      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 port_info->sht and ->irq_handler · 95947193
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      libata: implement and use ops inheritance · 029cfd6b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Over the time, port info, ops and sht structures developed quite a bit
      of inconsistencies.  This patch updates drivers.
      
      * Enable/disable_pm callbacks added to all ahci ops tables.
      
      * Every driver for SFF controllers now uses ata_sff_port_start()
        instead of ata_port_start() unless the driver has custom
        implementation.

      * Removed an odd port_info->sht initialization from ata_piix.c.
        Likely a merge byproduct.
      
      * A port which has ATA_FLAG_SATA set doesn't need to set cable_detect
        to ata_cable_sata().  Remove it from via and mv port ops.
      
      * Some drivers had unnecessary .max_sectors initialization which is
        ignored and was missing .slave_destroy callback.  Fixed.
      
      * Removed unnecessary sht initializations port_info's.
      
      * Removed onsolete scsi device suspend/resume callbacks from
        pata_bf54x.
      
      * No reason to set ata_pci_default_filter() and bmdma functions for
        PIO-only drivers.  Remove those callbacks and replace
        ata_bmdma_irq_clear with ata_noop_irq_clear.
      
      * pata_platform sets port_start to ata_dummy_ret0.  port_start can
        just be set to NULL.

      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.

      This fixes some problems with ATAPI devices on nForce4 controllers in ADMA mode

      DMA mask until the PRD table and padding buffer are allocated so that they don't
      get allocated above 4GB and break legacy mode (which is needed for ATAPI
      devices). Also, if either port is in ATAPI mode we need to set the DMA mask
      for the PCI device to 32-bit to ensure that the IOMMU code properly bounces
      requests above 4GB, as it appears setting the bounce limit does not guarantee
      that we will not try to map requests above this point.

      sata_nv: fix for completion handling · a1fe7824
      Robert Hancock 提交于
      This patch is based on an original patch from Kuan Luo of NVIDIA,
      posted under subject "fixed a bug of adma in rhel4u5 with HDS7250SASUN500G".
      His description follows. I've reworked it a bit to avoid some unnecessary
      repeated checks but it should be functionally identical.
      
      "The patch is to solve the error message "ata1: CPB flags CMD err,
      flags=0x11" when testing HDS7250SASUN500G in rhel4u5.
      I tested this hd in 2.6.24-rc7 which needed to remove the mask in
      blacklist to run the ncq and the same error also showed up.
      
      I traced the  bug and found that the interrupt finished a command (for
      example, tag=0) when the driver got that adma status is
      NV_ADMA_STAT_DONE  and  cpb->resp_flags is NV_CPB_RESP_DONE.
      However, For this hd, the drive maybe didn't clear bit 0 at this moment.
      It meaned the hardware  had not completely finished the command.
      If at the same time  the driver freed the command(tag 0) and sended
      another command (tag 0), the error happened.
      
      The notifier register is 32-bit register containing notifier value.
      Value is bit vector containing one bit per tag number (0-31) in
      corresponding bit positions (bit 0 is for tag 0, etc). When bit is set
      then ADMA indicates that command with corresponding tag number completed
      execution.
      
      So i added the check notifier code. Sometimes i saw that the notifier
      reg set some bits  , but the adma status set NV_ADMA_STAT_CMD_COMPLETE
      ,not NV_ADMA_STAT_DONE. So i added the NV_ADMA_STAT_CMD_COMPLETE check
      code."

      libata-pmp-prep: implement ops->qc_defer() · 31cc23b3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Controllers which support PMP have various restrictions on which
      combinations of commands are allowed to what number of devices
      concurrently.  This patch implements ops->qc_defer() which determines
      whether a qc can be issued at the moment or should be deferred.
      
      If the function returns ATA_DEFER_LINK, the qc will be deferred until
      a qc completes on the link.  If ATA_DEFER_PORT, until a qc completes
      on any link.  The defer conditions are advisory and in general
      ATA_DEFER_LINK can be considered as lower priority deferring than
      ATA_DEFER_PORT.
      
      ops->qc_defer() replaces fixed ata_scmd_need_defer().  For standard
      NCQ/non-NCQ exclusion, ata_std_qc_defer() is implemented.  ahci and
      sata_sil24 are converted to use ata_std_qc_defer().
      
      ops->qc_defer() is heavier than the original mechanism because full qc
      is prepped before determining to defer it, but various information is
      needed to determine defer conditinos and fully translating a qc is the
      only way to supply such information in generic manner.
      
      IMHO, this shouldn't cause any noticeable performance issues as
      
      * for most cases deferring occurs rarely (except for NCQ-aware
        cmd-switching PMP)
      * translation itself isn't that expensive
      * once deferred the command won't be repeated until another command
        completes which usually is a very long time cpu-wise.

      ata_link instead of ata_port.
      
      This patch introduces no behavior change.

      libata: simplify PCI legacy SFF host handling · d583bc18
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With PCI resource fix up for legacy hosts.  We can use the same code
      path to allocate IO resources and initialize host for both legacy and
      native SFF hosts.  Only IRQ requesting needs to be different.
      
      Rename ata_pci_*_native_host() to ata_pci_*_sff_host(), kill all
      legacy specific functions and use the renamed functions instead.  This
      simplifies code a lot.

      libata: clean up SFF init mess · 1626aeb8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The intention of using port_mask in SFF init helpers was to eventually
      support exoctic configurations such as combination of legacy and
      native port on the same controller.  This never became actually
      necessary and the related code always has been subtly broken one way
      or the other.  Now that new init model is in place, there is no reason
      to make common helpers capable of handling all corner cases.  Exotic
      cases can simply dealt within LLDs as necessary.
      
