      libata-eh: fix slave link EH action mask handling · a568d1d2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Slave link action mask is transferred to master link and all the EH
      actions are taken by the master link.  ata_eh_about_to_do() and
      ata_eh_done() are called with ATA_EH_ALL_ACTIONS to clear the slave
      link actions during transfer.  This always sets ATA_PFLAG_RECOVERED
      flag causing spurious "EH complete" messages.
      
      Don't set ATA_PFLAG_RECOVERED for slave link actions.

      libata: transfer EHI control flags to slave ehc.i · 848e4c68
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY and ATA_EHI_QUIET are used to control the behavior
      of EH.  As only the master link is visible outside EH, these flags are
      set only for the master link although they should also apply to the
      slave link, which causes spurious EH messages during probe and
      suspend/resume.
      
      This patch transfers those two flags to slave ehc.i before performing
      slave autopsy and reporting.

      libata-eh: clear UNIT ATTENTION after reset · 11fc33da
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Resets make ATAPI devices raise UNIT ATTENTION which fails the next
      command.  As resets can happen asynchronously for unrelated reasons,
      this sometimes disrupts innocent users.  For example, reading DVD
      fails after the system wakes up from suspend or the other device
      sharing the channel went through bus error.
      
      Clearing UA has some problems as it might clear UA which the userland
      needs to know about.  However, UA after resets can only be about the
      reset itself and benefits of clearing it overweights cons.  Missing UA
      can only delay failure to one of the following commands anyway.  For
      example, timeout while burning is in progress will trigger reset and
      reset the device state and probably corrupt the burning run.  Although
      the userland application won't get the UA, its pending writes will
      fail.

      libata: Implement disk shock protection support · 45fabbb7
      Elias Oltmanns 提交于
      On user request (through sysfs), the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with UNLOAD
      FEATURE as specified in ATA-7 is issued to the device and processing of
      the request queue is stopped thereafter until the specified timeout
      expires or user space asks to resume normal operation. This is supposed
      to prevent the heads of a hard drive from accidentally crashing onto the
      platter when a heavy shock is anticipated (like a falling laptop
      expected to hit the floor). In fact, the whole port stops processing
      commands until the timeout has expired in order to avoid any resets due
      to failed commands on another device.

      libata: implement slave_link · b1c72916
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Explanation taken from the comment of ata_slave_link_init().
      
       In libata, a port contains links and a link contains devices.  There
       is single host link but if a PMP is attached to it, there can be
       multiple fan-out links.  On SATA, there's usually a single device
       connected to a link but PATA and SATA controllers emulating TF based
       interface can have two - master and slave.
      
       However, there are a few controllers which don't fit into this
       abstraction too well - SATA controllers which emulate TF interface
       with both master and slave devices but also have separate SCR
       register sets for each device.  These controllers need separate links
       for physical link handling (e.g. onlineness, link speed) but should
       be treated like a traditional M/S controller for everything else
       (e.g. command issue, softreset).
      
       slave_link is libata's way of handling this class of controllers
       without impacting core layer too much.  For anything other than
       physical link handling, the default host link is used for both master
       and slave.  For physical link handling, separate @ap->slave_link is
       used.  All dirty details are implemented inside libata core layer.
       From LLD's POV, the only difference is that prereset, hardreset and
       postreset are called once more for the slave link, so the reset
       sequence looks like the following.
      
       prereset(M) -> prereset(S) -> hardreset(M) -> hardreset(S) ->
       softreset(M) -> postreset(M) -> postreset(S)
      
       Note that softreset is called only for the master.  Softreset resets
       both M/S by definition, so SRST on master should handle both (the
       standard method will work just fine).
      
      As slave_link excludes PMP support and only code paths which deal with
      the attributes of physical link are affected, all the changes are
      localized to libata.h, libata-core.c and libata-eh.c.
      
       * ata_is_host_link() updated so that slave_link is considered as host
         link too.
      
       * iterator extended to iterate over the slave_link when using the
         underbarred version.
      
       * force param handling updated such that devno 16 is mapped to the
         slave link/device.
      
       * ata_link_on/offline() updated to return the combined result from
         master and slave link.  ata_phys_link_on/offline() are the direct
         versions.
      
       * EH autopsy and report are performed separately for master slave
         links.  Reset is udpated to implement the above described reset
         sequence.
      
