2007-10-18[libata] kill ata_sg_is_last()Jeff Garzik3-26/+20
Short term, this works around a bug introduced by early sg-chaining work. Long term, removing this function eliminates a branch from a hot path loop in each scatter/gather table build. Also, as this code demonstrates, we don't need to _track_ the end of the s/g list, as long as we mark it in some way. And doing so programatically is nice. So its a useful cleanup, regardless of its short term effects. Based conceptually on a quick patch by Jens Axboe. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2007-10-16remove blk_queue_max_phys_segments in libataFUJITA Tomonori1-2/+0
LIBATA_MAX_PRD is the maximum number of DMA scatter/gather elements permitted by the HBA's DMA engine. It's properly set to q->max_hw_segments via the sg_tablesize parameter. libata shouldn't call blk_queue_max_phys_segments. Now LIBATA_MAX_PRD is equal to SCSI_MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS by default (both is 128), so everything is fine. But if they are changed, some code (like the scsi mid layer, sg chaining, etc) might not work properly. (Addition from Jens) The basic issue is that the physical segment setting is purely a driver issue. And since SCSI is managing the sglist, libata has no business changing the setting. All libata should care about is the hw segment setting. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

The strn_pattern_cmp routine does not handle a blank name parameter properly. The only patterns which should match a blank name are "*" and an explicit "". If the function is passed a blank name in current code, it will always match against the patt parameter. The bug manifests itself as the device with the empty model name always matching the first device in the DMA blacklist, forcing it to revert to PIO mode.

2007-10-12libata: use ata_exec_internal() for PMP register accessTejun Heo5-189/+118
PMP registers used to be accessed with dedicated accessors ->pmp_read and ->pmp_write. During reset, those callbacks are called with the port frozen so they should be able to run without depending on interrupt delivery. To achieve this, they were implemented polling. However, as resetting the host port makes the PMP to isolate fan-out ports until SError.X is cleared, resetting fan-out ports while port is frozen doesn't buy much additional safety. This patch updates libata PMP support such that PMP registers are accessed using regular ata_exec_internal() mechanism and kills ->pmp_read/write() callbacks. The following changes are made. * PMP access helpers - sata_pmp_read_init_tf(), sata_pmp_read_val(), sata_pmp_write_init_tf() are folded into sata_pmp_read/write() which are now standalone PMP register access functions. * sata_pmp_read/write() returns err_mask instead of rc. This is consistent with other functions which issue internal commands and allows more detailed error reporting. * ahci interrupt handler is modified to ignore BAD_PMP and spurious/illegal completion IRQs while reset is in progress. These conditions are expected during reset. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-10-12libata: correct handling of SRST reset sequencesAlan Cox1-0/+21
Correct handling of SRST reset sequences. After an SRST it is undefined whether the drive has gone back to PIO0. In order to talk safely we should talk slowly and carefully until we know. Thus when we do the reset if the controller has a pio setup method we call it to flip back to PIO 0 and a known state. After the reset completes the identify will then be done at the safe speed and the drive/controller will pick suitable faster modes and reconfigure the controller to these timings. As a side effect it means we force the controller to PIO 0 as we bring it up which fixes funnies on a few systems where the BIOS firmware leaves us in an interesting choice of modes, or embedded boxes with no firmware which come up in random states. For smart controllers there is nothing to do - they know about this internally.

2007-10-12libata: Integrate ACPI-based PATA/SATA hotplug - version 5Matthew Garrett1-1/+59
Modern laptops with hotswap bays still tend to utilise a PATA interface on a SATA bridge, generally with the host controller in some legacy emulation mode rather than AHCI. This means that the existing hotplug code in libata is unable to work. The ACPI specification states that these devices can send notifications when hotswapped, which avoids the need to obtain notification from the controller. This patch uses the existing libata-acpi code and simply registers a notification in order to trigger a rescan whenever the firmware signals an event.