      This patch removes port_mask handling in SFF init helpers.  SFF init
      helpers don't take n_ports argument and interpret it into port_mask
      anymore.  All information is carried via port_info.  n_ports argument
      is dropped and always two ports are allocated.  LLD can tell SFF to
      skip certain port by marking it dummy.  Note that SFF code has been
      treating unuvailable ports this way for a long time until recent
      breakage fix from Linus and is consistent with how other drivers
      handle with unavailable ports.
      
      This fixes 1-port legacy host handling still broken after the recent
      native mode fix and simplifies SFF init logic.  The following changes
      are made...
      
      * ata_pci_init_native_host() and ata_init_legacy_host() both now try
        to initialized whatever they can and mark failed ports dummy.  They
        return 0 if any port is successfully initialized.
      
      * ata_pci_prepare_native_host() and ata_pci_init_one() now doesn't
        take n_ports argument.  All info should be specified via port_info
        array.  Always two ports are allocated.
      
      * ata_pci_init_bmdma() exported to be used by LLDs in exotic cases.
      
      * port_info handling in all LLDs are standardized - all port_info
        arrays are const stack variable named ppi.  Unless the second port
        is different from the first, its port_info is specified as NULL
        (tells libata that it's identical to the last non-NULL port_info).
      
      * pata_hpt37x/hpt3x2n: don't modify static variable directly.  Make an
        on-stack copy instead as ata_piix does.
      
      * pata_uli: It has 4 ports instead of 2.  Don't use
        ata_pci_prepare_native_host().  Allocate the host explicitly and use
        init helpers.  It's simple enough.

      libata: reimplement suspend/resume support using sdev->manage_start_stop · 9666f400
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Reimplement suspend/resume support using sdev->manage_start_stop.
      
      * Device suspend/resume is now SCSI layer's responsibility and the
        code is simplified a lot.
      
      * DPM is dropped.  This also simplifies code a lot.  Suspend/resume
        status is port-wide now.
      
      * ata_scsi_device_suspend/resume() and ata_dev_ready() removed.
      
      * Resume now has to wait for disk to spin up before proceeding.  I
        couldn't find easy way out as libata is in EH waiting for the
        disk to be ready and sd is waiting for EH to complete to issue
        START_STOP.
      
      * sdev->manage_start_stop is set to 1 in ata_scsi_slave_config().
        This fixes spindown on shutdown and suspend-to-disk.

      sata_nv: fix ADMA freeze/thaw/irq_clear issues · 53014e25
      Robert Hancock 提交于
      This patch fixes some problems with ADMA-capable controllers with
      regard to freeze, thaw and irq_clear libata callbacks. Freeze and
      thaw didn't switch the ADMA-specific interrupts on or off, and more
      critically the irq_clear function didn't respect the restriction that
      the notifier clear registers for both ports have to be written at
      the same time even when only one port is being cleared. This could
      result in timeouts on one port when error handling (i.e. as a result
      of hotplug) occurred on the other port.
      
      As well, this fixes some issues in the interrupt handler: we shouldn't
      check any ADMA status if the port has ADMA switched off because of
      an ATAPI device, and it also checks to see if any ADMA interrupt has
      been raised even when we are in port-register mode.

      libata: add deadline support to prereset and reset methods · d4b2bab4
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Add @deadline to prereset and reset methods and make them honor it.
      ata_wait_ready() which directly takes @deadline is implemented to be
      used as the wait function.  This patch is in preparation for EH timing
      improvements.
      
      * ata_wait_ready() never does busy sleep.  It's only used from EH and
        no wait in EH is that urgent.  This function also prints 'be
        patient' message automatically after 5 secs of waiting if more than
        3 secs is remaining till deadline.
      
      * ata_bus_post_reset() now fails with error code if any of its wait
        fails.  This is important because earlier reset tries will have
        shorter timeout than the spec requires.  If a device fails to
        respond before the short timeout, reset should be retried with
        longer timeout rather than silently ignoring the device.
      
        There are three behavior differences.
      
        1. Timeout is applied to both devices at once, not separately.  This
           is more consistent with what the spec says.
      
        2. When a device passes devchk but fails to become ready before
           deadline.  Previouly, post_reset would just succeed and let
           device classification remove the device.  New code fails the
           reset thus causing reset retry.  After a few times, EH will give
           up disabling the port.
      
        3. When slave device passes devchk but fails to become accessible
           (TF-wise) after reset.  Original code disables dev1 after 30s
           timeout and continues as if the device doesn't exist, while the
           patched code fails reset.  When this happens, new code fails
           reset on whole port rather than proceeding with only the primary
           device.
      
        If the failing device is suffering transient problems, new code
        retries reset which is a better behavior.  If the failing device is
        actually broken, the net effect is identical to it, but not to the
        other device sharing the channel.  In the previous code, reset would
        have succeeded after 30s thus detecting the working one.  In the new
        code, reset fails and whole port gets disabled.  IMO, it's a
        pathological case anyway (broken device sharing bus with working
        one) and doesn't really matter.
      
      * ata_bus_softreset() is changed to return error code from
        ata_bus_post_reset().  It used to return 0 unconditionally.
      
      * Spin up waiting is to be removed and not converted to honor
        deadline.
      
      * To be on the safe side, deadline is set to 40s for the time being.
