      libata: take advantage of cmwq and remove concurrency limitations · ad72cf98
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      libata has two concurrency related limitations.
      
      a. ata_wq which is used for polling PIO has single thread per CPU.  If
         there are multiple devices doing polling PIO on the same CPU, they
         can't be executed simultaneously.
      
      b. ata_aux_wq which is used for SCSI probing has single thread.  In
         cases where SCSI probing is stalled for extended period of time
         which is possible for ATAPI devices, this will stall all probing.
      
      #a is solved by increasing maximum concurrency of ata_wq.  Please note
      that polling PIO might be used under allocation path and thus needs to
      be served by a separate wq with a rescuer.
      
      #b is solved by using the default wq instead and achieving exclusion
      via per-port mutex.

      libata-sff: separate out BMDMA EH · fe06e5f9
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Some of error handling logic in ata_sff_error_handler() and all of
      ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() are for BMDMA.  Create
      ata_bmdma_error_handler() and ata_bmdma_post_internal_cmd() and move
      BMDMA part into those.
      
      While at it, change DMA protocol check to ata_is_dma(), fix
      post_internal_cmd to call ap->ops->bmdma_stop instead of directly
      calling ata_bmdma_stop() and open code hardreset selection so that
      ata_std_error_handler() doesn't have to know about sff hardreset.
      
      As these two functions are BMDMA specific, there's no reason to check
      for bmdma_addr before calling bmdma methods if the protocol of the
      failed command is DMA.  sata_mv and pata_mpc52xx now don't need to set
      .post_internal_cmd to ATA_OP_NULL and pata_icside and sata_qstor don't
      need to set it to their bmdma_stop routines.
      
      ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() becomes noop and is removed.
      
      This fixes p3 described in clean-up-BMDMA-initialization patch.

      libata-sff: port_task is SFF specific · c429137a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      port_task is tightly bound to the standard SFF PIO HSM implementation.
      Using it for any other purpose would be error-prone and there's no
      such user and if some drivers need such feature, it would be much
      better off using its own.  Move it inside CONFIG_ATA_SFF and rename it
      to sff_pio_task.
      
      The only function which is exposed to the core layer is
      ata_sff_flush_pio_task() which is renamed from ata_port_flush_task()
      and now also takes care of resetting hsm_task_state to HSM_ST_IDLE,
      which is possible as it's now specific to PIO HSM.

      libata: retry failed FLUSH if device didn't fail it · 6013efd8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      If ATA device failed FLUSH, it means that the device failed to write
      out some amount of data and the error needs to be reported to upper
      layers. As retries can't recover the lost data, FLUSH failures need to
      be reported immediately in general.
      
      However, if FLUSH fails due to transmission errors, the FLUSH needs to
      be retried; otherwise, filesystems may switch to RO mode and/or raid
      array may drop a drive for a random transmission glitch.
      
      This condition can be rather easily reproduced on certain ahci
      controllers which go through a PHY event after powersave mode switch +
      ext4 combination.  Powersave mode switch is often closely followed by
      flush from the filesystem failing the FLUSH with ATA bus error which
      makes the filesystem code believe that data is lost and drop to RO
      mode.  This was reported in the following bugzilla bug.
      
        http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14543
      
      This patch makes libata EH retry FLUSH if it wasn't failed by the
      device.

      libata: fix PMP initialization · 4f7c2874
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Commit 842faa6c fixed error handling
      during attach by not committing detected device class to dev->class
      while attaching a new device.  However, this change missed the PMP
      class check in the configuration loop causing a new PMP device to go
      through ata_dev_configure() as if it were an ATA or ATAPI device.
      
