libata: accept late unlocking of HPA

2009-07-29T01:07:09Z

On certain configurations, HPA isn't or can't be unlocked during probing but it somehow ends up unlocked afterwards. In the following thread, the problem can be reliably reproduced after resuming from STR. The BIOS turns on HPA during boot but forgets to do it during resume. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/858310 This patch updates libata revalidation such that it considers native n_sectors. If the device size has increased to match native n_sectors, it's assumed that HPA has been unlocked involuntarily and the device is recognized as the same one. This should be fairly safe while nicely working around the problem. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reported-by: Christof Warlich Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: implement and use HORKAGE_NOSETXFER, take#2

2009-07-15T02:41:46Z

PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTD08 times out SETXFER if no media is present. The device is SATA and simply skipping SETXFER works around the problem. Implement ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER and apply it to the device. Reported by Moritz Rigler in the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/36790 and by Lars in bko#9540. Updated to whine and ignore NOSETXFER if PATA component is detected as suggested by Alan Cox.

ata: Report 16/32bit PIO as best we can

2009-04-16T19:28:23Z

The legacy old IDE ioctl API for this is a bit primitive so we try and map stuff sensibly onto it. - Set PIO over DMA devices to report 32bit - Add ability to change the PIO32 settings if the controller permits it - Add that functionality into the sff drivers - Add that functionality into the VLB legacy driver - Turn on the 32bit PIO on the ninja32 and add support there Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[libata] Improve timeout handling

2009-03-25T02:52:39Z

On a timeout call a device specific handler early in the recovery so that we can complete and process successful commands which timed out due to IRQ loss or the like rather more elegantly. [Revised to exclude the timeout handling on a few devices that inherit from SFF but are not SFF enough to use the default timeout handler] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[libata] Drain data on errors

2009-03-25T02:48:26Z

If the device is signalling that there is data to drain after an error we should read the bytes out and throw them away. Without this some devices and controllers get wedged and don't recover. Based on earlier work by Mark Lord Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: align ap->sector_buf

2009-03-05T12:25:02Z

ap->sector_buf is used as DMA target and should at least be aligned on cacheline. This caused problems on some embedded machines. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: fix dma_unmap_sg misuse

2009-03-05T12:24:57Z

libata passes the returned value of dma_map_sg() to dma_unmap_sg(),which is the misuse of dma_unmap_sg(). DMA-mapping.txt says: To unmap a scatterlist, just call: pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction); Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished. PLEASE NOTE: The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call, it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the pci_map_sg call.

libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5s

2009-03-05T12:24:42Z

This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be ready. On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..." message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly timeout/error messages. Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out, and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which will finally get things working.
