      libata: consider errors not associated with commands for speed down · dfcc173d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      libata EH used to ignore errors not associated with commands when
      determining whether speed down is necessary or not.  This leads to the
      following problems.
      
      * Errors not associated with commands can occur indefinitely without
        libata EH taking corrective actions.
      
      * Upstream link errors don't trigger speed down when PMP is attached
        to it and commands issued to downstream device trigger errors on the
        upstream link.
      
      This patch makes ata_eh_link_autopsy() consider errors not associated
      with command for speed down.

      libata: more robust reset failure handling · 08cf69d0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Reset failure is a critical error.  It results in disabling the link
      requiring user intervention to re-enable it.  Make reset failure
      handling more robust such that libata EH doesn't give up too early.
      
      * Temporary glitches during hardreset may lead to classification
        failure when there's no softreset available.  Retry instead of
        giving up.
      
      * Initial softreset or follow up softreset may fail classification.
        Move classification error handling block out of followup softreset
        block such that both cases are handled and retry instead of giving
        up.  Also, on the last try, give ATA class a blind shot.

      libata: implement and use ATA_QCFLAG_QUIET · e027bd36
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Implement ATA_QCFLAG_QUIET which indicates that there's no need to
      report if the command fails with AC_ERR_DEV and set it for passthrough
      commands.
      
      Combined with previous changes, this now makes device errors for all
      direct commands reported directly to the issuer without going through
      EH actions and reporting.
      
      Note that EH is still invoked after non-IO device errors to determine
      the nature of the error and resume command execution (some controller
      requires special care after error to continue).  It just performs
      default maintenance after error, examines what's going on, realizes
      that it's none of its business and reports the command failure without
      logging any error messages.

      error except for ATAPI CCs.  This is unnecessary and hinders with

      enable whatever power management policy the user set up
      for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
      This power management policy will be activated after all
      disks have been enumerated and intialized.  Drivers should
      also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
      management, but not change link power management policy.

      Local variable @action usage in ata_eh_reset() is a bit confusing.

      libata: use ata_exec_internal() for PMP register access · b06ce3e5
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      PMP registers used to be accessed with dedicated accessors ->pmp_read
      and ->pmp_write.  During reset, those callbacks are called with the
      port frozen so they should be able to run without depending on
      interrupt delivery.  To achieve this, they were implemented polling.
      
      However, as resetting the host port makes the PMP to isolate fan-out
      ports until SError.X is cleared, resetting fan-out ports while port is
      frozen doesn't buy much additional safety.
      
      This patch updates libata PMP support such that PMP registers are
      accessed using regular ata_exec_internal() mechanism and kills
      ->pmp_read/write() callbacks.  The following changes are made.
      
      * PMP access helpers - sata_pmp_read_init_tf(), sata_pmp_read_val(),
        sata_pmp_write_init_tf() are folded into sata_pmp_read/write() which
        are now standalone PMP register access functions.
      
      * sata_pmp_read/write() returns err_mask instead of rc.  This is
        consistent with other functions which issue internal commands and
        allows more detailed error reporting.
      
      * ahci interrupt handler is modified to ignore BAD_PMP and
        spurious/illegal completion IRQs while reset is in progress.  These
        conditions are expected during reset.

      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.

      libata-link: update EH to deal with PMP links · 9b1e2658
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Update ata_eh_autopsy(), ata_eh_report(),
      ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach() and ata_eh_recover() to deal with PMP
      links.  ata_eh_autopsy() and ata_eh_report() updates are
      straightforward.  They just repeat the same operation over all
      configured links.  The only change to ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach()
      is avoiding calling ->cable_select() on non-host ports.
      
      ata_eh_recover() update is more complex as it first processes all
      resets and then performs the rest.  This is necessary as thawing with
      some links in unknown state can be dangerous.  ehi->action is cleared
      on successful recovery of a link to avoid repeating recovery due to
      failures in other links.
      
      ata_eh_recover() iterates over only PMP links if PMP is attached, and,
      on failure, the failing link is returned in @failed_link instead of
      disabling devices directly.  These are to integrate ata_eh_recover()
      into PMP EH later.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Update ata_scsi_error() to handle PMP links.  As error conditions can
      occur on both host and PMP links, __ata_port_for_each_link() is used.

      libata-link: implement and use link/device iterators · f58229f8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      libata-link: introduce ata_link · 9af5c9c9
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.
