Horkage handling had the following problems.
* dev->horkage was positioned after ATA_DEVICE_CLEAR_OFFSET, so it was
cleared before the device is configured. This broke
HORKAGE_DIAGNOSTIC.
* Some used dev->horkage while others called ata_device_blacklisted()
directly. This was at best confusing.
This patch moves dev->horkage right after dev->flags and set the field
according to the blacklist during device configuration. All users
test against dev->horkage. ata_device_blacklisted() now has only one
user, make it static. While at it, rename it to ata_dev_blacklisted()

This patch reimplements ACPI invocation such that, instead of
exporting ACPI details to the rest of libata, ACPI event handlers -
ata_acpi_on_resume() and ata_acpi_on_devcfg() - are used. These two
functions are responsible for determining whether specific ACPI method
is used and when.
On resume, _GTF is scheduled by setting ATA_DFLAG_ACPI_PENDING device
flag. This is done this way to avoid performing the action on wrong
device device (device swapping while suspended).
On every ata_dev_configure(), ata_acpi_on_devcfg() is called, which
performs _SDD and _GTF. _GTF is performed only after resuming and, if
SATA, hardreset as the ACPI spec specifies. As _GTF may contain
arbitrary commands, IDENTIFY page is re-read after _GTF taskfiles are
executed.
If one of ACPI methods fails, ata_acpi_on_devcfg() retries on the
first failure. If it fails again on the second try, ACPI is disabled
on the device. Note that successful configuration clears ACPI failed
status.
With all feature checks moved to the above two functions,
do_drive_set_taskfiles() is trivial and thus collapsed into
ata_acpi_exec_tfs(), which is now static and converted to return the
number of executed taskfiles to be used by ata_acpi_on_resume(). As
failures are handled properly, ata_acpi_push_id() now returns -errno
on errors instead of unconditional zero.

After SRST, libata used to wait for nsect/lbal to be set to 1/1 for
the slave device. However, some ATAPI devices don't set nsect/lbal
after SRST and the wait itself isn't too useful as we're gonna wait
for !BSY right after that anyway.
Before reset-seq update, nsect/lbal wait failure used to be ignored
and caused 30sec delay during detection. After reset-seq, all
timeouts are considered error conditions making libata fail to detect
such ATAPI devices.
This patch limits nsect/lbal wait to around 100ms. This should give
acceptable behavior to such ATAPI devices while not disturbing the

Several people have reported LITE-ON LTR-48246S detection failed
because SETXFER fails. It seems the device raises IRQ too early after
SETXFER. This is controller independent. The same problem has been
reported for different controllers.
So, now we have pata_via where the controller raises IRQ before it's
ready after SETXFER and a device which does similar thing. This patch
makes libata always execute SETXFER via polling. As this only happens
during EH, performance impact is nil. Setting ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is
also moved from issue hot path to ata_dev_set_xfermode() - the only
place where SETXFER can be issued.
Note that ATA_TFLAG_POLLING applies only to drivers which implement
SFF TF interface and use libata HSM. More advanced controllers ignore
the flag. This doesn't matter for this fix as SFF TF controllers are
the problematic ones.

Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or
(later) ACPI _GTF. Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors
before turning off HPA. The cached original size is overwritten if
the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always
happens after configuring trasnfer mode. If the device gets hardreset
for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV.
This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check
from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is
fully configured. No matter what happens during configuration, a
device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be

libata enables SCSI host during ATA host activation which happens
after IRQ handler is registered and IRQ is enabled. All ATA ports are
in frozen state when IRQ is enabled but frozen ports may raise limited
number of IRQs after being frozen - IOW, ->freeze() is not responsible
for clearing pending IRQs. During normal operation, the IRQ handler
is responsible for clearing spurious IRQs on frozen ports and it
usually doesn't require any extra code.
Unfortunately, during host initialization, the IRQ handler can end up
scheduling EH for a port whose SCSI host isn't initialized yet. This
results in OOPS in the SCSI midlayer. This is relatively short window
and scheduling EH for probing is the first thing libata does after
initialization, so ignoring EH scheduling until initialization is
complete solves the problem nicely.

