libata restores SControl on detach; however, trying to restore
non-zero DET can cause undeterministic behavior including PMP device
going offline till power cycling. Mask off DET when restoring
SControl.

libata always uses PIO for ATAPI commands when the number of bytes to
transfer isn't multiple of 16 but quantum DAT72 chokes on odd bytes
PIO transfers. Implement a horkage to skip the mod16 check and apply
it to the quantum device.
This is reported by John Clark in the following thread.

Peter Moulder has pointed out that there is a slight chance that a
negative value might be passed to jiffies_to_msecs() in
ata_scsi_park_show(). This is fixed by saving the value of jiffies in a
local variable, thus also reducing code since the volatile variable
jiffies is accessed only once.

All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset
behaves.
* generic: Hardreset is not reliable. Link often doesn't come online
after hardreset.
* nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce
timing. However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H
Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the
device after hardreset. Follow-up SRST required.
* ck804: Hardreset finally works.
The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes
exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for
all three flavors. This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues
and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable.

Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur.
That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself,
but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of
the low-level driver.
The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result
in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives
up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine
hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it.
To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA
ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in
question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't
use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead.

libata currently imposes a UDMA5 max transfer rate and 200 sector max
transfer size for SATA devices that sit behind a pata-sata bridge. Lots
of devices have known good bridges that don't need this limit applied.
The MTRON SSD disks are such devices. Transfer rates are increased by
20-30% with the restriction removed.
So add a "blacklist" entry for the MTRON devices, with a flag indicating
that the bridge is known good.

5287 used to be treated as vt6420 but it didn't work. It's new family
of controllers called vt8251 which hosts four SATA ports as M/S of the
two ATA ports. This configuration is rather peculiar in that although
the M/S devices are on the same port, each have its own SCR (or
equivalent link status/control) registers which screws up the
port-link-device hierarchy assumed by libata. Another controller
which falls into this category is ata_piix w/ SIDPR access.
libata now has facility to deal with this class of controllers named
slave_link. A low level driver for such controllers can just call
ata_slave_link_init() on the respective ports and libata will handle
all the difficult parts like following up with single SRST after
hardresetting both ports.
This patch creates new controller class vt8251, implements slave_link
aware init sequence and config space based SCR access for it and moves
5287 to the new class.
This patch is based on Joseph Chan's larger patch which was created
before slave_link was implemented in libata.

In ata_tf_to_lba48(), when evaluating
(tf->hob_lbal & 0xff) << 24
the expression is promoted to signed int (since int can hold all values
of u8). However, if hob_lbal is 128 or more, then it is treated as a
negative signed value and sign-extended when promoted to u64 to | into
sectors, which leads to the MSB 32 bits of section getting set
incorrectly.
For example, Phillip O'Donnell <phillip.odonnell@gmail.com> reported
that a 1.5GB drive caused:
ata3.00: HPA detected: current 2930277168, native 18446744072344861488
where 2930277168 == 0xAEA87B30 and 18446744072344861488 == 0xffffffffaea87b30
which shows the problem when hob_lbal is 0xae.
Fix this by adding a cast to u64, just as is used by for hob_lbah and
hob_lbam in the function.

around 120MB/s with the minimum pci-e payload size (128bytes) which is
used by most consumer systems. However, write throughput can be

Add an appropriate entry for the Promise PDC42819 controller. It has an
AHCI mode and so far works correctly with board_ahci.
This chip is found on Promise's FastTrak TX2650 (2 port) and TX4650 (4 port)
software-based RAID cards (for which there is a binary driver, t3sas) and
can be found on some motherboards, for example the MSI K9A2 Platinum,
which calls the chip a Promise T3 controller.
Although this controller also supports SAS devices, its default bootup mode
is AHCI and the binary driver has to do some magic to get the chip into the
appropriate mode to drive SAS disks.
Seeing as no documentation is provided by Promise, adding this entry to the
ahci driver allows the controller to be useful to people as a SATA
controller (with no ill effects on the system if a SAS disk is connected -
probing of the port just times out with "link online but device
misclassified"), without having to resort to using the binary driver. Users
who require SAS or the proprietary software raid can get this functionality
using the binary driver.

The recent commit 2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e ("libata:
switch to using block layer tagging support") to enable support for
block layer tagging in libata was broken for non-NCQ devices
The block layer initializes the tag field to -1 to detect invalid uses
of a tag, and if the libata devices does NOT support NCQ, we just used
that field to index the internal command list. So we need to check for
-1 first and only use the tag field if it's valid.

Reset methods don't have access to phys link status for slave links
and may incorrectly indicate device presence causing unnecessary probe
failures for unoccupied links. This patch clears device class to NONE
during post-reset processing if phys link is offline.
As on/offlineness semantics is strictly defined and used in multiple

When no interrupt is specified the pata_of_platform fills the irq_res
resource with -1, which is wrong to do for two reasons:
1. By definition, 'no irq' should be IRQ 0, not some negative integer;
2. pata_platform checks for irq_res.start > 0, but since irq_res.start
is unsigned type, the check will be true for `-1'.

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.

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.
