[libata] replace sata_settings with devslp_timing

2013-01-14T18:29:15+00:00

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).

Revert "libata: check SATA_SETTINGS log with HW Feature Ctrl"

2012-12-14T14:34:01+00:00

This reverts commit de90cd71f68e947d3bd6c3f2ef5731ead010a768.

  Please suspend this patch because I just received two new
  DevSlp drives but found word 78 bit 5 is _not_ set.

  I'm checking with the drive vendor whether he gave me
  the wrong information. If bit 5 is not the necessary and
  sufficient condition, I will implement another patch to
  replace ata_device->sata_settings into ->devslp_timing.

libata: implement ata_platform_remove_one()

2012-12-03T10:15:17+00:00

This relatively simple boiler-plate code is repeated in several platform
drivers. We should implement a common version in libata.

libata: set dma_mode to 0xff in reset

2012-12-03T10:07:13+00:00

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: check SATA_SETTINGS log with HW Feature Ctrl

2012-12-03T09:57:37+00:00

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) should be used.

Quoting SATA spec 3.1:
If Hardware Feature Control is supported, then:
a) IDENTIFY DEVICE data word 78 bit 5 (see 13.2.1.18) shall be
set to one;
b) the SET FEATURES Select Hardware Feature Control subcommand
shall be supported (see 13.3.8);
c) page 08h of the Identify Device Data log (see 13.7.7) shall
be supported;

This patch is not tested on SATA HDD with DevSlp supported.

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
