2007-07-24[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedefJens Axboe
Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with the proper type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-20libata: improve SCSI scan failure handlingTejun Heo
SCSI scan may fail due to memory allocation failure even if EH is not in progress. Due to use of GFP_ATOMIC in SCSI scan path, allocation failure isn't too rare especially while probing multiple devices at once which is the case when a bunch of devices are connected to PMP. This patch moves SCSI scan failure detetion logic from ata_scsi_hotplug() to ata_scsi_scan_host() and implement synchronous scan behavior. The synchronous path sleeps briefly and repeats SCSI scan if some devices aren't attached properly. It contains robust retry loop to minimize the chance of device misdetection during boot and falls back to async retry if everything fails.

2007-05-17libata: remove libata.spindown_compatTejun Heo
With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't necessary anymore. If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata warns. If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does the right thing. Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

2007-05-16libata: track spindown status and skip spindown_compat if possibleTejun Heo
Our assumption that most distros issue STANDBYNOW seems wrong. The upstream sysvinit and thus many distros including gentoo and opensuse don't take any action for libata disks on spindown. We can skip compat handling for these distros so that they don't need to update anything to take advantage of kernel-side shutdown.

2007-05-16libata: fix shutdown warning message printingTejun Heo
Unlocking ap->lock and ssleeping don't work because SCSI commands can be issued from completion path without context. Reimplement delayed completion by allowing translation functions to override qc->scsidone(), storing the original completion function to scmd->scsi_done() and overriding qc->scsidone() with a function which schedules delayed invocation of scmd->scsi_done(). This isn't pretty at all but all the ugly parts are thankfully contained in the stop translation path where the compat feature is implemented.

2007-05-11libata: implement libata.spindown_compatTejun Heo
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).

2007-05-11libata: reimplement suspend/resume support using sdev->manage_start_stopTejun Heo
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().

2007-04-28libata: separate out ata_host_alloc() and ata_host_register()Tejun Heo
Reorganize ata_host_alloc() and its subroutines into the following three functions. * ata_host_alloc() : allocates host and its ports. shost is not registered automatically. * ata_scsi_add_hosts() : allocates and adds shosts associated with an ATA host. Used by ata_host_register(). * ata_host_register() : takes a fully initialized ata_host structure and registers it to libata layer and probes it. Only ata_host_alloc() and ata_host_register() are exported. ata_device_add() is rewritten using the above functions. This patch does not introduce any observable behavior change. Things worth mentioning. * print_id is assigned at registration time and LLDs are allowed to overallocate ports and reduce host->n_ports during initialization. ata_host_register() will throw away unused ports automatically. * All SCSI host initialization stuff now resides in ata_scsi_add_hosts() in libata-scsi.c, where it should be. * ipr is now the only user of ata_host_init(). Either kill it by converting ipr to use ata_host_alloc() and friends or rename and move it to libata-scsi.c Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-04-28libata: add support for READ/WRITE LONGMark Lord
The READ/WRITE LONG commands are theoretically obsolete, but the majority of drives in existance still implement them. The WRITE_LONG and WRITE_LONG_ONCE commands are of particular interest for fault injection testing -- eg. creating "media errors" at specific locations on a disk. The fussy bit is that these commands require a non-standard sector size, usually 520 bytes instead of 512. This patch adds support to libata for READ/WRITE LONG commands issued via SG_IO/ATA_16.

2007-02-21libata: s/ap->id/ap->print_id/gTejun Heo
ata_port has two different id fields - id and port_no. id is system-wide 1-based unique id for the port while port_no is 0-based host-wide port number. The former is primarily used to identify the ATA port to the user in printk messages while the latter is used in various places in libata core and LLDs to index the port inside the host. The two fields feel quite similar and sometimes ap->id is used in place of ap->port_no, which is very difficult to spot. This patch renames ap->id to ap->print_id to reduce the possibility of such bugs. Some printk messages are adjusted such that id string (ata%u[.%u]) isn't printed twice and/or to use ata_*_printk() instead of hardcoded id format.

2007-02-21libata: fix probe_ent alloc/free bugsTejun Heo
ata_probe_ent_alloc() had a temporary hack such that devm_kzalloc() was used for allocation if devres had been previously initialized on the device; otherwise, plain kzalloc() was used. This was to make the code useable from both the old and devres-aware libata drivers during transition. This hack made ata_sas_port_alloc() unable to determine how the probe_ent is allocated, causing double free in some cases. Remove the now-unneeded hack and make ata_sas_port_alloc() use devm_kfree().

2007-02-21libata bugfix: HDIO_DRIVE_TASKMark Lord
I was trying to use HDIO_DRIVE_TASK for something today, and discovered that the libata implementation does not copy over the upper four LBA bits from args[6]. This is serious, as any tools using this ioctl would have their commands applied to the wrong sectors on the drive, possibly resulting in disk corruption. Ideally, newer apps should use SG_IO/ATA_16 directly, avoiding this bug. But with libata poised to displace drivers/ide, better compatibility here is a must. This patch fixes libata to use the upper four LBA bits passed in from the ioctl. The original drivers/ide implementation copies over all bits except for the master/slave select bit. With this patch, libata will copy only the four high-order LBA bits, just in case there are assumptions elsewhere in libata (?).

2007-01-30libata: fix translation for START STOP UNITRobert Hancock
libata's SCSI translation for the SCSI START STOP UNIT command with the START bit clear (i.e. stopping the drive) appears to be incorrect. It sends an ATA STANDBY command with the time period set to 0, which the code comment says means "now", but the ATA standard says this means disable the standby timer, which effectively does nothing. Change this to issue a STANDBY IMMEDIATE command which will actually spin the drive down. The SAT (SCSI/ATA Translation) standard revision 9 concurs with this choice.

2006-12-20[PATCH] libata: take scmd->cmd_len into account when translating SCSI commandsTejun Heo
libata depended on SCSI command to have the correct length when tranlating it into an ATA command. This generally worked for commands issued by SCSI HLD but user could issue arbitrary broken command using sg interface. Also, when building ATAPI command, full command size was always copied. Because some ATAPI devices needs bytes after CDB cleared, if upper layer doesn't clear bytes after CDB, such devices will malfunction. This necessiated recent clear-garbage-after-CDB fix in sg interfaces. However, scsi_execute() isn't fixed yet and HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H30N malfunctions on initialization commands issued from SCSI. This patch makes xlat functions always consider SCSI cmd_len. Each translation function checks for proper cmd_len and ATAPI translaation clears bytes after CDB.

2006-12-01[PATCH] libata: use FLUSH_EXT only when driver is larger than LBA28 limitTejun Heo
Many drives support LBA48 even when its capacity is smaller than 1<<28, as LBA48 is required for many functionalities. FLUSH_EXT is mandatory for drives w/ LBA48 support. Interestingly, at least one of such drives (ST960812A) has problems dealing with FLUSH_EXT. It eventually completes the command but takes around 7 seconds to finish in many cases thus drastically slowing down IO transactions. This seems to be a firmware bug which sneaked into production probably because no other ATA driver including linux IDE issues FLUSH_EXT to drives which report support for LBA48 & FLUSH_EXT but is smaller than 1<<28 blocks. This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_FLUSH_EXT which is set iff the drive supports LBA48 & FLUSH_EXT and is larger than LBA28 limit. Both cache flush paths are updated to issue FLUSH_EXT only when the flag is set. Note that the changed behavior is more inline with the rest of libata. libata prefers shorter commands whenever possible.