      As PMP device doesn't have a regular IDENTIFY data, this makes
      ata_dev_configure() tries to configure a PMP device using an invalid
      data.  For the most part, it wasn't too harmful and went unnoticed but
      this ends up clearing dev->flags which may have ATA_DFLAG_AN set by
      sata_pmp_attach().  This means that SATA_PMP_FEAT_NOTIFY ends up being
      disabled on PMPs and on PMPs which honor the flag breaks hotplug
      support.

      libata: fix incorrect link online check during probe · 3b761d3d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      While trying to work around spurious detection retries for
      non-existent devices on slave links, commit
      816ab897 incorrectly added link
      offline check logic before ata_eh_thaw() was called.  This means that
      if an occupied link goes down briefly at the time that offline check
      was performed, device class will be cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE and libata
      wouldn't retry thus failing detection of the device.
      
      The offline check should be done after the port is thawed together
      with online check so that such link glitches can be detected by the
      interrupt handler and handled properly.

      libata: add command name parsing for error output · 6521148c
      Robert Hancock 提交于
      This patch improve libata's output for error/notification messages
      to allow easier comprehension and debugging:
      
      When ATAPI commands issued through the SCSI layer fail, use SCSI
      functions to print the CDB in human-readable form instead of just
      dumping out the CDB in hex.
      
      Print out the name of the failed command (as defined by the ATA
      specification) in error handling output along with the raw register
      contents.
      
      When reporting status of ACPI taskfile commands executed on resume,
      also output the names of the commands being executed (or not) in
      readable form.
      
      Since the extra data for printing command names increases kernel
      size slightly, a config option has been added to allow disabling
      command name output (as well as some of the error register parsing)
      for those highly sensitive to kernel text size.

      libata: fix attach error handling · 842faa6c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      New device attach path in ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach() is divided
      into two separate loops because ATA requires IDENTIFY to be issued to
      slave first while the user expects to see device probe messages from
      the master device.  new_mask is used to track which devices are the
      new ones between the first loop and the second.
      
      This usually works well but if an error occurs during configuration
      stage, ata_dev_revalidate_and_attach() returns with error code and
      forgets new_mask.  On the retry run, dev->class is set and new_mask
      for the device is clear, so the device just gets revalidated and thus
      ends up skipping post-configuration procedure including scheduling of
      SCSI_HOTPLUG for the device.  When this occurs, ATA part of probing
      works fine but SCSI probing usually doesn't happen and makes the
      device unreachable.
      
      The behavior has been around for a very long time but it has been
      uncovered with the recent addition of 1_5_GBPS horkage which uses
      -EAGAIN return value from ata_dev_configure() to restart the probing
      sequence after forcing cable speed.
      
      This can be fixed by making sure dev->class is permanently set only
      after all configurations are successfully complete.  Fix it.

      libata: make sure port is thawed when skipping resets · d6515e6f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      When SCR access is available and the link is offline, softreset is
      skipped as it only wastes time and some controllers don't respond very
      well.  However, the skip path forgot to thaw the port, which not only
      blocks further event notification from the port but also causes
      repeated EH invocations on the same event on drivers which rely on
      ->thaw() to clear events if the IRQ is shared with another device or
      port.
      
      This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv
      nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR
      access.  nf2/3 doesn't clear hotplug event mask from the interrupt
      handler but relies on ->thaw() to clear them.  When the hardreset was
      there, the reset action was never skipped and the port was always
      thawed but, with the hardreset gone, ->prereset() determines that
      there's no need for softreset and both ->softreset() and ->thaw() are
      skipped.  This leads to stuck hotplug event in the IRQ status register
      triggering hotplug event whenever IRQ is delieverd on the same IRQ.
      As the controller shares the same IRQ for both ports, this happens on
      every IO if one port is occpupied and the other isn't.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the port is thawed on
      reset-skip path.

      When link is flaky at high speed, it isn't uncommon for a device to

      60 seconds, slows down link speed to 1.5Gbps.

      goal of this fallback mechanism is to provide the last resort when

        of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.

        attach succeeds.  So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
        time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods

        of the next one.

      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.

      libata: set device class to NONE if phys_offline · 816ab897
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.
      
      As on/offlineness semantics is strictly defined and used in multiple
      places by the core layer, this won't change behavior for drivers which
      don't use slave links.

      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.
