I've been chasing Jeff about this for months. Jeff added the Marvell
device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.
This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!
This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.
To quote Jeff in email
> "Just switch the order of 'ahci' and 'pata_marvell' in

(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)
To quote Jeff in August 2007
> " mv-ahci-pata

Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.
The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

SIS controllers were blacklisted for PMP as enabling it made device
detection fail whether the device was PMP or not - the natural
conclusion was the controller chokes on SRST w/ pmp==15. However, it
turned out that the controller just didn't like issuing SRST after
hardreset w/o clearing SError first. Interestingly, the SRST itself
succeeds but the following commands fail.
If SError is cleared between hardreset and SRST, which is the default
behavior now, everything works fine and SIS controllers work with PMPs
happily.
Remove PMP blacklisting for SIS AHCIs.

In an I/O heavy workload (IOZone), ahci_qc_issue is the second-highest
consumer of CPU cycles. Removing the flush gets us approximately 10%
bandwidth improvement. I believe this to be because the CPU can start
queueing the next request instead of waiting for the readl() to flush the
writes to the device. The flush isn't necessary because we're using a
'queue' metaphor; we don't guarantee the command has got to the device,
nor do we need to guarantee the command has got to the controller.

Some controllers (jmb and inic162x) use 0x77 and 0x7f to indicate that
the device isn't ready yet. It looks like they use 0xff if device
presence is detected but connection isn't established. 0x77 or 0x7f
after connection is established and use the value from signature FIS
after receiving it.
This patch implements ata_check_ready(), which takes TF status value
and determines whether the port is ready or not considering the above
and other conditions, and use it in @check_ready() functions. This is
safe as both 0x77 and 0x7f aren't valid ready status value even though
they have BSY bit cleared.

sata_fsl is peculiar in that its softreset really isn't softreset but

Now that all SFF stuff is separated out of core layer, core layer

This is much cleaner for non-SFF controllers as some of them have to
cache SFF register values in private data structure and report the

controllers which don't have clear notion of TF registers when

Previously, post-softreset readiness is waited as follows.
1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet.
2. ata_bus_softreset() finishes with -ENODEV if status is still 0xff.
If not, continue to #3.
3. ata_bus_post_reset() waits readiness of dev0 and/or dev1 depending
on devmask using ata_sff_wait_ready().
And for post-hardreset readiness,
1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet.
2. sata_sff_hardreset waits for device readiness using
ata_sff_wait_ready().
This patch merges and unifies post-reset readiness waits into
ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset().
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT handling is merged into ata_sff_wait_ready(). If TF
status is 0xff, link status is unknown and the port is SATA, it will
continue polling till ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT.
ata_sff_wait_after_reset() is updated to perform the following steps.
1. waits for 150ms.
2. waits for dev0 readiness using ata_sff_wait_ready(). Note that
this is done regardless of devmask, as ata_sff_wait_ready() handles
0xff status correctly, this preserves the original behavior except
that it may wait longer after softreset if link is online but
status is 0xff. This behavior change is very unlikely to cause any
actual difference and is intended. It brings softreset behavior to
that of hardreset.
3. waits for dev1 readiness just the same way ata_bus_post_reset() did.
Now both soft and hard resets call ata_sff_wait_after_reset() after
reset to wait for readiness after resets. As
ata_sff_wait_after_reset() contains calls to ->sff_dev_select(),
explicit call near the end of sata_sff_hardreset() is removed.
This change makes reset implementation simpler and more consistent.
While at it, make the magical 150ms wait post-reset wait duration a
constant and ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset() take
@link instead of @ap. This is to make them consistent with other
reset helpers and ease core changes.
pata_scc is updated accordingly.

