Currently, sata_fsl, mv and nv call ata_qc_complete() multiple times
from their interrupt handlers to indicate completion of NCQ commands.
This limits the visibility the libata core layer has into how commands
are being executed and completed, which is necessary to support IRQ
expecting in generic way. libata already has an interface to complete
multiple commands at once - ata_qc_complete_multiple() which ahci and
sata_sil24 already use.
This patch updates the three drivers to use ata_qc_complete_multiple()
too and updates comments on ata_qc_complete[_multiple]() regarding
their usages with NCQ completions. This change not only provides
better visibility into command execution to the core layer but also
simplifies low level drivers.
* sata_fsl: It already builds done_mask. Conversion is straight
forward.
* sata_mv: mv_process_crpb_response() no longer checks for illegal
completions, it just returns whether the tag is completed or not.
mv_process_crpb_entries() builds done_mask from it and passes it to
ata_qc_complete_multiple() which will check for illegal completions.
* sata_nv adma: Similar to sata_mv. nv_adma_check_cpb() now just
returns the tag status and nv_adma_interrupt() builds done_mask from
it and passes it to ata_qc_complete_multiple().
* sata_nv swncq: It already builds done_mask. Drop unnecessary
illegal transition checks and call ata_qc_complete_multiple().
In the long run, it might be a good idea to make ata_qc_complete()
whine if called when multiple NCQ commands are in flight.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

sata_fsl is peculiar in that its softreset really isn't softreset but

This is much cleaner for non-SFF controllers as some of them have to
cache SFF register values in private data structure and report the
cached values via ops->tf_read(). Also, ops->tf_read() gets nasty for
controllers which don't have clear notion of TF registers when

Currently reset methods are not specified directly in the
ata_port_operations table. If a LLD wants to use custom reset
methods, it should construct and use a error_handler which uses those
reset methods. It's done this way for two reasons.
First, the ops table already contained too many methods and adding
four more of them would noticeably increase the amount of necessary
boilerplate code all over low level drivers.
Second, as ->error_handler uses those reset methods, it can get
confusing. ie. By overriding ->error_handler, those reset ops can be
made useless making layering a bit hazy.
Now that ops table uses inheritance, the first problem doesn't exist
anymore. The second isn't completely solved but is relieved by
providing default values - most drivers can just override what it has
implemented and don't have to concern itself about higher level
callbacks. In fact, there currently is no driver which actually
modifies error handling behavior. Drivers which override
->error_handler just wraps the standard error handler only to prepare
the controller for EH. I don't think making ops layering strict has
any noticeable benefit.
This patch makes ->prereset, ->softreset, ->hardreset, ->postreset and
their PMP counterparts propoer ops. Default ops are provided in the
base ops tables and drivers are converted to override individual reset
methods instead of creating custom error_handler.
* ata_std_error_handler() doesn't use sata_std_hardreset() if SCRs
aren't accessible. sata_promise doesn't need to use separate
error_handlers for PATA and SATA anymore.
* softreset is broken for sata_inic162x and sata_sx4. As libata now
always prefers hardreset, this doesn't really matter but the ops are
forced to NULL using ATA_OP_NULL for documentation purpose.
* pata_hpt374 needs to use different prereset for the first and second
PCI functions. This used to be done by branching from
hpt374_error_handler(). The proper way to do this is to use
separate ops and port_info tables for each function. Converted.

libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and
register it with libata core layer. This allows low level drivers
high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of
boilerplate entries.
This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar
controllers which differ slightly. They share most of the operations
except for a few. However, the driver still needs to list all
operations for each variant. This results in large number of
duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone
as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are.
This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make
updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone. When
compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up
accumulating inconsistencies over time. Some of those inconsistencies
cause immediate problems and fixed. Others just remain there dormant
making maintenance increasingly difficult.
To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations
inheritance. To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables
overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's
class inheritance. An ops table has ->inherits field which can be set
to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop. When the host
is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which
isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it
specified. This operation is called finalization and done only once
per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about
it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can
update it.
libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from -
base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma. To avoid overriding these ops
accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always
inherit these instead of using them directly.
After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after
the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers
which didn't use to. The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect
and the field will soon be removed by later patch.
* sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take
advantage of ops inheritance.

->irq_clear() is used to clear IRQ bit of a SFF controller and isn't
useful for drivers which don't use libata SFF HSM implementation.
However, it's a required callback and many drivers implement their own
noop version as placeholder. This patch implements ata_noop_irq_clear
and use it to replace those custom placeholders.
Also, SFF drivers which don't support BMDMA don't need to use
ata_bmdma_irq_clear(). It becomes noop if BMDMA address isn't

Some controllers can't reliably record the initial D2H FIS after SATA
link is brought online for whatever reason. Advanced controllers
which don't have traditional TF register based interface often have
this problem as they don't really have the TF registers to update
while the controller and link are being initialized.
SKIP_D2H_BSY works around the problem by skipping the wait for device
readiness before issuing SRST, so for such controllers libata issues
SRST blindly and hopes for the best.
Now that libata defaults to hardreset, this workaround is no longer
necessary. For controllers which have support for hardreset, SRST is
never issued by itself. It is only issued as follow-up SRST for
device classification and PMP initialization, so there's no need to
wait for it from prereset.
Kill ATA_LFLAG_SKIP_D2H_BSY.

When both soft and hard resets are available, libata preferred
softreset till now. The logic behind it was to be softer to devices;
however, this doesn't really help much. Rationales for the change:
* BIOS may freeze lock certain things during boot and softreset can't
unlock those. This by itself is okay but during operation PHY event
or other error conditions can trigger hardreset and the device may
end up with different configuration.
For example, after a hardreset, previously unlockable HPA can be
unlocked resulting in different device size and thus revalidation
failure. Similar condition can occur during or after resume.
* Certain ATAPI devices require hardreset to recover after certain
error conditions. On PATA, this is done by issuing the DEVICE RESET
command. On SATA, COMRESET has equivalent effect. The problem is
that DEVICE RESET needs its own execution protocol.
For SFF controllers with bare TF access, it can be easily
implemented but more advanced controllers (e.g. ahci and sata_sil24)
require specialized implementations. Simply using hardreset solves
the problem nicely.
* COMRESET initialization sequence is the norm in SATA land and many
SATA devices don't work properly if only SRST is used. For example,
some PMPs behave this way and libata works around by always issuing
hardreset if the host supports PMP.
Like the above example, libata has developed a number of mechanisms
aiming to promote softreset to hardreset if softreset is not going
to work. This approach is time consuming and error prone.
Also, note that, dependingon how you read the specs, it could be
argued that PMP fan-out ports require COMRESET to start operation.
In fact, all the PMPs on the market except one don't work properly
if COMRESET is not issued to fan-out ports after PMP reset.
* COMRESET is an integral part of SATA connection and any working
device should be able to handle COMRESET properly. After all, it's
the way to signal hardreset during reboot. This is the most used
and recommended (at least by the ahci spec) method of resetting
devices.
So, this patch makes libata prefer hardreset over softreset by making
the following changes.
* Rename ATA_EH_RESET_MASK to ATA_EH_RESET and use it whereever
ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET used to be used. ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET is
now only used to tell prereset whether soft or hard reset will be
issued.
* Strip out now unneeded promote-to-hardreset logics from
ata_eh_reset(), ata_std_prereset(), sata_pmp_std_prereset() and
other places.
