      libata: implement HORKAGE_1_5_GBPS and apply it to WD My Book · 9062712f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures.  It's usually
      okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some
      WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission
      failures and after it only power cycling can revive them.  Combined
      with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly
      which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender,
      this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain
      configurations virtually rendering them unusable.
      
      This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book
      such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified.
      
      Please take a look at the following bz for related reports.

      libata: add no penalty retry request for EH device handling routines · cf9a590a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Let -EAGAIN from EH device handling routines trigger EH retry without
      consuming its tries count.  This will be used to implement link SPD
      horkage which requires hardreset to adjust SPD without affecting other
      EH decisions.  As it bypasses the forward progress guarantee provided
      by the tries count, the requester is responsible for ensuring forward
      progress.

      libata: improve probe failure handling · c2c7a89c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      When link is flaky at high speed, it isn't uncommon for a device to
      repeatedly fail probing sequence early after successfully negotiating
      high link speed.  This often leads to consecutive hotplug events
      without successful probing.
      
      This patch improves libata EH such that it remembers probing trials
      and if there have been more than two unsuccessful trials in the past
      60 seconds, slows down link speed to 1.5Gbps.
      
      As link speed negotiation is the duty of the PHY layer proper, the
      goal of this fallback mechanism is to provide the last resort when
      everything else fails, which unfortunately happens not too
      infrequently, so no fancy 6->3->1.5 speeding down or highest
      successful transmission speed seen kind of logics (yet).

      libata: add @spd_limit to sata_down_spd_limit() · a07d499b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Add @spd_limit to sata_down_spd_limit() so that the caller can specify
      the SPD limit it wants.  This parameter doesn't get in the way even
      when it's too low.  The closest possible limit is applied.

      libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way · 99cf610a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in
      ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs.
      dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
      to remain persistent over multiple porbing events.  This patch
      achieves this by doing the following.
      
      * Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
        clear between BEGIN and END.  ering is moved after END.  The split
        of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.
      
      * ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
        attach succeeds.  So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
        time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
        inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
        of the next one.

      libata: check onlineness before using SPD in sata_down_spd_limit() · 9913ff8a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sata_down_spd_limit() should check whether the link is online before
      using the SPD value to determine how to limit the link speed.  Factor
      out onlineness test and test it from sata_down_spd_limit().
