2008-04-17libata: rename SFF port opsTejun Heo
Add sff_ prefix to SFF specific port ops. This rename is in preparation of separating SFF support out of libata core layer. This patch strictly renames ops and doesn't introduce any behavior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2008-04-17libata: rename SFF functionsTejun Heo
SFF functions have confusing names. Some have sff prefix, some have bmdma, some std, some pci and some none. Unify the naming by... * SFF functions which are common to both BMDMA and non-BMDMA are prefixed with ata_sff_. * SFF functions which are specific to BMDMA are prefixed with ata_bmdma_. * SFF functions which are specific to PCI but apply to both BMDMA and non-BMDMA are prefixed with ata_pci_sff_. * SFF functions which are specific to PCI and BMDMA are prefixed with ata_pci_bmdma_. * Drop generic prefixes from LLD specific routines. For example, bfin_std_dev_select -> bfin_dev_select. The following renames are noteworthy. ata_qc_issue_prot() -> ata_sff_qc_issue() ata_pci_default_filter() -> ata_bmdma_mode_filter() ata_dev_try_classify() -> ata_sff_dev_classify() This rename is in preparation of separating SFF support out of libata core layer. This patch strictly renames functions and doesn't introduce any behavior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2008-04-17libata: implement and use ops inheritanceTejun Heo
libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and register it with libata core layer. This allows low level drivers high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries. This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar controllers which differ slightly. They share most of the operations except for a few. However, the driver still needs to list all operations for each variant. This results in large number of duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are. This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone. When compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up accumulating inconsistencies over time. Some of those inconsistencies cause immediate problems and fixed. Others just remain there dormant making maintenance increasingly difficult. To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations inheritance. To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's class inheritance. An ops table has ->inherits field which can be set to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop. When the host is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it specified. This operation is called finalization and done only once per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can update it. libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from - base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma. To avoid overriding these ops accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always inherit these instead of using them directly. After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers which didn't use to. The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect and the field will soon be removed by later patch. * sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take advantage of ops inheritance.

2008-04-17libata: implement and use SHT initializersTejun Heo
libata lets low level drivers build scsi_host_template and register it to the SCSI layer. This allows low level drivers high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries. This patch implements SHT initializers which can be used to initialize all the boilerplate entries in a sht. Three variants of them are implemented - BASE, BMDMA and NCQ - for different types of drivers. Note that entries can be overriden by putting individual initializers after the helper macro. All sht tables are identical before and after this patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2008-02-11pata_ninja32: setup changesAlan Cox
Forcibly set more of the configuration at init time. This seems to fix at least one problem reported. We don't know what most of these bits do, but we do know what windows stuffs there. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2008-01-23pata_ninja32: Cardbus ATA initial supportAlan Cox
Lots of work needed to bring it up to scratch but it does work so you can now use the card. That makes it at least useful, especially as the other cardbus cards are usually INIC162x which aren't yet supported well.
