libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_MAX_SEC_1024 to revert back to previous max_sectors limit

2015-08-03T16:29:04Z

commit af34d637637eabaf49406eb35c948cd51ba262a6 upstream. Since no longer limiting max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (commit 34b48db66e08), data corruption may occur on ST380013AS drive configured on 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA controller. This patch will allow the driver to limit max_sectors as before # cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb 512 I was able to double the max_sectors_kb value up to 16384 on linux-4.2.0-rc2 before seeing corruption, but seems safer to use previous limit. Without this patch max_sectors_kb will be 32767. tj: Minor comment update.

libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_NOTRIM

2015-08-03T16:29:04Z

commit 71d126fd28de2d4d9b7b2088dbccd7ca62fad6e0 upstream. Some devices lose data on TRIM whether queued or not. This patch adds a horkage to disable TRIM. tj: Collapsed unnecessary if() nesting. Signed-off-by: Arne Fitzenreiter Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

libata: Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails

2015-08-03T16:29:04Z

commit 5d3abf8ff67f49271a42c0f7fa4f20f9e046bf0e upstream. Some devices advertise support for the READ/WRITE LOG DMA EXT commands but fail when we try to issue them. This can lead to queued TRIM being unintentionally disabled since the relevant feature flag is located in a general purpose log page. Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails while reading a log page. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

libata: Ignore spurious PHY event on LPM policy change

2015-04-25T20:50:14Z

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.

libata: remove ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG

2015-03-24T18:14:18Z

sata_sil24 for some reason pukes when tags are allocated round-robin which helps tag ordered controllers. To work around the issue, 72dd299d5039 ("libata: allow sata_sil24 to opt-out of tag ordered submission") introduced ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG which tells libata tag allocation to do lowest-first. However, with the recent switch to blk-mq tag allocation, the liata tag allocation code path is no longer used and the workaround is now implemented in the block layer and selected by setting scsi_host_template->tag_alloc_policy to BLK_TAG_ALLOC_FIFO. See 9269e23496dd ("libata: make sata_sil24 use fifo tag allocator"). This leaves ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG withoout any actual user. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Shaohua Li Cc: Dan Williams

ata: Add a new flag to destinguish sas controller

2015-03-19T18:14:43Z

SAS controller has its own tag allocation, which doesn't directly match to ATA tag, so SAS and SATA have different code path for ata tags. Originally we use port->scsi_host (98bd4be1) to destinguish SAS controller, but libsas set ->scsi_host too, so we can't use it for the destinguish, we add a new flag for this purpose. Without this patch, the following oops can happen because scsi-mq uses a host-wide tag map shared among all devices with some integer tag values >= ATA_MAX_QUEUE. These unexpectedly high tag values cause __ata_qc_from_tag() to return NULL, which is then dereferenced in ata_qc_new_init().

From Shaohua. - Conversion of loop to blk-mq, from Ming Lei. - Cleanup of the io_schedule() handling in bsg from Peter Zijlstra. He claims it improves on unreadable code, which will cost him a beer. - Maintainer update or NDB, now handled by Markus Pargmann. - NVMe: - Optimization from me that avoids a kmalloc/kfree per IO for smaller (<= 8KB) IO.
