      sata_nv: don't rely on NV_INT_DEV indication with ADMA · f740d168
      Robert Hancock 提交于
      Several people reported issues with certain drive commands timing out on
      sata_nv controllers running in ADMA mode. The commands in question were
      non-DMA-mapped commands, usually FLUSH CACHE or FLUSH CACHE EXT.
      
       From experimentation it appears that the NV_INT_DEV indication isn't
      always set when a legitimate command completion interrupt is received on
      a legacy-mode command, at least not on these controllers in ADMA mode.
      When a command is pending on the port, force the flag on always in the
      irq_stat value before calling nv_host_intr so that the drive busy state
      is always checked by ata_host_intr.
      
      This also fixes some questionable code in nv_host_intr which called
      ata_check_status when a command was pending and ata_host_intr returned
      "unhandled". If the device interrupted at just the wrong time this could
      cause interrupts to be lost.

      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_nv, spurious interrupts at system startup with MAXTOR 6H500F0 drive · b887030a
      Andrew Chew 提交于
      This patch works around a problem with spurious interrupts seen at boot time when
      a MAXTOR 6H500F0 drive is present.  An ATA interrupt condition is mysteriously
      present at start of day.  If we took too long in issuing the first command,
      the kernel would basically get tired of the spurious interrupts and turn the interrupt
      off.  Issuing the first command essentially causes the interrupt condition to
      get acknowledged.
      
      I haven't seen this happen with any other drives.
      
      What I basically do is ack ATA status by reading it regardless of whether we're
      expecting to have to handle an interrupt.  This clears the start-of-day anomalous
      interrupt condition, and keeps the kernel from disabling that interrupt due to
      too many spurious interrupts.
      
      Also, I fixed a bug where hotplug interrupts weren't getting acknowledged as handled
      in the ISR.  This was not the cause of the spurious interrupts, but it's the right
      thing to do anyway.
