Traditional IDE interface sucks in that it doesn't have a reliable IRQ pending bit, so if the controller raises IRQ while the driver is expecting it not to, the IRQ won't be cleared and eventually the IRQ line will be killed by interrupt subsystem. Some controllers have non-standard mechanism to indicate IRQ pending so that this condition can be detected and worked around. This patch adds an optional operation ->sff_irq_check() which will be called for each port from the ata_sff_interrupt() if an unexpected interrupt is received. If the operation returns %true, ->sff_check_status() and ->sff_irq_clear() will be cleared for the port. Note that this doesn't mark the interrupt as handled so it won't prevent IRQ subsystem from killing the IRQ if this mechanism fails to clear the spurious IRQ. This patch also implements ->sff_irq_check() for ata_piix. Note that this adds slight overhead to shared IRQ operation as IRQs which are destined for other controllers will trigger extra register accesses to check whether IDE interrupt is pending but this solves rare screaming IRQ cases and for some curious reason also helps weird BIOS related glitch on Samsung n130 as reported in bko#14314. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14314 * piix_base_ops dropped as suggested by Sergei. * Spurious IRQ detection doesn't kick in anymore if polling qc is in progress. This provides less protection but some controllers have possible data corruption issues if the wrong register is accessed while a command is in progress.

There's no need to clear the fast interrupt bit in hpt366_set_mode() since we're doing it in hpt366_init_chipset() already. While at it, rename 'addr1' local variable to 'addr' and exclude 'ap->port_no' from its calculation as HPT36x are single-channel-per-function chips.

As these drivers' set_piomode() and set_dmamode() methods are almost identical, factor out the common hpt{37x|3x2n}_set_mode() function to be called by both of them, the same as in 'pata_hpt366' driver. This results in ~5% decrease in the 'pata_hpt37x' driver binary size and in ~4% decrease in the 'pata_hpt3x2n' driver binary size (as measured on x86-32).

The UltraDMA Tss timing must be stretched with ATA clock of 66 MHz, but the driver only does this when PCI clock is 66 MHz, whereas it always programs DPLL clock (which is used as the ATA clock) to 66 MHz.

Currently a queue can only dispatch up to 4 requests if there are other queues. This isn't optimal, device can handle more requests, for example, AHCI can handle 31 requests. I can understand the limit is for fairness, but we could do a tweak: if the queue still has a lot of slice left, sounds we could ignore the limit. Test shows this boost my workload (two thread randread of a SSD) from 78m/s to 100m/s. Thanks for suggestions from Corrado and Vivek for the patch.

merge_bvec_fn() returns bvec->bv_len on success. So we have to check against this value. But in case of fs_optimization merge we compare with wrong value.

Counters for requests "in flight" and "in driver" are used asymmetrically in cfq_may_dispatch, and have slightly different meaning. We split the rq_in_flight counter (was sync_flight) to count both sync and async requests, in order to use this one, which is more accurate in some corner cases. The rq_in_driver counter is coalesced, since individual sync/async counts are not used any more. Signed-off-by: Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

cciss: Fix problem with scatter gather elements in the scsi half of the driver When support for more than 31 scatter gather elements was added to the block half of the driver, the SCSI half of the driver was not addressed, and the bump from 31 to 32 scatter gather elements in the command block itself (not chained) actually broke the SCSI half of the driver, so that any transfer requiring 32 scatter gather elements wouldn't work. This fix also increases the max transfer size and size of the scatter gather table to the limit supported by the controller Signed-off-by: Stephen M.
