      libata: update libata LLDs to use devres · 24dc5f33
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Update libata LLDs to use devres.  Core layer is already converted to
      support managed LLDs.  This patch simplifies initialization and fixes
      many resource related bugs in init failure and detach path.  For
      example, all converted drivers now handle ata_device_add() failure
      gracefully without excessive resource rollback code.
      
      As most resources are released automatically on driver detach, many
      drivers don't need or can do with much simpler ->{port|host}_stop().
      In general, stop callbacks are need iff port or host needs to be given
      commands to shut it down.  Note that freezing is enough in many cases
      and ports are automatically frozen before being detached.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      libata: Grand renaming. · cca3974e
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      The biggest change is that ata_host_set is renamed to ata_host.
      
      * ata_host_set			=> ata_host
      * ata_probe_ent->host_flags	=> ata_probe_ent->port_flags
      * ata_probe_ent->host_set_flags	=> ata_probe_ent->_host_flags
      * ata_host_stats		=> ata_port_stats
      * ata_port->host		=> ata_port->scsi_host
      * ata_port->host_set		=> ata_port->host
      * ata_port_info->host_flags	=> ata_port_info->flags
      * ata_(.*)host_set(.*)\(\)	=> ata_\1host\2()
      
      The leading underscore in ata_probe_ent->_host_flags is to avoid
      reusing ->host_flags for different purpose.  Currently, the only user
      of the field is libata-bmdma.c and probe_ent itself is scheduled to be
      removed.
      
      ata_port->host is reused for different purpose but this field is used
      inside libata core proper and of different type.

      [PATCH] sata_mv: three bug fixes · 63af2a5c
      Mark Lord 提交于
      (1) A DMA transfer size of 0x10000 was not being written
      as 0x0000 in the PRDs.  Fixed.
      
      (1) The DEV_IRQ interrupt cause bit happens spuriously
      during EDMA operation, and was not being ignored by the driver.
      This led to various "drive busy" errors being reported,
      with associated unpredictable behaviour.  Fixed.
      
      (2) If a SATA or PCI interrupt was received with no outstanding
      command, the interrupt handler still attempted to invoke
      ata_qc_complete(), triggering assert()/BUG_ON() behaviour
      elsewhere in libata.  Fixed.
      
      The driver still has issues with confusion after error-recovery,
      but should now  be reliable in the absence of drive errors.
      I will be looking more into the error-handling bugs next.

      [libata sata_mv] do not enable PCI MSI by default · ddef9bb3
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      Several bug reports have come in, noting that disabling CONFIG_PCI_MSI
      has fixed their problems with this driver.  This may be generic system
      issues, but there is also the probability of unimplemented hardware
      errata workarounds.  Until this ream of bug reports is sorted out, we
      can get them going in non-MSI interrupt mode.
      
      As such, this change adds an 'msi' module option, which defaults to off.
