[ Upstream commit bf476fe22aa1851bab4728e0c49025a6a0bea307 ]

In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of
ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer,
there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get
reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to
'&amp;ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good...

commit c745dfc541e78428ba3986f1d17fe1dfdaca8184 upstream.

The concurrent positioning ranges log is not a fixed size and may depend
on how many ranges are supported by the device. This patch uses the size
reported in the GPL directory to determine the number of pages supported
by the device before attempting to read this log page.

This resolves this error from the dmesg output:
    ata6.00: Read log 0x47 page 0x00 failed, Emask 0x1

Samsung' 840 EVO with the latest firmware (EXT0DB6Q) locks up with
the a message: "READ LOG DMA EXT failed, trying PIO" during boot.

Initially this was discovered because it caused a crash
with the sata_dwc_460ex controller on a WD MyBook Live DUO.

The reporter "Tice Rex" which has the unique opportunity that he
has two Samsung 840 EVO SSD! One with the older firmware "EXT0BB0Q"
which booted fine and didn't expose "READ LOG DMA EXT". But the
newer/latest firmware "EXT0DB6Q" caused the headaches.

Add the explicit error and status register fields to 'struct ata_taskfile'
using the anonymous *union*s ('struct ide_taskfile' had that for ages!) and
update the libata taskfile code accordingly. There should be no object code

ata_host_suspend() always returns 0, so the result checks in many drivers
look pointless.  Let's make this function return *void* instead of *int*.

This device is a CF card, or possibly an SSD in CF form factor.
It supports NCQ and high speed DMA.

While it also advertises TRIM support, I/O errors are reported
when the discard mount option fstrim is used. TRIM also fails
when disabling NCQ and not just as an NCQ command.

TRIM must be disabled for this device.

<content type='text'>
The concurrent positioning ranges log page 47h is a general purpose log
page and not a subpage of the indentify device log. Using
ata_identify_page_supported() to test for concurrent positioning ranges
support is thus wrong. ata_log_supported() must be used.

Furthermore, unlike other advanced ATA features (e.g. NCQ priority),
accesses to the concurrent positioning ranges log page are not gated by
a feature bit from the device IDENTIFY data. Since many older drives
react badly to the READ LOG EXT and/or READ LOG DMA EXT commands isued
to read device log pages, avoid problems with older drives by limiting
the concurrent positioning ranges support detection to drives
implementing at least the ACS-4 ATA standard (major version 11). This
additional condition effectively turns ata_dev_config_cpr() into a nop
for older drives, avoiding problems in the field.

06f6c4c6c3e8 ("ata: libata: add missing ata_identify_page_supported() calls")
introduced additional calls to ata_identify_page_supported(), thus also
adding indirectly accesses to the device log directory log page through
ata_log_supported(). Reading this log page causes SATADOM-ML 3ME devices
to lock up.

Introduce the horkage flag ATA_HORKAGE_NO_LOG_DIR to prevent accesses to
the log directory in ata_log_supported() and add a blacklist entry
with this flag for "SATADOM-ML 3ME" devices.

06f6c4c6c3e8 ("ata: libata: add missing ata_identify_page_supported() calls")
introduced additional calls to ata_identify_page_supported(), thus also
adding indirectly accesses to the device log directory log page through
ata_log_supported(). Reading this log page causes SATADOM-ML 3ME devices
to lock up.

Introduce the horkage flag ATA_HORKAGE_NO_LOG_DIR to prevent accesses to
the log directory in ata_log_supported() and add a blacklist entry
with this flag for "SATADOM-ML 3ME" devices.

Fixes: 636f6e2af4fb ("libata: add horkage for missing Identify Device log")

ata_std_prereset() always returns 0, hence the check in ata_sff_prereset()
is pointless and thus it also can return only 0 (however, we cannot change
the prototypes of ata_{sff|std}_prereset() as they implement the driver's
prereset() method).
