This redoes the n_ports logic I proposed before as a bitmask.
ata_pci_init_native_mode is now used with a mask allowing for mixed mode
stuff later on. ata_pci_init_legacy_port is called with port number and
does one port now not two. Instead it is called twice by the ata init
logic which cleans both of them up.
There are stil limits in the original code left over
- IRQ/port mapping for legacy mode should be arch specific values
- You can have one legacy mode IDE adapter per PCI root bridge on some systems
- Doesn't handle mixed mode devices yet (but is now a lot closer to it)
This is my libata compatible low level driver for the Marvell SATA
family. Currently it runs in DMA mode on a 6081 chip.
The 5xxx series parts are not yet DMA capable in this driver because
the registers have differences that haven't been accounted for yet.
Basically, I'm focused on the 6xxx series right now. I apologize for
those seeing problems on the 5xxx series, I've not had a chance to
look at those problems yet.
For those curious, the previous bug causing the SCSI timeout and
subsequent panics was caused by an improper clear of hc_irq_cause in
mv_host_intr().
This version is running well in my environment (6081 chips,
with/without SW raid1) and is showing equal or better performance
compared to the Marvell driver (mv_sata) in my initial tests (timed
dd's of reads/writes to/from memory/disk).
I still need to look at the causes of occasional problems such as this:
ata11: translating stat 0x35 err 0x00 to sense
ata11: status=0x35 { DeviceFault SeekComplete CorrectedError Error }
SCSI error : <10 0 0 0> return code = 0x8000002
Current sda: sense key Hardware Error
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 3155010

Since our max_lun is unconditionally set to 1, we might as well
hardcode a LUN 0 probe, rather than a wildcard LUN scan.
The ide-scsi driver sets max_lun to a value greater than under
certain conditions:
if ((drive->id->last_lun & 0x7) != 7)
host->max_lun = (drive->id->last_lun & 0x7) + 1;
else
host->max_lun = 1;
last_lun is Word 126 of IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE, marked as obsolete
and undocumented in non-ancient specs. We'll leave it out for now.
Should the need arise to support multi-LUN ATAPI devices, we'll
probably want to add the above code.
Finally, there have been reports of REPORT LUNS commands locking up
ATAPI drives. Eliminating the wildcard LUN scan could help reduce
the trouble from problematic drives.
Replace SCSI's legacy "bang at the door" method of probing with one
directly controlled by the underlying ATA transport layer.
We now only call scsi_scan_target() for devices we find, rather than
probing every possible channel/id within a certain range.
Some Legacy megaraid cards can't actually cope with the scatter/gather
version of the READ CAPACITY command (which is what we now send them
since altering all SCSI internal I/O to go via the block layer). Fix
this (and a few other broken megaraid driver assumptions) by sending
the non-sg version of the command if the sg list only has a single
element.

The new scsi_forget_host routine takes the moderately controversial step
of iterating over devices for removal rather than iterating over targets.
This makes more sense to me because the current scheme treats targets as
second-class citizens, created and removed on demand, rather than as
objects corresponding to actual hardware. (Also I couldn't figure out any
safe way to iterate over the target list, since it's not so easy to tell

OK, my fault. Your fix is almost correct .. I was going to do this

However, I decided to leave it in to exercise the scsi_unprep_request()

that we also use this path for retries. Since we kill and reget the

The original API returned either an ERR_PTR() or a refcounted sdev.
Unfortunately, if it's successful, you need to do a scsi_device_put() on
the sdev otherwise the refcounting is wrong.
Everyone seems to expect that scsi_add_device() should be callable
without doing the ref put, so alter the API so it is (we still have
__scsi_add_device with the original behaviour).
The only actual caller that needs altering is the one in firewire ...
not because it gets this right, but because it acts on the error if one

The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model,
and various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and managment
interfaces to userspace.
In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces
two additional intermediate objects: The SAS PHY as represented by struct
sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS
remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a
SAS Expander or end device. Note that this is purely a software concept, the
underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same.
There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same
for all PHYs in a port.
This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices
and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in
phase2 after this submission. In a third phase I will add additional
managment infrastructure.

If a filesystem, while writing out data, decides that it is good
to issue a cache flush on a SCSI drive (or other 'sd' device), it will
call blkdev_issue_flush which calls ->issue_flush_fn which is
scsi_issue_flush_fn.
This calls sd_issue_flush which calls sd_sync_cache, which calls
scsi_execute_request.
This will (as sshdr != NULL) call
kmalloc(SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, GFP_KERNEL)
If memory is tight, the presence of GFP_KERNEL may cause write
requests to be sent to some filesystem to free up memory, however if
that filesystem is waiting for the issue_flush_fn to complete, you
could get a deadlock.
I wonder if it might be more appropriate to use GFP_NOIO as in the
following patch.
I wonder if it might be even more appropriate to cope better with a
kmalloc failure, especially as in this use, sd_sync_cache only will
use the sense information to print out a more informative error

ICH6 spec defines the PORT_ bits as:
PORT_ENABLED (R/W):
0 = Disabled. The port is in the off state and cannot detect any
devices.
1 = Enabled. The port can transition between the on, partial, and
slumber states and can detect devices.
PORT_PRESENT (R/O)
The status of this bit may change at any time. This bit is cleared
when the port is disabled via PORT_ENABLED. This bit is not cleared upon
surprise removal of a device.
So from a textual view it is not necessary that PORT_PRESENT _must_ be set,
especially if a device detection has to be done anyway. And, in fact, this
is the view that ACER has been taken with its new Laptops (e.g. Travelmate
4150).
And the definition of PORT_ENABLED / PORT_PRESENT is mixed up, btw.
