* libata-sff: kill unused prototype and make ata_dev_select() staticTejun Heo2010-05-142-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | ata_irq_on() was renamed to ata_sff_irq_on() and exported a while ago but prototype for the original function lingered in drivers/ata/libata.h. Kill it. Also, ata_dev_select() is only used inside drivers/ata/libata-sff.c. Make it static. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
* libata-sff: update bmdma host bus error handlingTejun Heo2010-05-141-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Clearing IRQ from ata_sff_error_handler() is necessary only when the port is gonna be thawed before performing EH actions and some controllers don't like being accessed after certain failure modes until they're reset. Clear IRQ iff the port is being thawed. * When the controller succesfully indicated bus error, the point of thawing doesn't matter. Move thawing inside bmdma part of EH. This is a bit ugly but will ease code reorganization later. * Remove the unneeded ata_sff_sync(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

* libata: make sff_irq_on() method optionalSergei Shtylyov2010-05-145-66/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, with the introduction of the sff_set_devctl() method, we can use it in sff_irq_on() method too -- that way its implementations in 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' become virtually identical to ata_sff_irq_on(). The sff_irq_on() method now becomes quite superfluous, and the only reason not to remove it completely is the existence of the 'pata_octeon_cf' driver which implements it as an empty function. Just make the method optional then, with ata_sff_irq_on() becoming generic taskfile-bound function, still global for the 'pata_bf54x' driver to be able to call it from its thaw() and postreset() methods. While at it, make the sff_irq_on() method and ata_sff_irq_on() return 'void' as the result is always ignored anyway.

* libata: introduce sff_set_devctl() methodSergei Shtylyov2010-05-145-59/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The set of libata's taskfile access methods is clearly incomplete as it lacks a method to write to the device control register -- which forces drivers like 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' to implement more "high level" (and more weighty) methods like freeze() and postreset(). So, introduce the optional sff_set_devctl() method which the drivers only have to implement if the standard iowrite8() can't be used (just like the existing sff_check_altstatus() method) and make use of it in the freeze() and postreset() method implementations (I could also have used it in softreset() method but it also reads other taskfile registers without using tf_read() making that quite pointless); this makes freeze() method implementations in the 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' methods virtually identical to ata_sff_freeze(), so we can get rid of them completely.

* ahci: add "em_buffer" attribute for AHCI hostsHarry Zhang2010-05-142-3/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "em_buffer" attribute for SATA AHCI hosts to provide a way for userland to access AHCI EM (enclosure management) buffer directly if the host supports EM. AHCI driver should support SGPIO EM messages. However the SATA/AHCI specs did not define the SGPIO message format filled in EM buffer. Different HW vendors may have different definitions. The mainly purpose of this attribute is to solve this issue by allowing HW vendors to provide userland drivers and tools for their SGPIO initiators.

* libata: use longer 0xff wait if parallel scan is enabledTejun Heo2010-05-142-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some SATA devices which take relatively long to get out of 0xff status after reset. In libata, this timeout is determined by ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT. Quantum GoVault is the worst requring about 2s for reliable detection. However, because 2s 0xff timeout can introduce rather long spurious delay during boot, libata has been compromising at the next longest timeout of 800ms for HHD424020F7SV00 iVDR drive. Now that parallel scan is in place for common drivers, libata can afford 2s 0xff timeout. Use 2s 0xff timeout if parallel scan is enabled. Please note that the chance of spurious wait is pretty slim w/ working SCR access so this will only affect SATA controllers w/o SCR access which isn't too common these days. Please read the following thread for more information on the GoVault drive. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/14545/focus=14663 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Gary Hade <garyhade@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

* [libata] Disable R_OK (Early ACK) on SII 3726 PMPGrant Grundler2010-05-141-3/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2009, While running "cache read" performance test of drives behind SII PMP we encountered a "all 5 drives" timeout on more than 30% of the machines under test. This patch reduces the rate by a factor of about 70. Low enough that we didn't care to further investigate the issue. Performance impact with any sort of "normal" use was ~2%+ CPU and less than 1% throughput degradation. Worst case impact (cached read) was 6% IOPS reduction. This is with NCQ off (q=1) but I believe FIS based switching enabled in the SATA driver. The patch disables "Early ACK" in the 3726 port multiplier. "Early ACK" is issued when device sends a FIS to the host (via PMP) and the PMP sends an ACK immediately back to the device - well before the host gets the response. Under worst case IOPs load (cached read test) and more than 2 PMPs connected to a 4-port SATA controller, I suspect the time to service all of the PMPs is exceeding the PMPs ability to keep track of outstanding FIS it owes the Host. Reducing the number of PMPs to 2 (or 1) reduces the frequency by several orders of magnitude. Kudos to Gwendal for initial debugging of this issue.

* pata_mpc52xx: reduce code size by simple change of constant data typesRoman Fietze2010-05-141-39/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've prepared a totally simple patch that, if I did it and measured it correctly, reduces the text size as of the ppc-6xx-size command of pata-mpc52xx by more than 10%, by reducing the rodata size from 0x4a4 to 0x17e bytes. This is simply done by changing the data types of the ATA timing constants. If you are interested at all, and it's worth the trouble, here the details: ppc-6xx-size: text data bss dec hex filename old: 6532 1068 0 7600 1db0 pata-mpc52xx.o new: 5718 1068 0 6786 1a82 pata-mpc52xx.o The (assembler) code itself doesn't really change very much.

* ahci: clean up board IDsTejun Heo2010-05-141-120/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ahci over time has grown a number of board IDs and it's a bit of mess right now. Clean it up such that, * board_id_* now live in a separate enum board_ids and numbers are assigned automatically. * Board IDs assigned to features are separated from the ones assigned to specific implementations and both are ordered alphabetically. * For NV MCPs, define per-generation alias board_ids and assign matching aliases in the pci id table. This makes mcp_linux, 67-73 use board_ahci_mcp65 instead of board_ahci_yesncq. Both are identical in content. * Kill now unused board_ahci_nopmp and board_ahci_yesncq.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the driver uses host->iomap to store all the iomapped BARs of a PCI device (while AHCI devices actually use just a single memory window). We're going to teach AHCI to work with non-PCI buses, so there are two options to make this work: 1. "fake" host->iomap array for non-PCI devices, and place the needed address at iomap[AHCI_PCI_BAR]; 2. Get rid of host->iomap usage, instead introduce a private mmio field.

In case of vhost, failure to flush out used index update before looking at the interrupt disable flag could result in missed interrupts, resulting in networking hang under stress. This might happen when flags read bypasses used index write. So we see interrupts disabled and do not interrupt, at the same time guest writes flags value to enable interrupt, reads an old used index value, thinks that used ring is empty and waits for interrupt. Note: the barrier we pair with here is in drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c, function vring_enable_cb. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>

Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it. Comment from Serge : Me, I like to write my passwords with light blue pen on dark blue paper, pasted on my window - if you're going to get my password, you're gonna get a headache.
