordingly.

  • Add @deadline to prereset and reset methods and make them honor it.
    ata_wait_ready() which directly takes @deadline is implemented to be
    used as the wait function. This patch is in preparation for EH timing
    improvements.

    * ata_wait_ready() never does busy sleep. It's only used from EH and
    no wait in EH is that urgent. This function also prints 'be
    patient' message automatically after 5 secs of waiting if more than
    3 secs is remaining till deadline.

    * ata_bus_post_reset() now fails with error code if any of its wait
    fails. This is important because earlier reset tries will have
    shorter timeout than the spec requires. If a device fails to
    respond before the short timeout, reset should be retried with
    longer timeout rather than silently ignoring the device.

    There are three behavior differences.

    1. Timeout is applied to both devices at once, not separately. This
    is more consistent with what the spec says.

    2. When a device passes devchk but fails to become ready before
    deadline. Previouly, post_reset would just succeed and let
    device classification remove the device. New code fails the
    reset thus causing reset retry. After a few times, EH will give
    up disabling the port.

    3. When slave device passes devchk but fails to become accessible
    (TF-wise) after reset. Original code disables dev1 after 30s
    timeout and continues as if the device doesn't exist, while the
    patched code fails reset. When this happens, new code fails
    reset on whole port rather than proceeding with only the primary
    device.

    If the failing device is suffering transient problems, new code
    retries reset which is a better behavior. If the failing device is
    actually broken, the net effect is identical to it, but not to the
    other device sharing the channel. In the previous code, reset would
    have succeeded after 30s thus detecting the working one. In the new
    code, reset fails and whole port gets disabled. IMO, it's a
    pathological case anyway (broken device sharing bus with working
    one) and doesn't really matter.

    * ata_bus_softreset() is changed to return error code from
    ata_bus_post_reset(). It used to return 0 unconditionally.

    * Spin up waiting is to be removed and not converted to honor
    deadline.

    * To be on the safe side, deadline is set to 40s for the time being.

  • This patch is against each libata driver.

    Two IRQ calls are added in ata_port_operations.
    - irq_on() is used to enable interrupts.
    - irq_ack() is used to acknowledge a device interrupt.

    In most drivers, ata_irq_on() and ata_irq_ack() are used for
    irq_on and irq_ack respectively.

    In some drivers (ex: ahci, sata_sil24) which cannot use them
    as is, ata_dummy_irq_on() and ata_dummy_irq_ack() are used.

  • Update libata LLDs to use devres. Core layer is already converted to
    support managed LLDs. This patch simplifies initialization and fixes
    many resource related bugs in init failure and detach path. For
    example, all converted drivers now handle ata_device_add() failure
    gracefully without excessive resource rollback code.

    As most resources are released automatically on driver detach, many
    drivers don't need or can do with much simpler ->{port|host}_stop().
    In general, stop callbacks are need iff port or host needs to be given
    commands to shut it down. Note that freezing is enough in many cases
    and ports are automatically frozen before being detached.
