There currently are the following looping constructs. * __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links * ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links * ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices * ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order Now there's a need for looping construct which is similar to __ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host link. Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following cleanup. * Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take @mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop. * Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take looping mode explicitly. The following iteration modes are implemented. * ATA_LITER_EDGE : loop over edge links * ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST : loop over all links, host link first * ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST : loop over all links, PMP links first * ATA_DITER_ENABLED : loop over enabled devices * ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE : loop over enabled devices in reverse order * ATA_DITER_ALL : loop over all devices * ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE : loop over all devices in reverse order This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.

ehc->last_reset is used to ensure that resets are not issued too close to each other. It's initialized to jiffies minus one minute on EH entry. However, when new links are initialized after PMP is probed, new links have zero for this timestamp resulting in long wait depending on the current jiffies. This patch makes last_set considered iff ATA_EHI_DID_RESET is set, in which case last_reset is always initialized. As an added precaution, WARN_ON() is added so that warning is printed if last_reset is in future. This problem is spotted and debugged by Shane Huang.

Reset methods don't have access to phys link status for slave links and may incorrectly indicate device presence causing unnecessary probe failures for unoccupied links. This patch clears device class to NONE during post-reset processing if phys link is offline.

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue.

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. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

As an optimization, follow-up SRST used to be skipped if classification wasn't requested even when hardreset requested it via -EAGAIN. However, some hardresets can't wait for device readiness and skipping SRST can cause timeout or other failures during revalidation. Always perform follow-up SRST if hardreset returns -EAGAIN. This makes reset paths more predictable and thus less error-prone. While at it, move hardreset error checking such that it's done right after hardreset is finished. This simplifies followup SRST condition check a bit and makes the reset path easier to modify. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

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 retries.

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. While at it, convert explicit rounding up division to DIV_ROUND_UP(). This change speeds up EH in many cases w/o sacrificing robustness.

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. While at it, drop now superflous _msec suffix from arguments and rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time rather than duration.

No reason to get overzealous about recovered comm and data errors. Some PHYs habitually sets them w/o no good reason and being draconian about these soft error conditions doesn't seem to help anybody. If need ever rises, we might need to add soft PHY error condition, say AC_ERR_MAYBE_ATA_BUS and use it only to determine whether speed down is necessary but I don't think that's very likely to happen.

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).

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.

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.

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.
