      libata: improve 0xff status handling · 9b89391c
      Tejun Heo authored 
      For PATA, 0xff status indicates empty port.  For SATA, it depends on
how the controller emulates status register.  On some controllers,
0xff is used to represent broken link or certain stage during reset.

libata currently deals SATA the same.  This hasn't caused any problem
because problematic situations usually only occur after hotplug or
other link disruption events and libata blindly waited for the device
to spin up and settle after hotplug giving the link and device
whatever time to go through those stages.

libata is going to replace unconditional spinup wait with generic
timed sequence of resets, so not only getting 0xff handling right for
SATA is, well, the right thing to do, it's much more important now.

This patch makes the following changes.

* Make ata_bus_softreset() return -ENODEV if any of its wait fails
  due to 0xff status.

* Fail soft/hardreset if status wait returns -ENODEV indicating 0xff
  status while SStatus says the link is online.  e.g. Reset fails if
  status is 0xff after reset when SStatus reports the linke is online.
  If SCR registers are not available, everything is the same as
  before.

      libata: add deadline support to prereset and reset methods · d4b2bab4
      Tejun Heo authored 
      Add @deadline to prereset and reset methods and make them honor it.
ata_wait_ready() which directly takes @deadline is implemented to be
used as the wait function.  This patch is in preparation for EH timing
improvements.

* ata_wait_ready() never does busy sleep.  It's only used from EH and
  no wait in EH is that urgent.  This function also prints 'be
  patient' message automatically after 5 secs of waiting if more than
  3 secs is remaining till deadline.

* ata_bus_post_reset() now fails with error code if any of its wait
  fails.  This is important because earlier reset tries will have
  shorter timeout than the spec requires.  If a device fails to
  respond before the short timeout, reset should be retried with
  longer timeout rather than silently ignoring the device.

  There are three behavior differences.

  1. Timeout is applied to both devices at once, not separately.  This
     is more consistent with what the spec says.

  2. When a device passes devchk but fails to become ready before
     deadline.  Previouly, post_reset would just succeed and let
     device classification remove the device.  New code fails the
     reset thus causing reset retry.  After a few times, EH will give
     up disabling the port.

  3. When slave device passes devchk but fails to become accessible
     (TF-wise) after reset.  Original code disables dev1 after 30s
     timeout and continues as if the device doesn't exist, while the
     patched code fails reset.  When this happens, new code fails
     reset on whole port rather than proceeding with only the primary
     device.

  If the failing device is suffering transient problems, new code
  retries reset which is a better behavior.  If the failing device is
  actually broken, the net effect is identical to it, but not to the
  other device sharing the channel.  In the previous code, reset would
  have succeeded after 30s thus detecting the working one.  In the new
  code, reset fails and whole port gets disabled.  IMO, it's a
  pathological case anyway (broken device sharing bus with working
  one) and doesn't really matter.

* ata_bus_softreset() is changed to return error code from
  ata_bus_post_reset().  It used to return 0 unconditionally.

* Spin up waiting is to be removed and not converted to honor
  deadline.

* To be on the safe side, deadline is set to 40s for the time being.

      libata: honour host controllers that want just one host · dc87c398
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The Marvell IDE interface on my machine would hit a BUG_ON() in
lib/iomem.c because it was calling ata_pci_init_one() specifying just a
single port on the host, but that would actually end up trying to
initialize two ports, the second one with bogus information.

This fixes "ata_pci_init_one()" so that it actually passes down the
n_ports variable that it got from the low-level driver to the host
allocation routine ("ata_host_alloc_pinfo()"), which results in the ATA
layer actually having the correct port number information.

And in order to make it all work, I also needed to fix a few places that
had incorrectly hard-coded the fact that a host always had exactly two
ports (both ata_pci_init_bmdma() and ata_request_legacy_irqs() would
just always iterate over both ports).
