Make libata more robust when parsing the multi_count field from a drive's identify data. This prevents us from attempting to use dubious multi_count values ad infinitum. Reset dev->multi_count to zero and reprobe it each time through this routine, as it can change on device reset. Also ensure that the reported "maximum" value is valid and is a power of two, and that the reported "count" value is valid and also a power of two. And that the "count" value is not greater than the "maximum" value. Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

For Marvell SoC chips, the HDD LED does not blink when there is disk I/O if NCQ is enabled. Add a quirk that enables blink mode for the LED while NCQ is enabled on any port of a SoC host controller. Normal LED function is restored when NCQ is not enabled on any port. The code to enable the blink mode is based on earlier code and suggestions from Frans Pop, Saeed Bishara, and possibly others.

Enable use of the "all ports" IRQ coalescing optimization for GEN_II / GEN_IIE chips that have dual host-controllers (8-ports). Currently only the 6081 chip qualifies, but other chips may come along someday. Rather than each half of the chip having to satisfy a local set of coalescing thresholds, use of this feature groups all ports together under a single set of thresholds.

Add IRQ coalescing to sata_mv (off by default). This feature can reduce total interrupt overhead for RAID setups in some situations, by deferring the interrupt signal until one or both of: a) a specified io_count (completed SATA commands) is achieved, or b) a specified time interval elapses after an IO completion. For now, module parameters are used to set the irq_coalescing_io_count and irq_coalescing_usecs (timeout) globally. These may eventually be supplemented with sysfs attributes, so that thresholds can be set on-the-fly and on a per-chip (or even per-host_controller) basis.

platform_get_irq() can return -ENXIO, but since 'irq' is an unsigned int, it does not show when the IRQ resource wasn't found. Make irq an int so that we can use a single variable to test the platform_get_irq() return value.

This is necessary for use with the upcoming "mv_qc_issue_fis()" patch, but is being added separately here for easier code review. When using command issue via the "mv_qc_issue_fis()" mechanism, the initial ATA_BUSY bit does not show in the ATA status (shadow) register. This can confuse libata! So here we add a hook to fake ATA_BUSY for that situation, until the first time a BUSY, DRQ, or ERR bit is seen.

so that it doesn't miss any protocols. Handle future cases where a qc is specially marked for polled issue or where a particular chip version prefers interrupts over polling for PIO.

This also gets rid of any need for mv_mode_filter(). Using basic DMA on GEN_IIE requires setting an undocumented bit in an undocumented register. For safety, we clear that bit again when switching back to EDMA mode. To avoid a performance penalty when switching modes, we cache the register in port_priv, as already done for other regs.

Maintain a local (mv_port_priv) cache of frequently accessed registers, to avoid having to re-read them (very slow) on every transistion between EDMA and non-EDMA modes. This speeds up things like flushing the drive write cache, and anything using basic DMA transfers. Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable. This is automatically handled by pci. Drop it. This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during boot. However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix. Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever disables IRQ for the controller. However, as this change has slight possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

I'm not quite sure what freezing and thawing is used for. Tests showed that the port is being frozen at initialisation state and thawed right afterwards, then the functions were not called anymore. Dropping the complete custom code for handling the frozen state seems to work at least for a standard use case including mounting a partition, copying some files in it (in parallel) and finally removing them and unmounting the partition.

The biggest difference between rb532_pata_data_xfer() and ata_sff_data_xfer32() is the call to ata_sff_pause() at the end of rb532_pata_data_xfer() which I suppose to be unnecessary since it works without. I've also tested using ata_sff_data_xfer() as replacement, but since we know that the driver supports 32bit IO, using the optimised version should be safe.

Since the delay used internally is just the same as ata_sff_pause() uses, rb532_pata_finish_io() does exactly the same as ata_sff_pause() and thus can be replaced by the later one. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <n0-1@freewrt.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections. (This was reported against Fedora, which appears to be the only distro doing any building against gcc-4.4 at present: RH bz#486545.)

This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.
