After certain errors, some devices report complete garbage on IDENTIFY. This can cause ata_dev_read_id() to fail with -EINVAL resulting in immediate disabling of the device. Give the device one last chance after -EINVAL to allow recovery from such situations. As -EINVAL is triggered very rarely, this shouldn't cause any noticeable affect on more common error paths.

It seems the world isn't as frank as we thought and some devices lie about who they are. Fallback to the other IDENTIFY if IDENTIFY is aborted by the device.

libata enables SCSI host during ATA host activation which happens after IRQ handler is registered and IRQ is enabled. All ATA ports are in frozen state when IRQ is enabled but frozen ports may raise limited number of IRQs after being frozen - IOW, ->freeze() is not responsible for clearing pending IRQs. During normal operation, the IRQ handler is responsible for clearing spurious IRQs on frozen ports and it usually doesn't require any extra code. Unfortunately, during host initialization, the IRQ handler can end up scheduling EH for a port whose SCSI host isn't initialized yet. This results in OOPS in the SCSI midlayer. This is relatively short window and scheduling EH for probing is the first thing libata does after initialization, so ignoring EH scheduling until initialization is complete solves the problem nicely. This problem was spotted by Berck E. Nash in the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/519412Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Berck E.

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. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming, some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so this double spinning down causes problem. This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which, when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down in all cases without modifying shutdown(8). shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be dangerous data integrity-wise. So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do. * Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat exists. If it does, write 0 to it. * For each libata harddisk { * Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk down as before. } The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without it. To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by hours of tireless usability testing).

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().

In case of reentrance i.e when a probe handler calls a functions which inturn has a probe, we save a previous kprobe information and just single step the reentrant probe without calling the actual probe handler. During this reentracy period, if an interrupt occurs and if probe happens to trigger in the inturrupt path, then we were corrupting the previous kprobe( as we were overriding the previous kprobe info) info their by crashing the system. This patch fixes this issues by having a an array of previous kprobe info struct(with the array size of 2). This similar technique is not needed on i386 and x86_64 because by default interrupts are turn off in the break/int3 exception handler.

During a 'resync' or similar activity, md checks if the devices in the array are otherwise active and winds back resync activity when they are. This test in done in is_mddev_idle, and it is somewhat fragile - it sometimes thinks there is non-sync io when there isn't. The test compares the total sectors of io (disk_stat_read) with the sectors of resync io (disk->sync_io). This has problems because total sectors gets updated when a request completes, while resync io gets updated when the request is submitted. The time difference can cause large differenced between the two which do not actually imply non-resync activity. The test currently allows for some fuzz (+/- 4096) but there are some cases when it is not enough. The test currently looks for any (non-fuzz) difference, either positive or negative. This clearly is not needed. Any non-sync activity will cause the total sectors to grow faster than the sync_io count (never slower) so we only need to look for a positive differences. If we do this then the amount of in-flight sync io will never cause the appearance of non-sync IO. Once enough non-sync IO to worry about starts happening, resync will be slowed down and the measurements will thus be more precise (as there is less in-flight) and control of resync will still be suitably responsive.

This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code, in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd. This patch uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass an eventfd file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time a request completes. At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the completed result to a struct io_event. I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it runs fine here: http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and epoll too. This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll. In a typical scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(), and will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that with the addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much complete), and then would: epoll_wait(...); for_each_event { if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) { aio_getevents(); dispatch_aio_events(); } else { dispatch_epoll_event(); } } Signed-off-by: NDavide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
