commit 88474ad734fb2000805c63e01cc53ea930adf2c7 upstream.

For the ATA features subpage of the control mode page, the T10 SAT-6
specifications state that:

For a MODE SENSE command, the SATL shall return the CDL_CTRL field value
that was last set by an application client.

However, the function ata_msense_control_ata_feature() always sets the
CDL_CTRL field to the 0x02 value to indicate support for the CDL T2A and
T2B pages. This is thus incorrect and the value 0x02 must be reported
only after the user enables the CDL feature, which is indicated with the
ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED device flag. When this flag is not set, the
CDL_CTRL field of the ATA feature subpage of the control mode page must
report a value of 0x00.

Fix ata_msense_control_ata_feature() to report the correct values for
the CDL_CTRL field, according to the enable/disable state of the device
CDL feature.

The function ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() has a return type defined
as unsigned int but this function may return negative error codes, which
are correctly propagated up the call chain as integers.

Fix ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() to have the correct int return
type.

While at it, also fix a typo in this function description comment.

<content type='text'>
commit 17e897a456752ec9c2d7afb3d9baf268b442451b upstream.

With ATA devices supporting the CDL feature, using CDL requires that the
feature be enabled with a SET FEATURES command. This command is issued
as the translated command for the MODE SELECT command issued by
scsi_cdl_enable() when the user enables CDL through the device
cdl_enable sysfs attribute.

Currently, ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() always translates a MODE
SELECT command for the ATA features subpage of the control mode page to
a SET FEATURES command to enable or disable CDL based on the cdl_ctrl
field. However, there is no need to issue the SET FEATURES command if:
1) The MODE SELECT command requests disabling CDL and CDL is already
   disabled.
2) The MODE SELECT command requests enabling CDL and CDL is already
   enabled.

Fix ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() to issue the SET FEATURES command
only when necessary. Since enabling CDL also implies a reset of the CDL
statistics log page, avoiding useless CDL enable operations also avoids
clearing the CDL statistics log.

Also add debug messages to clearly signal when CDL is being enabled or
disabled using a SET FEATURES command.

[ Upstream commit 399eab7f92fb73ffe621294a2d6bec8fc9f3b36b ]

When filling the taskfile result for a successful NCQ command, we use
the SDB FIS from the FIS Receive Area, see e.g. ahci_qc_ncq_fill_rtf().

However, the SDB FIS only has fields STATUS and ERROR.

For a successful NCQ command that has sense data, we will have a
successful sense data descriptor, in the Sense Data for Successful NCQ
Commands log.

Since we have access to additional taskfile result fields, fill in these
additional fields in qc-&gt;result_tf.

This matches how for failing/aborted NCQ commands, we will use e.g.
ahci_qc_fill_rtf() to fill in some fields, but then for the command that
actually caused the NCQ error, we will use ata_eh_read_log_10h(), which
provides additional fields, saving additional fields/overriding the
qc-&gt;result_tf that was fetched using ahci_qc_fill_rtf().

[ Upstream commit 0507c777f5d8f9e34b137d28ee263599a7b81242 ]

We use CD/DVD drives under Marvell 88SE9215 SATA controller on many
Loongson-based machines. We found its PIO doesn't work well, and on the
opposite its DMA seems work very well.

We don't know the detail of the 88SE9215 SATA controller, but we have
tested different CD/DVD drives and they all have problems under 88SE9215
(but they all work well under an Intel SATA controller). So, we consider
this problem is bound to 88SE9215 SATA controller rather than bound to
CD/DVD drives.

As a solution, we define a new dedicated AHCI board id which is named
board_ahci_yes_fbs_atapi_dma for 88SE9215, and for this id we set the
AHCI_HFLAG_ATAPI_DMA_QUIRK and ATA_QUIRK_ATAPI_MOD16_DMA flags on the
SATA controller in order to prefer ATAPI DMA.

[ Upstream commit 91ec84f8eaddbc93d7c62e363d68aeb7b89879c7 ]

atapi_eh_request_sense() currently uses ATAPI DMA if the SATA controller
has ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA (PIO cmds via DMA) set.

However, ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA is a flag that can be set by a low-level driver
on a port at initialization time, before any devices are scanned.

If a controller detects a connected device that only supports PIO, we set
the flag ATA_DFLAG_PIO.

Modify atapi_eh_request_sense() to not use ATAPI DMA if the connected
device only supports PIO.

[ Upstream commit deca423213cb33feda15e261e7b5b992077a6a08 ]

Commit ae1f3db006b7 ("ata: ahci: do not enable LPM on external ports")
changed so that LPM is not enabled on external ports (hotplug-capable or
eSATA ports).

This is because hotplug and LPM are mutually exclusive, see 7.3.1 Hot Plug
Removal Detection and Power Management Interaction in AHCI 1.3.1.

This does require that firmware has set the appropate bits (HPCP or ESP)
in PxCMD (which is a per port register in the AHCI controller).

If the firmware has failed to mark a port as hotplug-capable or eSATA in
PxCMD, then there is currently not much a user can do.

If LPM is enabled on the port, hotplug insertions and removals will not be
detected on that port.

In order to allow a user to fix up broken firmware, add 'external' to the
libata.force kernel parameter.

libata.force can be specified either on the kernel command line, or as a
kernel module parameter.

[ Upstream commit deca423213cb33feda15e261e7b5b992077a6a08 ]

Commit ae1f3db006b7 ("ata: ahci: do not enable LPM on external ports")
changed so that LPM is not enabled on external ports (hotplug-capable or
eSATA ports).

This is because hotplug and LPM are mutually exclusive, see 7.3.1 Hot Plug
Removal Detection and Power Management Interaction in AHCI 1.3.1.

This does require that firmware has set the appropate bits (HPCP or ESP)
in PxCMD (which is a per port register in the AHCI controller).

If the firmware has failed to mark a port as hotplug-capable or eSATA in
PxCMD, then there is currently not much a user can do.

If LPM is enabled on the port, hotplug insertions and removals will not be
detected on that port.

In order to allow a user to fix up broken firmware, add 'external' to the
libata.force kernel parameter.

libata.force can be specified either on the kernel command line, or as a
kernel module parameter.

<title>ata: sata_sx4: Add error handling in pdc20621_i2c_read()</title>

[ Upstream commit 8d46a27085039158eb5e253ab8a35a0e33b5e864 ]

The function pdc20621_prog_dimm0() calls the function pdc20621_i2c_read()
but does not handle the error if the read fails. This could lead to
process with invalid data. A proper implementation can be found in
/source/drivers/ata/sata_sx4.c, pdc20621_prog_dimm_global(). As mentioned
in its commit: bb44e154e25125bef31fa956785e90fccd24610b, the variable spd0
might be used uninitialized when pdc20621_i2c_read() fails.

Add error handling to pdc20621_i2c_read(). If a read operation fails,
an error message is logged via dev_err(), and return a negative error
code.

Add error handling to pdc20621_prog_dimm0() in pdc20621_dimm_init(), and
return a negative error code if pdc20621_prog_dimm0() fails.

[ Upstream commit ad320e408a8c95a282ab9c05cdf0c9b95e317985 ]

devm_ioremap() returns NULL on error. Currently, pxa_ata_probe() does
not check for this case, which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_ioremap() to prevent this issue.
