Implement sata_std_hardreset(), which simply wraps around sata_link_hardreset(). sata_std_hardreset() becomes new standard hardreset method for sata_port_ops and sata_sff_hardreset() moves from ata_base_port_ops to ata_sff_port_ops, which is where it really belongs. ata_is_builtin_hardreset() is added so that both ata_std_error_handler() and ata_sff_error_handler() skip both builtin hardresets if SCR isn't accessible. piix_sidpr_hardreset() in ata_piix.c is identical to sata_std_hardreset() in functionality and got replaced with the standard function.

sata_sff_hardreset() contains link readiness wait logic which isn't SFF specific. Move that part into sata_link_hardreset(), which now takes two more parameters - @online and @check_ready. Both are optional. The former is out parameter for link onlineness after reset. The latter is used to wait for link readiness after hardreset. Users of sata_link_hardreset() is updated to use new funtionality and ahci_hardreset() is updated to use sata_link_hardreset() instead of sata_sff_hardreset(). This doesn't really cause any behavior change. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

Factor out waiting logic (which is common to all ATA controllers) from ata_sff_wait_ready() into ata_wait_ready(). ata_wait_ready() takes @check_ready function pointer and uses it to poll for readiness. This allows non-SFF controllers to use ata_wait_ready() to wait for link readiness. This patch also implements ata_wait_after_reset() - generic version of ata_sff_wait_after_reset() - using ata_wait_ready(). ata_sff_wait_ready() is reimplemented using ata_wait_ready() and ata_sff_check_ready(). Functionality remains the same. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

Previously, post-softreset readiness is waited as follows. 1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet. 2. ata_bus_softreset() finishes with -ENODEV if status is still 0xff. If not, continue to #3. 3. ata_bus_post_reset() waits readiness of dev0 and/or dev1 depending on devmask using ata_sff_wait_ready(). And for post-hardreset readiness, 1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet. 2. sata_sff_hardreset waits for device readiness using ata_sff_wait_ready(). This patch merges and unifies post-reset readiness waits into ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset(). ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT handling is merged into ata_sff_wait_ready(). If TF status is 0xff, link status is unknown and the port is SATA, it will continue polling till ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() is updated to perform the following steps. 1. waits for 150ms. 2. waits for dev0 readiness using ata_sff_wait_ready(). Note that this is done regardless of devmask, as ata_sff_wait_ready() handles 0xff status correctly, this preserves the original behavior except that it may wait longer after softreset if link is online but status is 0xff. This behavior change is very unlikely to cause any actual difference and is intended. It brings softreset behavior to that of hardreset. 3. waits for dev1 readiness just the same way ata_bus_post_reset() did. Now both soft and hard resets call ata_sff_wait_after_reset() after reset to wait for readiness after resets. As ata_sff_wait_after_reset() contains calls to ->sff_dev_select(), explicit call near the end of sata_sff_hardreset() is removed. This change makes reset implementation simpler and more consistent. While at it, make the magical 150ms wait post-reset wait duration a constant and ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset() take @link instead of @ap. This is to make them consistent with other reset helpers and ease core changes. pata_scc is updated accordingly. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

Separate out generic ATA portion from ata_sff_postreset() into ata_std_postreset() and implement ata_sff_postreset() using the std version. ata_base_port_ops now has ata_std_postreset() for its postreset and ata_sff_port_ops overrides it to ata_sff_postreset(). This change affects pdc_adma, ahci, sata_fsl and sata_sil24. pdc_adma now specifies postreset to ata_sff_postreset() explicitly. sata_fsl and sata_sil24 now use ata_std_postreset() which makes no difference to them. ahci now calls ata_std_postreset() from its own postreset method, which causes no behavior difference.

Separate out generic ATA portion from ata_sff_prereset() into ata_std_prereset() and implement ata_sff_prereset() using the std version. Waiting for device readiness is the only SFF specific part. ata_base_port_ops now has ata_std_prereset() for its prereset and ata_sff_port_ops overrides it to ata_sff_prereset(). This change can affect pdc_adma, ahci, sata_fsl and sata_sil24. pdc_adma implements its own prereset using ata_sff_prereset() and the rest has hardreset and thus are unaffected by this change. This change reflects real world situation. There is no generic way to wait for device readiness for non-SFF controllers and some of them don't have any mechanism for that. Non-sff drivers which don't have hardreset should wrap ata_std_prereset() and wait for device readiness itself but there's no such driver now and isn't likely to be popular in the future either.

Also, ata_sff_irq_clear() can handle both BMDMA and non-BMDMA SFF controllers.

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.

