libata: align ap->sector_buf

2009-03-05T12:25:02Z

ap->sector_buf is used as DMA target and should at least be aligned on cacheline. This caused problems on some embedded machines. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: fix dma_unmap_sg misuse

2009-03-05T12:24:57Z

libata passes the returned value of dma_map_sg() to dma_unmap_sg(),which is the misuse of dma_unmap_sg(). DMA-mapping.txt says: To unmap a scatterlist, just call: pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction); Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished. PLEASE NOTE: The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call, it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the pci_map_sg call.

libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5s

2009-03-05T12:24:42Z

This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be ready. On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..." message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly timeout/error messages. Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out, and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which will finally get things working.

libata: implement HORKAGE_1_5_GBPS and apply it to WD My Book

2009-02-03T04:04:31Z

3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures. It's usually okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission failures and after it only power cycling can revive them. Combined with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender, this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain configurations virtually rendering them unusable. This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified. Please take a look at the following bz for related reports. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9913 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way

2009-02-03T04:03:17Z

dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs. dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs to remain persistent over multiple porbing events. This patch achieves this by doing the following. * Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only clear between BEGIN and END. ering is moved after END. The split of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head. * ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device attach succeeds. So, ering is persistent throug a device's life time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection of the next one.

SATA: Blacklisting of systems that spin off disks during ACPI power off

2009-01-27T07:15:49Z

Introduce new libata flags ATA_FLAG_NO_POWEROFF_SPINDOWN and ATA_FLAG_NO_HIBERNATE_SPINDOWN that, if set, will prevent disks from being spun off during system power off and hibernation, respectively (to handle the hibernation case we need the new system state SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER that can be checked against by libata, in analogy with SYSTEM_POWER_OFF).

libata: Add another column to the ata_timing table.

2009-01-16T15:23:37Z

The forthcoming OCTEON SOC Compact Flash driver needs an additional timing value that was not available in the ata_timing table. I add a new column for dmack_hold time. The values were obtained from the Compact Flash specification Rev 4.1. Signed-off-by: David Daney Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[libata] get-identity ioctl: Fix use of invalid memory pointer

2009-01-16T15:17:09Z

for SAS drivers. Caught by Ke Wei (and team?) at Marvell. Also, move the ata_scsi_ioctl export to libata-scsi.c, as that seems to be the general trend. Acked-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: Add a per-host flag to opt-in into parallel port probes

2009-01-10T23:06:52Z

This patch adds a per host flag that allows drivers to opt in into having its busses scanned in parallel. Drivers that do not set this flag get their ports scanned in the "original" sequence. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

libata: Add 32bit PIO support

2009-01-08T21:34:27Z

This matters for some controllers and in one or two cases almost doubles PIO performance. Add a bmdma32 operations set we can inherit and activate it for some controllers Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
