libata-sff: fix spurious IRQ handling
Commit 27943620 introduced spurious IRQ handling but it has a race condition where valid completion can be lost while trying to clear spurious IRQ leading to occassional command timeouts. This patch improves SFF interrupt handler such that 1. Once BMDMA HSM is stopped, the condition is never considered spurious. As there's no way to resume stopped BMDMA HSM, if device status doesn't agree with BMDMA status, the only way out is aborting the command (otherwise, it will just end up timing out). 2. ap->ops->sff_check_status() can be safely called to clear spurious device IRQ as it atomically returns completion status but BMDMA IRQ status can't be cleared in safe way if command is in flight. After a spurious IRQ, call ap->ops->sff_irq_clear() only if the respective device is idle and retry completion if sff_check_status() indicates command completion. Please note that ata_piix uses bmdma_status for sff_irq_check() and #2 won't weaken spurious IRQ handling even with in-flight command because if bmdma_status indicates IRQ pending but device status is not on spurious check, the next IRQ handler invocation will abort the command due to #1. This fixes bko#15537. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15537Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Benton <b3nton@gmail.com> Cc: Petr Uzel <petr.uzel@centrum.cz> Cc: Rafael J.