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 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: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

port_info->private_data is currently used for two purposes - to record private data about the port_info or to specify host->private_data to use when allocating ata_host. This overloading is confusing and counter-intuitive in that port_info->private_data becomes host->private_data instead of port->private_data. In addition, port_info and host don't correspond to each other 1-to-1. Currently, the first non-NULL port_info->private_data is used. This patch makes port_info->private_data just be what it is - private_data for the port_info where LLD can jot down extra info. libata no longer sets host->private_data to the first non-NULL port_info->private_data, @host_priv argument is added to ata_pci_init_one() instead. LLDs which use ata_pci_init_one() can use this argument to pass in pointer to host private data. LLDs which don't should use init-register model anyway and can initialize host->private_data directly. Adding @host_priv instead of using init-register model for LLDs which use ata_pci_init_one() is suggested by Alan Cox.

ata_pci_init_one() is the only function which uses ops->irq_handler and pi->sht. Other initialization functions take the same information as arguments. This causes confusion and duplicate unused entries in structures. Make ata_pci_init_one() take sht as an argument and use ata_interrupt implicitly. All current users use ata_interrupt and if different irq handler is necessary open coding ata_pci_init_one() using ata_prepare_sff_host() and ata_activate_sff_host can be done under ten lines including error handling and driver which requires custom interrupt handler is likely to require custom initialization anyway. As ata_pci_init_one() was the last user of ops->irq_handler, this patch also kills the field. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

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.

->irq_clear() is used to clear IRQ bit of a SFF controller and isn't useful for drivers which don't use libata SFF HSM implementation. However, it's a required callback and many drivers implement their own noop version as placeholder. This patch implements ata_noop_irq_clear and use it to replace those custom placeholders.

ata_ehi_schedule_probe() was created to hide details of link-resuming reset magic. Now that all the softreset workarounds are gone, scheduling probe is very simple - set probe_mask and request RESET. Kill ata_ehi_schedule_probe() and open code it. This also increases consistency as ata_ehi_schedule_probe() couldn't cover individual device probings so they were open-coded even when the helper existed. While at it, define ATA_ALL_DEVICES as mask of all possible devices on a link and always use it when requesting probe on link level for simplicity and consistency.

Some controllers can't reliably record the initial D2H FIS after SATA link is brought online for whatever reason. Advanced controllers which don't have traditional TF register based interface often have this problem as they don't really have the TF registers to update while the controller and link are being initialized. SKIP_D2H_BSY works around the problem by skipping the wait for device readiness before issuing SRST, so for such controllers libata issues SRST blindly and hopes for the best. Now that libata defaults to hardreset, this workaround is no longer necessary. For controllers which have support for hardreset, SRST is never issued by itself. It is only issued as follow-up SRST for device classification and PMP initialization, so there's no need to wait for it from prereset. Kill ATA_LFLAG_SKIP_D2H_BSY.

ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK has two functions - promote reset to hardreset if ATA_LFLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME is set and preventing EH from shortcutting reset action when probing is requested. The former is gone now and the latter can easily be achieved by making EH to perform at least one reset if reset is requested, which also makes more sense than depending on RESUME_LINK flag. As ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK was the only EHI reset modifier, this also kills reset modifier handling. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

When both soft and hard resets are available, libata preferred softreset till now. The logic behind it was to be softer to devices; however, this doesn't really help much. Rationales for the change: * BIOS may freeze lock certain things during boot and softreset can't unlock those. This by itself is okay but during operation PHY event or other error conditions can trigger hardreset and the device may end up with different configuration. For example, after a hardreset, previously unlockable HPA can be unlocked resulting in different device size and thus revalidation failure. Similar condition can occur during or after resume. * Certain ATAPI devices require hardreset to recover after certain error conditions. On PATA, this is done by issuing the DEVICE RESET command. On SATA, COMRESET has equivalent effect. The problem is that DEVICE RESET needs its own execution protocol. For SFF controllers with bare TF access, it can be easily implemented but more advanced controllers (e.g. ahci and sata_sil24) require specialized implementations. Simply using hardreset solves the problem nicely. * COMRESET initialization sequence is the norm in SATA land and many SATA devices don't work properly if only SRST is used. For example, some PMPs behave this way and libata works around by always issuing hardreset if the host supports PMP. Like the above example, libata has developed a number of mechanisms aiming to promote softreset to hardreset if softreset is not going to work. This approach is time consuming and error prone. Also, note that, dependingon how you read the specs, it could be argued that PMP fan-out ports require COMRESET to start operation. In fact, all the PMPs on the market except one don't work properly if COMRESET is not issued to fan-out ports after PMP reset. * COMRESET is an integral part of SATA connection and any working device should be able to handle COMRESET properly. After all, it's the way to signal hardreset during reboot. This is the most used and recommended (at least by the ahci spec) method of resetting devices. So, this patch makes libata prefer hardreset over softreset by making the following changes. * Rename ATA_EH_RESET_MASK to ATA_EH_RESET and use it whereever ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET used to be used. ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET is now only used to tell prereset whether soft or hard reset will be issued. * Strip out now unneeded promote-to-hardreset logics from ata_eh_reset(), ata_std_prereset(), sata_pmp_std_prereset() and other places.

Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros. I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits that actually implement it. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this. Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance protection can be easily tripped even on UP. Thanks to Balaji Rao for the bug report and testing.

The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.