Currently reset methods are not specified directly in the
ata_port_operations table. If a LLD wants to use custom reset
methods, it should construct and use a error_handler which uses those
reset methods. It's done this way for two reasons.
First, the ops table already contained too many methods and adding
four more of them would noticeably increase the amount of necessary
boilerplate code all over low level drivers.
Second, as ->error_handler uses those reset methods, it can get
confusing. ie. By overriding ->error_handler, those reset ops can be
made useless making layering a bit hazy.
Now that ops table uses inheritance, the first problem doesn't exist
anymore. The second isn't completely solved but is relieved by
providing default values - most drivers can just override what it has
implemented and don't have to concern itself about higher level
callbacks. In fact, there currently is no driver which actually
modifies error handling behavior. Drivers which override
->error_handler just wraps the standard error handler only to prepare
the controller for EH. I don't think making ops layering strict has
any noticeable benefit.
This patch makes ->prereset, ->softreset, ->hardreset, ->postreset and
their PMP counterparts propoer ops. Default ops are provided in the
base ops tables and drivers are converted to override individual reset
methods instead of creating custom error_handler.
* ata_std_error_handler() doesn't use sata_std_hardreset() if SCRs
aren't accessible. sata_promise doesn't need to use separate
error_handlers for PATA and SATA anymore.
* softreset is broken for sata_inic162x and sata_sx4. As libata now
always prefers hardreset, this doesn't really matter but the ops are
forced to NULL using ATA_OP_NULL for documentation purpose.
* pata_hpt374 needs to use different prereset for the first and second
PCI functions. This used to be done by branching from
hpt374_error_handler(). The proper way to do this is to use
separate ops and port_info tables for each function. Converted.

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.

->irq_clear() is used to clear IRQ bit of a SFF controller and isn't

Some controllers can't reliably record the initial D2H FIS after SATA
link is brought online for whatever reason. Advanced controllers
which don't have traditional TF register based interface often have
this problem as they don't really have the TF registers to update
while the controller and link are being initialized.
SKIP_D2H_BSY works around the problem by skipping the wait for device
readiness before issuing SRST, so for such controllers libata issues
SRST blindly and hopes for the best.
Now that libata defaults to hardreset, this workaround is no longer
necessary. For controllers which have support for hardreset, SRST is
never issued by itself. It is only issued as follow-up SRST for
device classification and PMP initialization, so there's no need to
wait for it from prereset.

When both soft and hard resets are available, libata preferred
softreset till now. The logic behind it was to be softer to devices;
however, this doesn't really help much. Rationales for the change:
* BIOS may freeze lock certain things during boot and softreset can't
unlock those. This by itself is okay but during operation PHY event
or other error conditions can trigger hardreset and the device may
end up with different configuration.
For example, after a hardreset, previously unlockable HPA can be
unlocked resulting in different device size and thus revalidation
failure. Similar condition can occur during or after resume.
* Certain ATAPI devices require hardreset to recover after certain
error conditions. On PATA, this is done by issuing the DEVICE RESET
command. On SATA, COMRESET has equivalent effect. The problem is
that DEVICE RESET needs its own execution protocol.
For SFF controllers with bare TF access, it can be easily
implemented but more advanced controllers (e.g. ahci and sata_sil24)
require specialized implementations. Simply using hardreset solves
the problem nicely.
* COMRESET initialization sequence is the norm in SATA land and many
SATA devices don't work properly if only SRST is used. For example,
some PMPs behave this way and libata works around by always issuing
hardreset if the host supports PMP.
Like the above example, libata has developed a number of mechanisms
aiming to promote softreset to hardreset if softreset is not going
to work. This approach is time consuming and error prone.
Also, note that, dependingon how you read the specs, it could be
argued that PMP fan-out ports require COMRESET to start operation.
In fact, all the PMPs on the market except one don't work properly
if COMRESET is not issued to fan-out ports after PMP reset.
* COMRESET is an integral part of SATA connection and any working
device should be able to handle COMRESET properly. After all, it's
the way to signal hardreset during reboot. This is the most used
and recommended (at least by the ahci spec) method of resetting
devices.
So, this patch makes libata prefer hardreset over softreset by making
the following changes.
* Rename ATA_EH_RESET_MASK to ATA_EH_RESET and use it whereever
ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET used to be used. ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET is
now only used to tell prereset whether soft or hard reset will be
issued.
* Strip out now unneeded promote-to-hardreset logics from
ata_eh_reset(), ata_std_prereset(), sata_pmp_std_prereset() and
other places.

a kernel parameter for it.

ahci is often implemented with accompanying SFF compatible interface
and legacy IDE driver may attach to the legacy IO ports when the
controller is already claimed by ahci and vice-versa. This patch
makes ahci use pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() so that all IO regions
are claimed on attach.

This addresses the recent ATI SB600 errata, where the hardware does
not like 256-length PRD entries during FPDMA (aka NCQ).
It hurts performance on SB600, but it is more important to get a
correct patch eliminating the data corruption/lockups, and then later
on tune for performance.
We simply limit each command to a maximum of 255 sectors, on SB600.

badc234157 was added with
