libata EH intentionally left a port frozen if it failed ata_eh_reset(). The intention was avoiding continuous loop of resets when the controller or attached device is flaky and reporting spurious hotplug events. Once port enters this state, it can be recovered with manual rescan, which seemed reasonable. However, outside of my convoluted test setup, there have been very few reports justifying this choice while there have been more cases where the automatic freezing of the port after hotplug attempt of a faulty device caused confusion and led to unnecessary resets. This patch changes the behavior so that the port is thawed after reset failure. This change doesn't necessarily solve but makes it easier and more intuitive to work around hotplug related problems (ie. re-pluggin or power cycling the device) as reported in the followings. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34712 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1123265/focus=49548Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: NReartes Guillermo <rtguille@gmail.com> Reported-by: NBruce Stenning <b.stenning@indigovision.com> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
