2009-10-16libata: fix PMP initializationTejun Heo
Commit 842faa6c1a1d6faddf3377948e5cf214812c6c90 fixed error handling during attach by not committing detected device class to dev->class while attaching a new device. However, this change missed the PMP class check in the configuration loop causing a new PMP device to go through ata_dev_configure() as if it were an ATA or ATAPI device. As PMP device doesn't have a regular IDENTIFY data, this makes ata_dev_configure() tries to configure a PMP device using an invalid data. For the most part, it wasn't too harmful and went unnoticed but this ends up clearing dev->flags which may have ATA_DFLAG_AN set by sata_pmp_attach(). This means that SATA_PMP_FEAT_NOTIFY ends up being disabled on PMPs and on PMPs which honor the flag breaks hotplug support. This problem was discovered and reported by Ethan Hsiao.

2009-10-06libata: fix incorrect link online check during probeTejun Heo
While trying to work around spurious detection retries for non-existent devices on slave links, commit 816ab89782ac139a8b65147cca990822bb7e8675 incorrectly added link offline check logic before ata_eh_thaw() was called. This means that if an occupied link goes down briefly at the time that offline check was performed, device class will be cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE and libata wouldn't retry thus failing detection of the device. The offline check should be done after the port is thawed together with online check so that such link glitches can be detected by the interrupt handler and handled properly.

2009-09-01libata: add command name parsing for error outputRobert Hancock
This patch improve libata's output for error/notification messages to allow easier comprehension and debugging: When ATAPI commands issued through the SCSI layer fail, use SCSI functions to print the CDB in human-readable form instead of just dumping out the CDB in hex. Print out the name of the failed command (as defined by the ATA specification) in error handling output along with the raw register contents. When reporting status of ACPI taskfile commands executed on resume, also output the names of the commands being executed (or not) in readable form. Since the extra data for printing command names increases kernel size slightly, a config option has been added to allow disabling command name output (as well as some of the error register parsing) for those highly sensitive to kernel text size.

2009-05-11libata: fix attach error handlingTejun Heo
New device attach path in ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach() is divided into two separate loops because ATA requires IDENTIFY to be issued to slave first while the user expects to see device probe messages from the master device. new_mask is used to track which devices are the new ones between the first loop and the second. This usually works well but if an error occurs during configuration stage, ata_dev_revalidate_and_attach() returns with error code and forgets new_mask. On the retry run, dev->class is set and new_mask for the device is clear, so the device just gets revalidated and thus ends up skipping post-configuration procedure including scheduling of SCSI_HOTPLUG for the device. When this occurs, ATA part of probing works fine but SCSI probing usually doesn't happen and makes the device unreachable. The behavior has been around for a very long time but it has been uncovered with the recent addition of 1_5_GBPS horkage which uses -EAGAIN return value from ata_dev_configure() to restart the probing sequence after forcing cable speed. This can be fixed by making sure dev->class is permanently set only after all configurations are successfully complete. Fix it.

2009-03-05libata: make sure port is thawed when skipping resetsTejun Heo
When SCR access is available and the link is offline, softreset is skipped as it only wastes time and some controllers don't respond very well. However, the skip path forgot to thaw the port, which not only blocks further event notification from the port but also causes repeated EH invocations on the same event on drivers which rely on ->thaw() to clear events if the IRQ is shared with another device or port. This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR access. nf2/3 doesn't clear hotplug event mask from the interrupt handler but relies on ->thaw() to clear them. When the hardreset was there, the reset action was never skipped and the port was always thawed but, with the hardreset gone, ->prereset() determines that there's no need for softreset and both ->softreset() and ->thaw() are skipped. This leads to stuck hotplug event in the IRQ status register triggering hotplug event whenever IRQ is delieverd on the same IRQ. As the controller shares the same IRQ for both ports, this happens on every IO if one port is occpupied and the other isn't. This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the port is thawed on reset-skip path. bko#11615 reports this problem.

2009-02-02libata: improve probe failure handlingTejun Heo
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).

2009-02-02libata: clear dev->ering in smarter wayTejun Heo

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.

Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following cleanup. * Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take @mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop. * Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take looping mode explicitly.

ehc->last_reset is used to ensure that resets are not issued too close to each other. It's initialized to jiffies minus one minute on EH entry. However, when new links are initialized after PMP is probed, new links have zero for this timestamp resulting in long wait depending on the current jiffies. This patch makes last_set considered iff ATA_EHI_DID_RESET is set, in which case last_reset is always initialized. As an added precaution, WARN_ON() is added so that warning is printed if last_reset is in future. This problem is spotted and debugged by Shane Huang.

