ata: libata-core: Reject an invalid concurrent positioning ranges count

2026-08-03T09:22:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 533a0b940f901c15e5cbbd4b5d66e871c209e8ce ] ata_dev_config_cpr() takes the number of range descriptors from buf[0] of the concurrent positioning ranges log (up to 255), which the device reports independently of the log size in the GPL directory. The count is then walked at a fixed 32-byte stride in two places with no bound: the log read here, and the INQUIRY VPD page B9h emitter, which writes one descriptor per range into the fixed 2048-byte ata_scsi_rbuf. A device reporting a count larger than its own log overflows the read buffer (up to 7704 bytes past a 512-byte slab), and a count above 62 overflows the response buffer on the emit side. Bound the count once, on probe, against both the log the device returned and the number of descriptors the VPD B9h response buffer can hold (ATA_DEV_MAX_CPR, derived from the rbuf size). Reject an out-of-range count with a warning; this keeps the emitter in bounds with no separate change there.

ata: libata-core: Allow capacity transition to zero for locked drives

2026-07-24T14:17:16+00:00

commit 793bf193b18e9bff6c4280268bbffd16a5b533e5 upstream. Commit 91842ed844a0 ("ata: libata-core: Set capacity to zero for a security locked drive") introduced setting the device capacity (n_sectors) to zero in ata_dev_configure() if the drive is security locked. However, during runtime revalidation, ata_dev_revalidate() compares the new capacity (now 0) with the old capacity (>0) and detects a mismatch. Since it does not consider the locked status, it returns -ENODEV. This revalidation failure can occur when doing a reset of the PHY (e.g. hard reset) for a controller that has I/Os in flight. The timed out I/Os trigger the SCSI Error Handling (EH) path, which in turn invokes libata device revalidation. If the drive is locked at runtime (e.g. it lost power during reset and relocked), revalidation sees the capacity transition to zero and fails, eventually disabling the device. Fix this by allowing the capacity transition to zero in ata_dev_revalidate() if the drive is reported as security locked by ata_id_is_locked().

ata: libata-core: Skip HPA resize for locked drives

2026-07-24T14:17:16+00:00

commit 917d0a4b95ea7ba01ed6296fb808f752d5d81107 upstream. Skip HPA resize in ata_hpa_resize() if the drive is security locked. If the drive is locked, the command to read the native max address fails with -EACCES, which currently causes the sticky quirk ATA_QUIRK_BROKEN_HPA to be set on the device. Setting this sticky quirk causes subsequent revalidations (after the drive is unlocked) to bypass HPA checks, preventing the unlocked drive from exposing its full native capacity without a reboot or device removal.

ata: libata: Fix ata_exec_internal()

2026-07-24T14:15:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit aa0ae1c35f7b3e9afed2324bed5f5c87ad55b92c ] Some but not all ata_exec_internal() calls happen from the context of the ATA error handler. Commit c0c362b60e25 ("libata: implement cross-port EH exclusion") added ata_eh_release() and ata_eh_acquire() calls in ata_exec_internal(). Calling these functions is necessary if the caller holds the eh_mutex but is not allowed if the caller doesn't hold that mutex. Fix this by only calling ata_eh_release() and ata_eh_acquire() if the caller holds the eh_mutex. An example of an indirect caller of ata_exec_internal() that does not hold the eh_mutex is ata_host_register().

ata: libata-scsi: do not needlessly defer commands when using PMP with FBS

2026-06-01T15:50:38+00:00

commit 759e8756da00aa115d504a18155b1d1ee1cc12e8 upstream. The ACS specification does not allow a non-NCQ command to be issued while an NCQ command is outstanding. Commit 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation") introduced a feature where a deferred non-NCQ command gets issued from a workqueue. The design stores a single non-NCQ command per port. However, when using Port Multipliers (PMPs), specifically PMPs that support FIS-Based Switching (FBS), non-NCQ and NCQ commands can be mixed on the same port, just not for the same link, see e.g. ata_std_qc_defer() which is, and always has operated on a per-link basis. Therefore, move the deferred_qc from struct ata_port to struct ata_link. This way, when using a PMP with FBS, we will not needlessly defer commands to all other links, just because one link issued a non-NCQ command while having an NCQ command outstanding. Only commands for that specific link will be deferred. This is in line with how PMPs with FBS worked before commit 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation").

