libata: replace sata_settings with devslp_timing

2013-01-28T04:48:59+00:00

commit 803739d25c2343da6d2f95eebdcbc08bf67097d4 upstream.

NCQ capability was used to check availability of SATA Settings page
from Identify Device Data Log, which contains DevSlp timing variables.
It does not work on some HDDs and leads to error messages.

IDENTIFY word 78 bit 5(Hardware Feature Control) can't work either
because it is only the sufficient condition of Identify Device data
log, not the necessary condition.

This patch replaced ata_device->sata_settings with ->devslp_timing
to only save DevSlp timing variables(8 bytes), instead of the whole
SATA Settings page(512 bytes).

libata: set dma_mode to 0xff in reset

2013-01-17T16:45:58+00:00

commit 5416912af75de9cba5d1c75b99a7888b0bbbd2fb upstream.

ata_device->dma_mode's initial value is zero, which is not a valid dma
mode, but ata_dma_enabled will return true for this value. This patch
sets dma_mode to 0xff in reset function, so that ata_dma_enabled will
not return true for this case, or it will cause problem for pata_acpi.

libata debugging: Warn when unable to find timing descriptor based on xfer_mode

2012-11-16T04:51:11+00:00

ata_timing_find_mode could return NULL which is not checked by all
low-level ATA drivers using it and cause a NULL ptr deref. Warn at least
so that possible issues can get fixed easily.

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is a large set of updates, mostly for drivers (qla2xxx [including
  support for new 83xx based card], qla4xxx, mpt2sas, bfa, zfcp, hpsa,
  be2iscsi, isci, lpfc, ipr, ibmvfc, ibmvscsi, megaraid_sas).

  There's also a rework for tape adding virtually unlimited numbers of
  tape drives plus a set of dif fixes for sd and a fix for a live lock
  on hot remove of SCSI devices.

  This round includes a signed tag pull of isci-for-3.6

libata-core: use ATA_LBA in ata_build_rw_tf()

2012-09-13T05:10:23+00:00

Since READ/WRITE FPDMA QUEUED commands are 48-bit, bit 6 of the device register
means LBA, the same as for READ/WRITE DMA EXT commands. So use ATA_LBA instead
of the bare number in ata_build_rw_tf()'s branch dedicated to the NCQ commands.

ahci: implement aggressive SATA device sleep support

2012-09-13T05:08:53+00:00

Device Sleep is a feature as described in AHCI 1.3.1 Technical Proposal.
This feature enables an HBA and SATA storage device to enter the DevSleep
interface state, enabling lower power SATA-based systems.

Aggressive Device Sleep enables the HBA to assert the DEVSLP signal as
soon as there are no commands outstanding to the device and the port
specific Device Sleep idle timer has expired. This enables autonomous
entry into the DevSleep interface state without waiting for software
in power sensitive systems.

This patch enables Aggressive Device Sleep only if both host controller
and device support it.

Tested on AMD reference board together with Device Sleep supported device
sample.
