<id>urn:sha1:cfd192c9983ea4e993cabf4f899ef587f31ab51e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8a4aeec8d2d6a3edeffbdfae451cdf05cbf0fefd upstream.

The AHCI spec allows implementations to issue commands in tag order
rather than FIFO order:

	5.3.2.12 P:SelectCmd
	HBA sets pSlotLoc = (pSlotLoc + 1) mod (CAP.NCS + 1)
	or HBA selects the command to issue that has had the
	PxCI bit set to '1' longer than any other command
	pending to be issued.

The result is that commands posted sequentially (time-wise) may play out
of sequence when issued by hardware.

This behavior has likely been hidden by drives that arrange for commands
to complete in issue order.  However, it appears recent drives (two from
different vendors that we have found so far) inflict out-of-order
completions as a matter of course.  So, we need to take care to maintain
ordered submission, otherwise we risk triggering a drive to fall out of
sequential-io automation and back to random-io processing, which incurs
large latency and degrades throughput.

This issue was found in simple benchmarks where QD=2 seq-write
performance was 30-50% *greater* than QD=32 seq-write performance.

Tagging for -stable and making the change globally since it has a low
risk-to-reward ratio.  Also, word is that recent versions of an unnamed
OS also does it this way now.  So, drives in the field are already
experienced with this tag ordering scheme.

<title>libata: disable LPM for some WD SATA-I devices</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f07b772da47ad954573b1ffe6ebd4df1b59bf656</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ecd75ad514d73efc1bbcc5f10a13566c3ace5f53 upstream.

For some reason, some early WD drives spin up and down drives
erratically when the link is put into slumber mode which can reduce
the life expectancy of the device significantly.  Unfortunately, we
don't have full list of devices and given the nature of the issue it'd
be better to err on the side of false positives than the other way
around.  Let's disable LPM on all WD devices which match one of the
known problematic model prefixes and are SATA-I.

As horkage list doesn't support matching SATA capabilities, this is
implemented as two horkages - WD_BROKEN_LPM and NOLPM.  The former is
set for the known prefixes and sets the latter if the matched device
is SATA-I.

Note that this isn't optimal as this disables all LPM operations and
partial link power state reportedly works fine on these; however, the
way LPM is implemented in libata makes it difficult to precisely map
libata LPM setting to specific link power state.  Well, these devices
are already fairly outdated.  Let's just disable whole LPM for now.

<title>libata: Add atapi_dmadir force flag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3d097b15182906eaf121c48697ceda0ab9ddf55e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 966fbe193f47c68e70a80ec9991098e88e7959cb upstream.

Some device require DMADIR to be enabled, but are not detected as such
by atapi_id_dmadir.  One such example is "Asus Serillel 2"
SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridge: the bridge itself requires DMADIR,
even if the bridged device does not.

As atapi_dmadir module parameter can cause problems with some devices
(as per Tejun Heo's memory), enabling it globally may not be possible
depending on the hardware.

This patch adds atapi_dmadir in the form of a "force" horkage value,
allowing global, per-bus and per-device control.

 The above trace was triggered by
   "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=32768"

 It was previously working by accident, since another bug introduced
 by 4dce8ba94c7 (libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX) caused
 all drives to use maxsect=65535.

<content type='text'>
The ODD can be enabled for ZPODD if the following three conditions are
satisfied:
1 The ODD supports device attention;
2 The platform can runtime power off the ODD through ACPI;
3 The ODD is either slot type or drawer type.
For such ODDs, zpodd_init is called and a new structure is allocated for
it to store ZPODD related stuffs.

And the zpodd_dev_enabled function is used to test if ZPODD is currently
enabled for this ODD.

A new config CONFIG_SATA_ZPODD is added to selectively build ZPODD code.

As low-level drivers register their host controller(s), keep track
of the number of controllers and export thru /sys in a &lt;host.port&gt;
format so that udev can better match up port numbers with a
specific controller.

/sys/devices/pci0000:00

NCQ capability was used to check availability of SATA Settings page
from Identify Device Data Log, which contains DevSlp timing variables.
It does not work on some HDDs and leads to error messages.

IDENTIFY word 78 bit 5(Hardware Feature Control) can't work either
because it is only the sufficient condition of Identify Device data
log, not the necessary condition.

This patch replaced ata_device-&gt;sata_settings with -&gt;devslp_timing
to only save DevSlp timing variables(8 bytes), instead of the whole
SATA Settings page(512 bytes).

This relatively simple boiler-plate code is repeated in several platform
drivers. We should implement a common version in libata.

Commit 66fa7f215 "libata-acpi: improve ACPI disabling" introdcued the
behaviour of disabling ATA ACPI if ata_acpi_on_devcfg failed the 2nd
time, but commit 30dcf76ac dropped this behaviour and this caused
problem for Dimitris Damigos, where his laptop can not resume correctly.

The bugzilla page for it is:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49331

The problem is, ata_dev_push_id will fail the 2nd time it is invoked,
and due to disabling ACPI code is dropped, ata_acpi_on_devcfg which
calls ata_dev_push_id will keep failing and eventually made the device
disabled.

This patch restores the original behaviour, if acpi failed the 2nd time,
disable acpi functionality for the device(and we do not event need to
add a debug message for this as it is still there ;-).
