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

2026-06-01T15:54:19+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-scsi: do not use the deferred QC feature on PMPs with CBS

2026-06-01T15:54:19+00:00

commit f233124fb36cd57ef09f96d517a38ab4b902e15e upstream. When using Port Multipliers (PMPs) with Command-Based Switching (CBS), you can only issue commands to one link at a time. For PMPs with CBS, there is already code to handle commands being sent to different links in sata_pmp_qc_defer_cmd_switch() using ap->excl_link. sata_sil24 also makes use of ap->excl_link. A user on the list reported that commit 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation") broke PMPs with CBS. The commit introduced code that stores a deferred qc in ap->deferred_qc, to later be issued via a workqueue. It turns out that this change is incompatible with the existing ap->excl_link handling used by PMPs with CBS. Thus, modify sata_pmp_qc_defer_cmd_switch() and sil24_qc_defer() to return ATA_DEFER_LINK_EXCL, and make sure that the deferred QC handling via workqueue is not used for this return value. This way, PMPs with CBS will work once again. Note that the starvation referenced in commit 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation") can only happen on libsas ports, and libsas does not support Port Multipliers, thus there is no harm of reverting back to the previous way of deferring commands for PMPs with CBS. Non-libsas ports connected to anything but a PMP with CBS (e.g. a normal drive or a PMP with FBS) will continue using the deferred workqueue, since it does result in lower completion latencies for non-NCQ commands, even though the workqueue is not strictly needed to avoid starvation for non-libsas ports. If we want to modify the scope of the workqueue issuing to also handle PMPs with CBS, then we should ensure that we can save both NCQ and non-NCQ commands in ap->deferred_qc, while also removing the existing PMP CBS handling using ap->excl_link, such that we don't duplicate features. While at it, also add a comment explaining how the ap->excl_link mechanism works.

ata: libata-scsi: do not use the deferred QC feature for ATA_DEFER_PORT

2026-06-01T15:54:19+00:00

commit ce4548807d2e4ae48fd0dbe38865467369877913 upstream. The deferred QC feature was meant to handle mixed NCQ and non-NCQ commands, i.e. for return value ATA_DEFER_LINK. ATA_DEFER_PORT is returned by PATA drivers, but also certain SATA drivers like sata_mv and sata_sil24 that uses ap->excl_link to workaround hardware bugs in these HBAs. Regardless of the reason, using the deferred QC feature for ATA_DEFER_PORT is always wrong, and will break the ap->excl_link usage of the SATA drivers that rely on that feature. Modify ata_scsi_qc_issue() to only use the deferred QC feature when mixing NCQ and non-NCQ commands, i.e. ATA_DEFER_LINK.

ata: libata-scsi: fix requeue of deferred ATA PASS-THROUGH commands

2026-05-23T11:09:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8ebf408e7d463eee02c348a3c8277b95587b710d ] Commit 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation") introduced ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() to handle commands deferred during resets or NCQ failures. This deferral logic completed commands with DID_SOFT_ERROR to trigger a retry in the SCSI mid-layer. However, DID_SOFT_ERROR is subject to scsi_cmd_retry_allowed() checks. ATA PASS-THROUGH commands sent via SG_IO ioctl have scmd->allowed set to zero. This causes the mid-layer to fail the command immediately instead of retrying, even though the command was never actually issued to the hardware. Switch to DID_REQUEUE to ensure these commands are inserted back into the request queue regardless of retry limits.

ata: ahci: force 32-bit DMA for JMicron JMB582/JMB585

2026-04-07T07:36:46+00:00

The JMicron JMB585 (and JMB582) SATA controllers advertise 64-bit DMA support via the S64A bit in the AHCI CAP register, but their 64-bit DMA implementation is defective. Under sustained I/O, DMA transfers targeting addresses above 4GB silently corrupt data -- writes land at incorrect memory addresses with no errors logged. The failure pattern is similar to the ASMedia ASM1061 (commit 20730e9b2778 ("ahci: add 43-bit DMA address quirk for ASMedia ASM1061 controllers")), which also falsely advertised full 64-bit DMA support. However, the JMB585 requires a stricter 32-bit DMA mask rather than 43-bit, as corruption occurs with any address above 4GB. On the Minisforum N5 Pro specifically, the combination of the JMB585's broken 64-bit DMA with the AMD Family 1Ah (Strix Point) IOMMU causes silent data corruption that is only detectable via checksumming filesystems (BTRFS/ZFS scrub). The corruption occurs when 32-bit IOVA space is exhausted and the kernel transparently switches to 64-bit DMA addresses. Add device-specific PCI ID entries for the JMB582 (0x0582) and JMB585 (0x0585) before the generic JMicron class match, using a new board type that combines AHCI_HFLAG_IGN_IRQ_IF_ERR (preserving existing behavior) with AHCI_HFLAG_32BIT_ONLY to force 32-bit DMA masks.

ata: libata-scsi: report correct sense field pointer in ata_scsiop_maint_in()

Commit 4ab7bb976343 ("ata: libata-scsi: Refactor ata_scsiop_maint_in()") modified ata_scsiop_maint_in() to directly call ata_scsi_set_invalid_field() to set the field pointer of the sense data of a failed MAINTENANCE IN command. However, in the case of an invalid command format, the sense data field incorrectly indicates byte 1 of the CDB. Fix this to indicate byte 2 of the command.

ata: libata-eh: Fix detection of deferred qc timeouts

2026-03-06T08:58:47+00:00

If the ata_qc_for_each_raw() loop finishes without finding a matching SCSI command for any QC, the variable qc will hold a pointer to the last element examined, which has the tag i == ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1. This qc can match the port deferred QC (ap->deferred_qc). If that happens, the condition qc == ap->deferred_qc evaluates to true despite the loop not breaking with a match on the SCSI command for this QC. In that case, the error handler mistakenly intercepts a command that has not been issued yet and that has not timed out, and thus erroneously returning a timeout error. Fix the problem by checking for i < ATA_MAX_QUEUE in addition to qc == ap->deferred_qc. The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

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

2026-03-05T15:49:02+00:00

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.