ata: libata-core: Add BRIDGE_OK quirk for QEMU drives

2026-03-19T15:08:24+00:00

commit b92b0075ee1870f78f59ab1f7da7dbfdd718ad7a upstream. Currently, whenever you boot with a QEMU drive over an AHCI interface, you get: [ 1.632121] ata1.00: applying bridge limits This happens due to the kernel not believing the given drive is SATA, since word 93 of IDENTIFY (ATA_ID_HW_CONFIG) is non-zero. The result is a pretty severe limit in max_hw_sectors_kb, which limits our IO sizes. QEMU has set word 93 erroneously for SATA drives but does not, in any way, emulate any of these real hardware details. There is no PATA drive and no SATA cable. As such, add a BRIDGE_OK quirk for QEMU HARDDISK. Special care is taken to limit this quirk to "2.5+", to allow for fixed future versions. This results in the max_hw_sectors being limited solely by the controller interface's limits. Which, for AHCI controllers, takes it from 128KB to 32767KB.

ata: libata: avoid long timeouts on hot-unplugged SATA DAS

2026-03-04T12:20:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 151cabd140322205e27dae5c4bbf261ede0056e3 ] When a SATA DAS enclosure is connected behind a Thunderbolt PCIe switch, hot-unplugging the whole enclosure causes pciehp to tear down the PCI hierarchy before the SCSI layer issues SYNCHRONIZE CACHE and START STOP UNIT for the disks. libata still queues these commands and the AHCI driver tries to access the HBA registers even though the PCI channel is already offline. This results in a series of timeouts and error recovery attempts, e.g.: [ 824.778346] pcieport 0000:00:07.0: pciehp: Slot(14): Link Down [ 891.612720] ata8.00: qc timeout after 5000 msecs (cmd 0xec) [ 902.876501] ata8.00: qc timeout after 10000 msecs (cmd 0xec) [ 934.107998] ata8.00: qc timeout after 30000 msecs (cmd 0xec) [ 936.206431] sd 7:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK ... [ 1006.298356] ata1.00: qc timeout after 5000 msecs (cmd 0xec) [ 1017.561926] ata1.00: qc timeout after 10000 msecs (cmd 0xec) [ 1048.791790] ata1.00: qc timeout after 30000 msecs (cmd 0xec) [ 1050.890035] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK With this patch applied, the same hot-unplug looks like: [ 59.965496] pcieport 0000:00:07.0: pciehp: Slot(14): Link Down [ 60.002502] sd 7:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK ... [ 60.103050] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK In this test setup with two disks, the hot-unplug sequence shrinks from about 226 seconds (~3.8 minutes) between the Link Down event and the last SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure to under a second. Without this patch the total delay grows roughly with the number of disks, because each disk gets its own SYNCHRONIZE CACHE and qc timeout series. If the underlying PCI device is already gone, these commands cannot succeed anyway. Avoid issuing them by introducing ata_adapter_is_online(), which checks pci_channel_offline() for PCI-based hosts. It is used from ata_scsi_find_dev() to return NULL, causing the SCSI layer to fail new commands with DID_BAD_TARGET immediately, and from ata_qc_issue() to bail out before touching the HBA registers. Since such failures would otherwise trigger libata error handling, ata_adapter_is_online() is also consulted from ata_scsi_port_error_handler(). When the adapter is offline, libata skips ap->ops->error_handler(ap) and completes error handling using the existing path, rather than running a full EH sequence against a dead adapter. With this change, SYNCHRONIZE CACHE and START STOP UNIT commands issued during hot-unplug fail quickly once the PCI channel is offline, without qc timeout spam or long libata EH delays.
