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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Some of error handling logic in ata_sff_error_handler() and all of

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

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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

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()).Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

…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 allmodconfig8. 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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

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. ;-)Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

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

problem will surface and bite hard.OSDL bug 11195 reports that sata_nv generic flavor falls into this

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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

libata core layer doesn't care about sht or ->irq_handler. Those are
only of interest to the LLD during initialization. This is confusing
and has caused several drivers to have duplicate unused initializers
for these fields.Currently only sata_nv uses these fields. Make sata_nv use
->private_data, which is supposed to carry LLD-specific information,
instead and kill ->sht and ->irq_handler. nv_pi_priv structure is
defined and struct literals are used to initialize private_data.
Notational overhead is negligible.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

instead of ata_port_start() unless the driver has custom
implementation.* Every driver for SFF controllers now uses ata_pci_default_filter()
unless the driver has custom implementation.* Removed an odd port_info->sht initialization from ata_piix.c.
Likely a merge byproduct.* A port which has ATA_FLAG_SATA set doesn't need to set cable_detect
to ata_cable_sata(). Remove it from via and mv port ops.* Some drivers had unnecessary .max_sectors initialization which is
ignored and was missing .slave_destroy callback. Fixed.* Removed unnecessary sht initializations port_info's.
* Removed onsolete scsi device suspend/resume callbacks from
pata_bf54x.* No reason to set ata_pci_default_filter() and bmdma functions for
PIO-only drivers. Remove those callbacks and replace
ata_bmdma_irq_clear with ata_noop_irq_clear.* pata_platform sets port_start to ata_dummy_ret0. port_start can
just be set to NULL.* sata_fsl supports NCQ but was missing qc_defer. Fixed.
* pata_rb600_cf implements dummy port_start. Removed.