      Except for reset update, most changes are minor, many of them just
      modifying dev->link to ata_dev_phys_link(dev) or using phys online
      test instead.
      
      After this update, LLDs can take full advantage of per-dev SCR
      registers by simply turning on slave link.

      libata: improve EH internal command timeout handling · 87fbc5a0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      ATA_TMOUT_INTERNAL which was 30secs were used for all internal
      commands which is way too long when something goes wrong.  This patch
      implements command type based stepped timeouts.  Different command
      types can use different timeouts and each command type can use
      different timeout values after timeouts.
      
      ie. the initial timeout is set to a value which should cover most of
      the cases but not too long so that run away cases don't delay things
      too much.  After the first try times out, the second try can use
      longer timeout and if that one times out too, it can go for full 30sec
      timeout.
      
      IDENTIFYs use 5s - 10s - 30s timeout and all other commands use 5s -
      10s timeouts.
      
      This patch significantly cuts down the needed time to handle failure
      cases while still allowing libata to work with nut job devices through

      libata: improve EH retry delay handling · 0a2c0f56
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      EH retries were delayed by 5 seconds to ensure that resets don't occur
      back-to-back.  However, this 5 second delay is superflous or excessive
      in many cases.  For example, after IDENTIFY times out, there's no
      reason to wait five more seconds before retrying.
      
      This patch adds ehc->last_reset timestamp and record the timestamp for
      the last reset trial or success and uses it to space resets by
      ATA_EH_RESET_COOL_DOWN which is 5 secs and removes unconditional 5 sec
      sleeps.
      
      As this change makes inter-try waits often shorter and they're
      redundant in nature, this patch also removes the "retrying..."
      messages.

      libata: consistently use msecs for time durations · 341c2c95
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      libata has been using mix of jiffies and msecs for time druations.
      This is getting confusing.  As writing sub HZ values in jiffies is
      PITA and msecs_to_jiffies() can't be used as initializer, unify unit
      for all time durations to msecs.  So, durations are in msecs and
      deadlines are in jiffies.  ata_deadline() is added to compute deadline
      from a start time and duration in msecs.

      rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time
      rather than duration.

      libata: kill hotplug related race condition · f046519f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Originally, whole reset processing was done while the port is frozen
      and SError was cleared during @postreset().  This had two race
      conditions.  1: hotplug could occur after reset but before SError is
      cleared and libata won't know about it.  2: hotplug could occur after
      all the reset is complete but before the port is thawed.  As all
      events are cleared on thaw, the hotplug event would be lost.
      
      Commit ac371987 kills the first race
      by clearing SError during link resume but before link onlineness test.
      However, this doesn't fix race #2 and in some cases clearing SError
      after SRST is a good idea.
      
      This patch solves this problem by cross checking link onlineness with
      classification result after SError is cleared and port is thawed.
      Reset is retried if link is online but all devices attached to the
      link are unknown.  As all devices will be revalidated, this one-way
      check is enough to ensure that all devices are detected and
      revalidated reliably.
      
      This, luckily, also fixes the cases where host controller returns
      bogus status while harddrive is spinning up after hotplug making
      classification run before the device sends the first FIS and thus
      causes misdetection.
      
      Low level drivers can bypass the logic by setting class explicitly to
      ATA_DEV_NONE if ever necessary (currently none requires this).

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Previously reset freeze/thaw handling lived outside of ata_eh_reset()

      This patch moves freeze/thaw handling into ata_eh_reset().

      libata: implement ATA_QCFLAG_RETRY · 03faab78
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently whether a command should be retried after failure is
      determined inside ata_eh_finish().  Add ATA_QCFLAG_RETRY and move the
      logic into ata_eh_autopsy().  This makes things clearer and helps
      extending retry determination logic.

      libata: make reset related methods proper port operations · a1efdaba
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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: kill ata_ehi_schedule_probe() · b558eddd
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.  Setting extra bits in the probe_mask
      doesn't hurt anybody.

      libata: kill ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK · 672b2d65
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      libata: prefer hardreset · cf480626
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      including cable type, SATA PHY SPD limit, transfer mode and NCQ.
      
      For example, you can say "use 1.5Gbps for all fan-out ports attached
      to the second port but allow 3.0Gbps for the PMP device itself, oh,
      the device attached to the third fan-out port chokes on NCQ and
