libata: Set max sector to 65535 for Slimtype DVD A DS8A8SH drive

2013-04-12T16:18:09+00:00

commit a32450e127fc6e5ca6d958ceb3cfea4d30a00846 upstream.

The Slimtype DVD A  DS8A8SH drive locks up when max sector is smaller than
65535, and the blow backtrace is observed on locking up:

INFO: task flush-8:32:1130 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

 The above trace was triggered by
   "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=32768"

 It was previously working by accident, since another bug introduced
 by 4dce8ba94c7 (libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX) caused
 all drives to use maxsect=65535.

libata: set dma_mode to 0xff in reset

2013-01-17T16:43:54+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: Prevent interface errors with Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex

2012-10-02T16:47:41+00:00

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.

libata: apply NOSETXFER horkage to the affected Pioneer drives

2011-06-23T20:40:50+00:00

regardless of firmware revision

It's unlikely NOSETXFER works for a revision of drive but doesn't for
another and pioneer doesn't seem to be fixing firmwares for the
affected drives.  Apply NOSETXFER to the affected pioneer drives
regardless of firmware revision.

libata: Power off empty ports

2011-05-20T00:50:53+00:00

Give users the option of completely powering off unoccupied
SATA ports using the existing min_power link_power_management_policy
option.  When the use selects this option on an empty port, we
will power the port off by setting DET to off.  For occupied ports,
behavior is unchanged.

libata: Pioneer DVR-216D can't do SETXFER

2011-04-24T15:34:05+00:00

 Commit 4a5610a04d415ed94af75bb1159d2621d62c8328 fixed an issue with
 the Pioneer DVR-212D not handling SETXFER correctly. An openSUSE user
 reported a similar issue with his DVR-216D that the NOSETXFER horkage
 worked around for him as well.

 This patch adds the DVR-216D (1.08) to the horkage list for NOSETXFER.

ahci: don't enable port irq before handler is registered

2011-04-24T15:34:05+00:00

The ahci_pmp_attach() & ahci_pmp_detach() unmask port irqs, but they
are also called during port initialization, before ahci host irq
handler is registered. On ce4100 platform, this sometimes triggers
"irq 4: nobody cared" message when loading driver.

Fixed this by not touching the register if the port is in frozen
state, and mark all uninitialized port as frozen.

libata: plumb sas port scan into standard libata paths

2011-03-02T07:36:45+00:00

The function ata_sas_port_init() has always really done its own thing.
However, as a precursor to moving to the libata new eh, it has to be
properly using the standard libata scan paths.  This means separating
the current libata scan paths into pieces which can be shared with
libsas and pieces which cant (really just the async call and the host
scan).
