2006-07-24[libata] sata_promise: comment out duplicate PCI IDJeff Garzik
This is just the for-RC fix. A 'TODO' command is added, describing what's needed for the more-complete fix.
2006-07-19[PATCH] libata: improve EH action and EHI flag handlingTejun Heo
Update ata_eh_about_to_do() and ata_eh_done() to improve EH action and EHI flag handling. * There are two types of EHI flags - one which expires on successful EH and the other which expires on a successful reset. Make this distinction clear. * Unlike other EH actions, reset actions are represented by two EH action masks and a EHI modifier. Implement correct about_to_do/done semantics for resets. That is, prior to reset, related EH info is sucked in from ehi and cleared, and after reset is complete, related EH info in ehc is cleared. These changes improve consistency and remove unnecessary EH actions caused by stale EH action masks and EHI flags.

2006-07-19[PATCH] libata: fix eh_skip_recovery conditionTejun Heo
* (ata_dev_absent() || ata_dev_ready()) test doesn't indicate SUSPENDED state properly. Fix it. * Link resuming resets shouldn't be skipped. Don't skip recovery on EHI_RESUME_LINK. This doesn't matter for host ports as EHI_RESUME always coincides with EHI_HOTPLUGGED which makes attached disabled devices vacant. However, PMP reset causes non-hotplug link-resuming resets which shouldn't be skipped. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-07-19[PATCH] libata: fix autopsy ehc->i.action and ehc->i.dev handlingTejun Heo
Commit 0662c58b3265f52f708a6d59476bc7862b01f9c0 updated ata_eh_autopsy() to OR determined action to ehc->i.action to preserve action mask set directly into ehc->i.action by nested functions. This broke action mask clearing on SENSE_VALID case causing revalidation and EH complete message on successful ATAPI CC. This patch removes two local variables - action and failed_dev - which cache ehc->i.action and ehc->i.dev respectively, and make the function directly modify ehc->i.* fields to remove aliasing issues.

2006-07-16[libata] ata_piix: Consolidate PCS register writingJeff Garzik
Prior to this patch, the driver would do this for each port: read 8-bit PCS write 8-bit PCS read 8-bit PCS write 8-bit PCS In the field, flaky behavior has been observed related to this register. In particular, these overzealous register writes can cause misdetection problems. Update to do the following once (not once per port) at boot: read 16-bit PCS if needs changing, write 16-bit PCS And thereafter, we only perform a 'read 16-bit PCS' per port. This should eliminate all PCS writes in many cases, and be more friendly in the cases where we do need to enable ports. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: reimplement controller-wide PMTejun Heo
Reimplement controller-wide PM. ata_host_set_suspend/resume() are defined to suspend and resume a host_set. While suspended, EHs for all ports in the host_set are pegged using ATA_FLAG_SUSPENDED and frozen. Because SCSI device hotplug is done asynchronously against the rest of libata EH and the same mutex is used when adding new device, suspend cannot wait for hotplug to complete. So, if SCSI device hotplug is in progress, suspend fails with -EBUSY. In most cases, host_set resume is followed by device resume. As each resume operation requires a reset, a single host_set-wide resume operation may result in multiple resets. To avoid this, resume waits upto 1 second giving PM to request resume for devices.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: reimplement per-dev PMTejun Heo
Reimplement per-dev PM. The original implementation directly put the device into suspended mode and didn't synchronize w/ EH operations including hotplug. This patch reimplements ata_scsi_device_suspend() and ata_scsi_device_resume() such that they request EH to perform the respective operations. Both functions synchronize with hotplug such that it doesn't operate on detached devices. Suspend waits for completion but resume just issues request and returns. This allows parallel wake up of devices and thus speeds up system resume. Due to sdev detach synchronization, it's not feasible to separate out EH requesting from sdev handling; thus, ata_device_suspend/resume() are removed and everything is implemented in the respective libata-scsi functions.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: implement PM EH actionsTejun Heo
Implement two PM per-dev EH actions - ATA_EH_SUSPEND and ATA_EH_RESUME. Each action puts the target device into suspended mode and resumes from it respectively. Once a device is put to suspended mode, no EH operations other than RESUME is allowed on the device. The device will stay suspended till it gets resumed and thus reset and revalidated. To implement this, a new device state helper - ata_dev_ready() - is implemented and used in EH action implementations to make them operate only on attached & running devices. If all possible devices on a port are suspended, reset is skipped too. This prevents spurious events including hotplug events from disrupting suspended devices.

Implement ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY and QUIET.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: clean up debounce parameters and improve parameter selectionTejun Heo
The names of predefined debounce timing parameters didn't exactly match their usages. Rename to more generic names and implement param selection helper sata_ehc_deb_timing() which uses EHI_HOTPLUGGED to select params. Combined with the previous EHI_RESUME_LINK differentiation, this makes parameter selection accurate. e.g. user scan resumes link but normal deb param is used instead of hotplug param.

2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: implement ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINKTejun Heo
Implement ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK, which indicates that the link needs to be resumed. This used to be implied by ATA_EHI_HOTPLUGGED. However, hotplug isn't the only event which requires link resume and separating this out allows other places to request link resume. This differentiation also allows better debounce timing selection. This patch converts user scan to use ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-07-05[PATCH] libata: replace ap_lock w/ ap->lock in ata_scsi_error()Tejun Heo
ap_lock was used because &ap->host_set->lock was too long and used a lot. Now that &ap->host_set->lock is replaced with ap->lock, there's no reason to keep ap_lock. [ed. note: that's not entirely true. ap_lock is a local variable, caching the results of a de-ref. In theory, if the compiler is smart enough, this patch is cosmetic. However, since this is not a fast path (it is the error path), this patch is nonetheless acceptable, even though it _may_ introduce a performance regression.] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-06-29[SCSI] iscsi: pass target nr to session creationMike Christie
So the drivers do not use the channel numbers, but some do use the target numbers. We were just adding some goofy variable that just increases for the target nr. This is useless for software iscsi because it is always zero. And for qla4xxx the target nr is actually the index of the target/session in its FW or FLASH tables. We needed to expose this to userspace so apps could access those numbers so this patch just adds the target nr to the iscsi session creation functions. This way when qla4xxx's Hw thinks a session is at target nr 4 in its hw, it is exposed as that number in sysfs.

2006-06-29[SCSI] iscsi: break up session creation into two stagesMike Christie
qla4xxx is initialized in two steps like other HW drivers. It allocates the host, sets up the HW, then adds the host. For iscsi part of HW setup is setting up persistent iscsi sessions. At that time, the interupts are off and the driver is not completely set up so we just want to allocate them. We do not want to add them to sysfs and expose them to userspace because userspace could try to do lots of fun things with them like scanning and at that time the driver is not ready. So this patch breakes up the session creation like other functions that use the driver model in two the alloc and add parts. When the driver is ready, it can then add the sessions and userspace can begin using them. This also fixes a bug in the addition error patch where we forgot to do a get on the session.

iscsi_tcp and iser cannot be rmmod from the kernel when sessions are running because session removal is driven from userspace. For those modules we get a module reference when a session is created then drop it when the session is removed. For qla4xxx, they can jsut remove the sessions from the pci remove function like normal HW drivers, so this patch moves the module reference from the transport class functions shared by all drivers to the libiscsi functions only used be software iscsi modules.
