  • On command completion, ata_qc_complete() directly called ops->tf_read
    to fill qc->result_tf. This patch adds ops->qc_fill_rtf to replace
    hardcoded ops->tf_read usage.

    ata_sff_qc_fill_rtf() which uses ops->tf_read to fill result_tf is
    implemented and set in ata_base_port_ops and other ops tables which
    don't inherit from ata_base_port_ops, so this patch doesn't introduce
    any behavior change.

    ops->qc_fill_rtf() is similar to ops->sff_tf_read() but can only be
    called when a command finishes. As some non-SFF controllers don't
    have TF registers defined unless they're associated with in-flight
    commands, this limited operation makes life easier for those drivers
    and help lifting SFF assumptions from libata core layer.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • libata used private sg iterator to handle padding sg. Now that sg can
    be chained, padding can be handled using standard sg ops. Convert to
    chained sg.

    * s/qc->__sg/qc->sg/

    * s/qc->pad_sgent/qc->extra_sg[]/. Because chaining consumes one sg
    entry. There need to be two extra sg entries. The renaming is also
    for future addition of other extra sg entries.

    * Padding setup is moved into ata_sg_setup_extra() which is organized
    in a way that future addition of other extra sg entries is easy.

    * qc->orig_n_elem is unused and removed.

    * qc->n_elem now contains the number of sg entries that LLDs should
    map. qc->mapped_n_elem is added to carry the original number of
    mapped sgs for unmapping.

    * The last sg of the original sg list is used to chain to extra sg
    list. The original last sg is pointed to by qc->last_sg and the
    content is stored in qc->saved_last_sg. It's restored during
    ata_sg_clean().

    * All sg walking code has been updated. Unnecessary assertions and
    checks for conditions the core layer already guarantees are removed.

  • 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.

    * 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()

  • 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.

  • Convert ahci, sata_sil, sata_sil24, sata_svw, sata_qstor, sata_mv,
    sata_sx4, sata_vsc and sata_inic162x to new init model.

    Now that host and ap are available during intialization, functions are
    converted to take either host or ap instead of low level parameters
    which were inevitable for functions shared between init and other
    paths. This simplifies code quite a bit.

    * init_one()'s now follow more consistent init order

    * ahci_setup_port() and ahci_host_init() collapsed into
    ahci_init_one() for init order consistency

    * sata_vsc uses port_info instead of setting fields manually

    * in sata_svw, k2_board_info converted to port_info (info is now in
    port flags). port number is honored now.

    Tested on ICH7/8 AHCI, jmb360, sil3112, 3114, 3124 and 3132.

  • ata_port has two different id fields - id and port_no. id is
    system-wide 1-based unique id for the port while port_no is 0-based
    host-wide port number. The former is primarily used to identify the
    ATA port to the user in printk messages while the latter is used in
    various places in libata core and LLDs to index the port inside the
    host.

    The two fields feel quite similar and sometimes ap->id is used in
    place of ap->port_no, which is very difficult to spot. This patch
    renames ap->id to ap->print_id to reduce the possibility of such bugs.

    Some printk messages are adjusted such that id string (ata%u[.%u])
    isn't printed twice and/or to use ata_*_printk() instead of hardcoded
    id format.

  • After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).

  • 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.

  • Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
    of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
    Linux kernel.

    The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
    space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
    from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
    (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

    Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
    something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
    maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
    handling.

    Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
    through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
    device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
    interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
    device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
    layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

    I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
    main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
    I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
    with minimal configurations.

    This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
    Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

    struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

    And put the old one back at the end:

    set_irq_regs(old_regs);

    Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

    In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

    - update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
    - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
    + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
    + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

    I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
    except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

    Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

    (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
    the input_dev struct.

    (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
    something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
    pointer or not.

    (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
    irq_handler_t.

  • The biggest change is that ata_host_set is renamed to ata_host.

    * ata_host_set => ata_host
    * ata_probe_ent->host_flags => ata_probe_ent->port_flags
    * ata_probe_ent->host_set_flags => ata_probe_ent->_host_flags
    * ata_host_stats => ata_port_stats
    * ata_port->host => ata_port->scsi_host
    * ata_port->host_set => ata_port->host
    * ata_port_info->host_flags => ata_port_info->flags
    * ata_(.*)host_set(.*)\(\) => ata_\1host\2()

    The leading underscore in ata_probe_ent->_host_flags is to avoid
    reusing ->host_flags for different purpose. Currently, the only user
    of the field is libata-bmdma.c and probe_ent itself is scheduled to be
    removed.

    ata_port->host is reused for different purpose but this field is used
    inside libata core proper and of different type.
