<content type='text'>
commit 4ee34ea3a12396f35b26d90a094c75db95080baa upstream.

The id buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't explicitly
cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be overwritten with
stale data from memory on non coherent architectures. As a result, the
kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an ATA device.

Fix this by ensuring that the id buffer is cacheline aligned.

This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af31f
("libata: align ap-&gt;sector_buf").

commit 71d126fd28de2d4d9b7b2088dbccd7ca62fad6e0 upstream.

Some devices lose data on TRIM whether queued or not.  This patch adds
a horkage to disable TRIM.

<content type='text'>
commit 09c5b4803a80a5451d950d6a539d2eb311dc0fb1 upstream.

When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might
generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link.
Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change.

The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these
spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.

commit 72dd299d5039a336493993dcc63413cf31d0e662 upstream.

Ronny reports: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87101
    "Since commit 8a4aeec8d "libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered
    controllers" the access to the harddisk on the first SATA-port is
    failing on its first access. The access to the harddisk on the
    second port is working normal.

    When reverting the above commit, access to both harddisks is working
    fine again."

Maintain tag ordered submission as the default, but allow sata_sil24 to
continue with the old behavior.

1871ee134b73 ("libata: support the ata host which implements a queue
depth less than 32") directly used ata_port-&gt;scsi_host-&gt;can_queue from
ata_qc_new() to determine the number of tags supported by the host;
unfortunately, SAS controllers doing SATA don't initialize -&gt;scsi_host
leading to the following oops.

Fix it by introducing ata_host-&gt;n_tags which is initialized to
ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 in ata_host_init() for SAS controllers and set to
scsi_host_template-&gt;can_queue in ata_host_register() for !SAS ones.
As SAS hosts are never registered, this will give them the same
ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 as before.  Note that we can't use
scsi_host-&gt;can_queue directly for SAS hosts anyway as they can go
higher than the libata maximum.

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

Commit bc6e7c4b0d1a "libata, libsas: kill pm_result and related cleanup"
renamed ata_sas_port_async_resume() to ata_sas_port_resume(), but missed
a CONFIG_PM=n stub conversion.  Randy fixed that up in commit
a5a6569959fc "libata.h: add stub for ata_sas_port_resume", but missed
the deletion of the now unused ata_sas_port_async_resume() routine.

Tejun says:
  "At least for libata, worrying about suspend/resume failures don't make
   whole lot of sense.  If suspend failed, just proceed with suspend.  If
   the device can't be woken up afterwards, that's that.  There isn't
   anything we could have done differently anyway.  The same for resume, if
   spinup fails, the device is dud and the following commands will invoke
   EH actions and will eventually fail.  Again, there really isn't any
   *choice* to make.  Just making sure the errors are handled gracefully
   (ie. don't crash) and the following commands are handled correctly
   should be enough."

The only libata user that actually cares about the result from a suspend
operation is libsas.  However, it only cares about whether queuing a new
operation collides with an in-flight one.  All libsas does with the
error is retry, but we can just let libata wait for the previous
operation before continuing.

Other cleanups include:
1/ Unifying all ata port pm operations on an ata_port_pm_ prefix
2/ Marking all ata port pm helper routines as returning void, only
   ata_port_pm_ entry points need to fake a 0 return value.
3/ Killing ata_port_{suspend|resume}_common() in favor of calling
   ata_port_request_pm() directly
4/ Killing the wrappers that just do a to_ata_port() conversion
5/ Clearly marking the entry points that do async operations with an
  _async suffix.