2008-09-29libata-eh: clear UNIT ATTENTION after resetTejun Heo
Resets make ATAPI devices raise UNIT ATTENTION which fails the next command. As resets can happen asynchronously for unrelated reasons, this sometimes disrupts innocent users. For example, reading DVD fails after the system wakes up from suspend or the other device sharing the channel went through bus error. Clearing UA has some problems as it might clear UA which the userland needs to know about. However, UA after resets can only be about the reset itself and benefits of clearing it overweights cons. Missing UA can only delay failure to one of the following commands anyway. For example, timeout while burning is in progress will trigger reset and reset the device state and probably corrupt the burning run. Although the userland application won't get the UA, its pending writes will fail. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-09-29libata: Implement disk shock protection supportElias Oltmanns
On user request (through sysfs), the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with UNLOAD FEATURE as specified in ATA-7 is issued to the device and processing of the request queue is stopped thereafter until the specified timeout expires or user space asks to resume normal operation. This is supposed to prevent the heads of a hard drive from accidentally crashing onto the platter when a heavy shock is anticipated (like a falling laptop expected to hit the floor). In fact, the whole port stops processing commands until the timeout has expired in order to avoid any resets due to failed commands on another device.

2008-09-29libata: implement slave_linkTejun Heo
Explanation taken from the comment of ata_slave_link_init(). In libata, a port contains links and a link contains devices. There is single host link but if a PMP is attached to it, there can be multiple fan-out links. On SATA, there's usually a single device connected to a link but PATA and SATA controllers emulating TF based interface can have two - master and slave. However, there are a few controllers which don't fit into this abstraction too well - SATA controllers which emulate TF interface with both master and slave devices but also have separate SCR register sets for each device. These controllers need separate links for physical link handling (e.g. onlineness, link speed) but should be treated like a traditional M/S controller for everything else (e.g. command issue, softreset). slave_link is libata's way of handling this class of controllers without impacting core layer too much. For anything other than physical link handling, the default host link is used for both master and slave. For physical link handling, separate @ap->slave_link is used. All dirty details are implemented inside libata core layer. From LLD's POV, the only difference is that prereset, hardreset and postreset are called once more for the slave link, so the reset sequence looks like the following. prereset(M) -> prereset(S) -> hardreset(M) -> hardreset(S) -> softreset(M) -> postreset(M) -> postreset(S) Note that softreset is called only for the master. Softreset resets both M/S by definition, so SRST on master should handle both (the standard method will work just fine). As slave_link excludes PMP support and only code paths which deal with the attributes of physical link are affected, all the changes are localized to libata.h, libata-core.c and libata-eh.c. * ata_is_host_link() updated so that slave_link is considered as host link too. * iterator extended to iterate over the slave_link when using the underbarred version. * force param handling updated such that devno 16 is mapped to the slave link/device. * ata_link_on/offline() updated to return the combined result from master and slave link. ata_phys_link_on/offline() are the direct versions. * EH autopsy and report are performed separately for master slave links. Reset is udpated to implement the above described reset sequence. Except for reset update, most changes are minor, many of them just modifying dev->link to ata_dev_phys_link(dev) or using phys online test instead. After this update, LLDs can take full advantage of per-dev SCR registers by simply turning on slave link. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

However, some hardresets can't wait for device readiness and skipping SRST can cause timeout or other failures during revalidation. Always perform follow-up SRST if hardreset returns -EAGAIN.

2008-07-14libata: improve EH internal command timeout handlingTejun Heo
ATA_TMOUT_INTERNAL which was 30secs were used for all internal commands which is way too long when something goes wrong. This patch implements command type based stepped timeouts. Different command types can use different timeouts and each command type can use different timeout values after timeouts. ie. the initial timeout is set to a value which should cover most of the cases but not too long so that run away cases don't delay things too much. After the first try times out, the second try can use longer timeout and if that one times out too, it can go for full 30sec timeout. IDENTIFYs use 5s - 10s - 30s timeout and all other commands use 5s - 10s timeouts.

EH retries were delayed by 5 seconds to ensure that resets don't occur back-to-back. However, this 5 second delay is superflous or excessive in many cases. For example, after IDENTIFY times out, there's no reason to wait five more seconds before retrying. This patch adds ehc->last_reset timestamp and record the timestamp for the last reset trial or success and uses it to space resets by ATA_EH_RESET_COOL_DOWN which is 5 secs and removes unconditional 5 sec sleeps. As this change makes inter-try waits often shorter and they're redundant in nature, this patch also removes the "retrying..." messages.

