libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patches

2008-11-10T16:04:47+00:00

This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to use block layer tagging. 43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806 2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with the current conversion. The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the frailty of ATA controllers. So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Jens Axobe Cc: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

libata: switch to using block layer tagging support

2008-10-23T23:05:26+00:00

libata currently has a pretty dumb ATA_MAX_QUEUE loop for finding a free tag to use. Instead of fixing that up, convert libata to using block layer tagging - gets rid of code in libata, and is also much faster. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

block: unify request timeout handling

2008-10-09T06:56:13+00:00

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot less timer fiddling. Signed-off-by: Mike Anderson Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

libata: implement slave_link

2008-09-29T04:25:28+00:00

Explanation taken from the comment of ata_slave_link_init(). In libata, a port contains links and a link contains devices. There is single host link but if a PMP is attached to it, there can be multiple fan-out links. On SATA, there's usually a single device connected to a link but PATA and SATA controllers emulating TF based interface can have two - master and slave. However, there are a few controllers which don't fit into this abstraction too well - SATA controllers which emulate TF interface with both master and slave devices but also have separate SCR register sets for each device. These controllers need separate links for physical link handling (e.g. onlineness, link speed) but should be treated like a traditional M/S controller for everything else (e.g. command issue, softreset). slave_link is libata's way of handling this class of controllers without impacting core layer too much. For anything other than physical link handling, the default host link is used for both master and slave. For physical link handling, separate @ap->slave_link is used. All dirty details are implemented inside libata core layer. From LLD's POV, the only difference is that prereset, hardreset and postreset are called once more for the slave link, so the reset sequence looks like the following. prereset(M) -> prereset(S) -> hardreset(M) -> hardreset(S) -> softreset(M) -> postreset(M) -> postreset(S) Note that softreset is called only for the master. Softreset resets both M/S by definition, so SRST on master should handle both (the standard method will work just fine). As slave_link excludes PMP support and only code paths which deal with the attributes of physical link are affected, all the changes are localized to libata.h, libata-core.c and libata-eh.c. * ata_is_host_link() updated so that slave_link is considered as host link too. * iterator extended to iterate over the slave_link when using the underbarred version. * force param handling updated such that devno 16 is mapped to the slave link/device. * ata_link_on/offline() updated to return the combined result from master and slave link. ata_phys_link_on/offline() are the direct versions. * EH autopsy and report are performed separately for master slave links. Reset is udpated to implement the above described reset sequence. Except for reset update, most changes are minor, many of them just modifying dev->link to ata_dev_phys_link(dev) or using phys online test instead. After this update, LLDs can take full advantage of per-dev SCR registers by simply turning on slave link. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: update atapi disable handling

2008-07-31T05:47:05+00:00

Global and per-LLD ATAPI disable checks were done in the command issue path probably because it was left out during EH conversion. On affected machines, this can cause lots of warning messages. Move them to where they belong - the probing path. Reported by Chunbo Luo. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Chunbo Luo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: improve EH internal command timeout handling

2008-07-14T19:59:32+00:00

ATA_TMOUT_INTERNAL which was 30secs were used for all internal commands which is way too long when something goes wrong. This patch implements command type based stepped timeouts. Different command types can use different timeouts and each command type can use different timeout values after timeouts. ie. the initial timeout is set to a value which should cover most of the cases but not too long so that run away cases don't delay things too much. After the first try times out, the second try can use longer timeout and if that one times out too, it can go for full 30sec timeout. IDENTIFYs use 5s - 10s - 30s timeout and all other commands use 5s - 10s timeouts. This patch significantly cuts down the needed time to handle failure cases while still allowing libata to work with nut job devices through retries.

libata: don't check whether to use DMA or not for no data commands

2008-06-19T00:27:49+00:00

There's no reason to check whether to use DMA or not for no data commands. Don't do it. While at it, make local variable using_pio in atapi_xlat() set iff ATAPI_PROT_PIO is going to be used and rename ata_check_atapi_dma() to atapi_check_dma() for consistency.
