<content type='text'>
commit ea08aec7e77bfd6599489ec430f9f859ab84575a upstream.

Commit 1527f69204fe ("ata: ahci: Add Green Sardine vendor ID as
board_ahci_mobile") added an explicit entry for AMD Green Sardine
AHCI controller using the board_ahci_mobile configuration (this
configuration has later been renamed to board_ahci_low_power).

The board_ahci_low_power configuration enables support for low power
modes.

This explicit entry takes precedence over the generic AHCI controller
entry, which does not enable support for low power modes.

Therefore, when commit 1527f69204fe ("ata: ahci: Add Green Sardine
vendor ID as board_ahci_mobile") was backported to stable kernels,
it make some Pioneer optical drives, which was working perfectly fine
before the commit was backported, stop working.

The real problem is that the Pioneer optical drives do not handle low
power modes correctly. If these optical drives would have been tested
on another AHCI controller using the board_ahci_low_power configuration,
this issue would have been detected earlier.

Unfortunately, the board_ahci_low_power configuration is only used in
less than 15% of the total AHCI controller entries, so many devices
have never been tested with an AHCI controller with low power modes.

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

To facilitate debugging of drive issues in the field without kernel
changes (e.g. temporary test patches), add an entry for most horkage
flags in the force_tbl array to allow controlling these horkage
settings with the libata.force kernel boot parameter.

<content type='text'>
Similarly to the horkage flags, introduce the force_lflag_onoff() macro
to define struct ata_force_param entries of the force_tbl array that
allow turning on or off a link flag using the libata.force boot
parameter. To be consistent with naming, the macro force_lflag() is
renamed to force_lflag_on().

Using force_lflag_onoff(), define a new force_tbl entry for the
ATA_LFLAG_NO_DEBOUNCE_DELAY link flag, thus allowing testing if an
adapter requires a link debounce delay or not.

Introduce the macro definitions force_cbl(), force_spd_limit(),
force_xfer(), force_lflag(), force_horkage_on() and
force_horkage_onoff() to define with a more compact syntax the struct
ata_force_param entries in the force_tbl array defined in the function
ata_parse_force_one().

To reduce the indentation of the array declaration, force_tbl definition
is also moved out of the ata_parse_force_one() function. The entries are
also reordered to group them by type of the quirck that is applied.

Finally, fix a comment in ata_parse_force_param() incorrectly
referencing force_tbl instead of ata_force_tbl.

<content type='text'>
The data transfer mode that corresponds to the 'xfer_mode' parameter for
ata_xfer_mode2shift() is a 8-bit *unsigned* value.  Using *unsigned long*
to declare the parameter leads to a problematic implicit *int* to *unsigned
long* cast and was most probably a result of a copy/paste mistake -- use
the 'u8' type instead, as in ata_xfer_mode2mask()...

<id>4f1a22ee7b576a38dc5705837c9b0de0c7b5b064</id>
<content type='text'>
Improve ATA queued command allocation as follows:

- For attaining a qc tag for a SAS host we need to allocate a bit in
  ata_port.sas_tag_allocated bitmap.

  However we already have a unique tag per device in range
  [0, ATA_MAX_QUEUE -1] in the scsi cmnd budget token, so just use that
  instead.

- It is a bit pointless to have ata_qc_new_init() in libata-core.c since it
  pokes scsi internals, so inline it in ata_scsi_qc_new() (in
  libata-scsi.c). Also update Doc accordingly.

- Use standard SCSI helpers set_host_byte() and set_status_byte() in
  ata_scsi_qc_new().

Christoph Hellwig originally contributed the change to inline
ata_qc_new_init().