The intention of using port_mask in SFF init helpers was to eventually
support exoctic configurations such as combination of legacy and
native port on the same controller. This never became actually
necessary and the related code always has been subtly broken one way
or the other. Now that new init model is in place, there is no reason
to make common helpers capable of handling all corner cases. Exotic
cases can simply dealt within LLDs as necessary.
This patch removes port_mask handling in SFF init helpers. SFF init
helpers don't take n_ports argument and interpret it into port_mask
anymore. All information is carried via port_info. n_ports argument
is dropped and always two ports are allocated. LLD can tell SFF to
skip certain port by marking it dummy. Note that SFF code has been
treating unuvailable ports this way for a long time until recent
breakage fix from Linus and is consistent with how other drivers
handle with unavailable ports.
This fixes 1-port legacy host handling still broken after the recent
native mode fix and simplifies SFF init logic. The following changes
are made...
* ata_pci_init_native_host() and ata_init_legacy_host() both now try
to initialized whatever they can and mark failed ports dummy. They
return 0 if any port is successfully initialized.
* ata_pci_prepare_native_host() and ata_pci_init_one() now doesn't
take n_ports argument. All info should be specified via port_info
array. Always two ports are allocated.
* ata_pci_init_bmdma() exported to be used by LLDs in exotic cases.
* port_info handling in all LLDs are standardized - all port_info
arrays are const stack variable named ppi. Unless the second port
is different from the first, its port_info is specified as NULL
(tells libata that it's identical to the last non-NULL port_info).
* pata_hpt37x/hpt3x2n: don't modify static variable directly. Make an
on-stack copy instead as ata_piix does.
* pata_uli: It has 4 ports instead of 2. Don't use
ata_pci_prepare_native_host(). Allocate the host explicitly and use
init helpers. It's simple enough.

Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
this double spinning down causes problem.
This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that
libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).
shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on
SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks
currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
dangerous data integrity-wise.
So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.
* Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
exists. If it does, write 0 to it.
* For each libata harddisk {
* Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
down as before.
}
The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
it.
To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by
hours of tireless usability testing).

libata previously depended upon waits in prereset to get resets after
hotplug right for both spin up and device ready wait. This was
necessary both for reliablity and speed as reset was likely to fail if
initiated too early and each try usually took more than 30secs to
fail. Previous patches fixed the reliability part by fixing status
and SCR handling in resets. This patch remedies the speed part by
improving reset sequencing.
Prereset waiting timeout is adjusted to 10s because spinup wait is
replaced by reset sequencing and !BSY wait is not as important as
before. During boot or module loading where the drive is already
fully spun up, !BSY wait succeeds immediately, so 10s should be enough
in most cases. It matters after hotplugging or other error
conditions, but in those cases, !BSY wait in prereset simply can't be
relied upon due to the varied and weird behaviors ATA controllers and
devices show.
Reset is now driven by ata_eh_reset_timeouts[] table which contains
timeouts for each reset try. The first reset can be softreset but the
following ones are always hardreset if available. Each timeout
defines deadline for the reset try. If a reset try fails, reset is
retried with the next timeout till the end of the timeout table is
reached. If a reset try fails before the timeout with error, libata
waits till the deadline of the failed try before retrying.
IOW, the timeout table defines timetable of reset tries such that the
n'th try always begins at least after the sum of all previous timeouts
has passed. The current timetable defines 4 tries and takes around 1
minute.
@0 : First try. This should succeed most of the time during boot.
@10 : 10s is enough to spin up most consumer harddrives. Give it
another shot.
@20 : 20s should spin up > 99% of working drives. This has 30s
timeout for retarded devices needing long idleness post reset.
@55 : Final try with 5s timeout just in case.
The above timetable is trade off between not annoying the device too
much with frequent resets and taking reasonable amount of time in most
cases. Some controllers may do better with shorter timeouts while
others may fare better with longer but we just can't rely upon LLD
writers to test each controller with wide variety of devices using
various scenarios. We need default behavior which reasonably fits
most cases.
I've tested the above timetable on a dozen SATA controllers and a few
PATA controllers with about a dozen different drives from all major
vendors and 4 different ODDs from three different vendors for both
boot and hotplug (if available) cases.
Boot probing is not affected unless the device is broken in which
cases new code gives up on the port after a minute rather than five or
nine minutes. When hotplugging, most devices get detected on the
first or second try. Multi-platter drives with long spin up time
which sometimes took > 40 secs with the original code, now usually
comes up during the second try and at least right after the third try
@20.
