      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_LFLAG_SKIP_D2H_BSY · 8cebf274
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Some controllers can't reliably record the initial D2H FIS after SATA
      link is brought online for whatever reason.  Advanced controllers
      which don't have traditional TF register based interface often have
      this problem as they don't really have the TF registers to update
      while the controller and link are being initialized.
      
      SKIP_D2H_BSY works around the problem by skipping the wait for device
      readiness before issuing SRST, so for such controllers libata issues
      SRST blindly and hopes for the best.
      
      Now that libata defaults to hardreset, this workaround is no longer
      necessary.  For controllers which have support for hardreset, SRST is
      never issued by itself.  It is only issued as follow-up SRST for
      device classification and PMP initialization, so there's no need to
      wait for it from prereset.
      
      Kill ATA_LFLAG_SKIP_D2H_BSY.

      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.

      Now that hardreset is the preferred method of resetting, there's no
      need for ATA_LFLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME flag.  Kill it.

      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.