2008-05-19libata: ignore recovered PHY errorsTejun Heo
No reason to get overzealous about recovered comm and data errors. Some PHYs habitually sets them w/o no good reason and being draconian about these soft error conditions doesn't seem to help anybody. If need ever rises, we might need to add soft PHY error condition, say AC_ERR_MAYBE_ATA_BUS and use it only to determine whether speed down is necessary but I don't think that's very likely to happen. It's far more likely we'll get timeouts or fatal transmission errors if recovered errors are so prominent that they hamper operation.

2008-05-19libata: kill hotplug related race conditionTejun Heo
Originally, whole reset processing was done while the port is frozen and SError was cleared during @postreset(). This had two race conditions. 1: hotplug could occur after reset but before SError is cleared and libata won't know about it. 2: hotplug could occur after all the reset is complete but before the port is thawed. As all events are cleared on thaw, the hotplug event would be lost. Commit ac371987a81c61c2efbd6931245cdcaf43baad89 kills the first race by clearing SError during link resume but before link onlineness test. However, this doesn't fix race #2 and in some cases clearing SError after SRST is a good idea. This patch solves this problem by cross checking link onlineness with classification result after SError is cleared and port is thawed. Reset is retried if link is online but all devices attached to the link are unknown. As all devices will be revalidated, this one-way check is enough to ensure that all devices are detected and revalidated reliably. This, luckily, also fixes the cases where host controller returns bogus status while harddrive is spinning up after hotplug making classification run before the device sends the first FIS and thus causes misdetection. Low level drivers can bypass the logic by setting class explicitly to ATA_DEV_NONE if ever necessary (currently none requires this).

2008-05-19libata: move reset freeze/thaw handling into ata_eh_reset()Tejun Heo
Previously reset freeze/thaw handling lived outside of ata_eh_reset() mainly because the original PMP reset code needed the port frozen while resetting all the fan-out ports, which is no longer the case. This patch moves freeze/thaw handling into ata_eh_reset(). @prereset() and @postreset() are now called w/o freezing the port although @prereset() an be called frozen if the port is frozen prior to entering ata_eh_reset(). This makes code simpler and will help removing hotplug event related races. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-05-19libata: reorganize ata_eh_reset() no reset method pathTejun Heo
Reorganize ata_eh_reset() such that @prereset() is called even when no reset method is available and if block is used instead of goto to skip actual reset. This makes no reset case behave better (readiness wait) and future changes easier. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2008-04-25libata-eh set tf flags in NCQ EH result_tfMark Lord
Fix mis-reporting of NCQ errors by ensuring that result_tf->flags is properly initialized in libata-eh. This allows ata_gen_ata_sense() to report the failed block number correctly to SCSI after a media error during NCQ. This patch may also be a candidate for backporting to earlier kernels. Without this fix, SCSI will fail I/O on the entire request rather than just the bad sector. That can be bad for a request that was merged from many independent read reads from different tasks.

2008-04-17libata: make EH fail gracefully if no reset method is availableTejun Heo
When no reset method is available, libata currently oopses. Although the condition can't happen unless there's a bug in a low level driver, oopsing isn't the best way to report the error condition. Complain, dump stack and fail reset instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-04-17libata: move link onlineness check out of softreset methodsTejun Heo
Currently, SATA softresets should do link onlineness check before actually performing SRST protocol but it doesn't really belong to softreset. This patch moves onlineness check in softreset to ata_eh_reset() and ata_eh_followup_srst_needed() to clean up code and help future sata_mv changes which need clear separation between SCR and TF accesses. sata_fsl is peculiar in that its softreset really isn't softreset but combination of hardreset and softreset. This patch adds dummy private ->prereset to keep the current behavior but the driver really should implement separate hard and soft resets and return -EAGAIN from hardreset if it should be follwed by softreset.

2008-04-17libata: kill dead code paths in reset pathTejun Heo
Some code paths which had been made obsolete by recent reset simplification were still around. Kill them. * ata_eh_reset() checked for ATA_DEV_UNKNOWN to determine classification failure. This is no longer applicable. * ata_do_reset() should convert ATA_DEV_UNKNOWN to ATA_DEV_NONE regardless of reset result (e.g. -EAGAIN). * LLDs don't need to convert ATA_DEV_UNKNOWN to ATA_DEV_NONE.
