commit c531077f40abc9f2129c4c83a30b3f8d6ce1c0e7 upstream.

When using my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex eSATAp external disk enclosure,
interface errors are always seen until 1.5Gbps is negotiated [1]. This
occurs using any disk in the enclosure, and when the disk is connected
directly with a generic passive eSATAp cable, we see stable 3Gbps
operation as expected.

Blacklist 3Gbps mode to avoid dataloss and the ~30s delay bus reset
and renegotiation incurs.

<title>[libata] Add " 2GB ATA Flash Disk"/"ADMA428M" to DMA blacklist</title>

A user has several systems with a couple of models of flash disks with IDE
connectors.  These disks work fine in 2.6.18-ish kernels but corrupt data on
new kernels.

The difference appears to be with the default I/O method used by the IDE
controller driver between the kernels.  In the older kernels, the
configuration is very conservative and the driver stays in PIO mode.  With
new kernels, the ata driver (pata_serverworks) attempts to use UDMA/66
which the drive claims to support.  This mode, however, does not appear to
work in DMA mode.  The drive does work correctly and no corruption is
seen if the kernel parameter "libata.force=5:pio0,6:pio0" is used to force
the driver to use PIO instead of DMA mode.

Blacklist these drives.  Unfortunately the model name of the drive is very
generic, " 2GB ATA Flash Disk", but the revision is specific, "ADMA428M".

Where devices are visible via more than one host we sometimes wish to
indicate that cirtain devices should be ignored on a specific host.  Add a
host flag indicating that this host wishes to ignore ATA specific devices.

<title>libata: init ata_print_id to 0</title>

When comparing the dmesg between 3.4-rc3 and 3.4-rc4 I found the
following differences:

 -ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff100 irq 47
 -ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff180 irq 47
 -ata3: DUMMY
 +ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff100 irq 47
 +ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff180 irq 47
  ata4: DUMMY
  ata5: DUMMY
 -ata6: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff380 irq 47
 +ata6: DUMMY
 +ata7: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff380 irq 47

The change of numbering comes from commit 85d6725b7c0d7e3f ("libata:
make ata_print_id atomic") that changed lines like

	ap-&gt;print_id = ata_print_id++;
		to
	ap-&gt;print_id = atomic_inc_return(&amp;ata_print_id);

As the latter behaves like ++ata_print_id, we must initialize
it to zero to start the numbering from one.

This variable is incremented from multiple contexts (module_init via
libata-lldds and the libsas discovery thread).  Make it atomic to head
off any chance of libsas and libata creating duplicate ids.

<title>[SCSI] libsas: async ata scanning</title>

libsas ata error handling is already async but this does not help the
scan case.  Move initial link recovery out from under host-&gt;scan_mutex,
and delay synchronization with eh until after all port probe/recovery
work has been queued.

Device ordering is maintained with scan order by still calling
sas_rphy_add() in order of domain discovery.

Since we now scan the domain list when invoking libata-eh we need to be
careful to check for fully initialized ata ports.

The ata port is brought back to full power state during system resume.
So its runtime PM status will have to be updated to reflect
the actual post-system sleep status.

This also fixes below warning during system suspend/resume.
