commit 0060beec0bfa647c4b510df188b1c4673a197839 upstream.

A port link power management (LPM) policy can be controlled using the
link_power_management_policy sysfs host attribute. However, this
attribute exists also for hosts that do not support LPM and in such
case, attempting to change the LPM policy for the host (port) will fail
with -EOPNOTSUPP.

Introduce the new sysfs link_power_management_supported host attribute
to indicate to the user if a the port and the devices connected to the
port for the host support LPM, which implies that the
link_power_management_policy attribute can be used.

Since checking that a port and its devices support LPM is common between
the new ata_scsi_lpm_supported_show() function and the existing
ata_scsi_lpm_store() function, the new helper ata_scsi_lpm_supported()
is introduced.

[ Upstream commit f7870e8d345cdabfb94bcbdcba6a07e050f8705e ]

The AHCI specification version 1.3.1 section 8.3.1.4 (Software
Requirements and Precedence) states that:

If CAP.SSC or CAP.PSC is cleared to ‘0’, software should disable
device-initiated power management by issuing the appropriate SET
FEATURES command to the device.

To satisfy this constraint and force ata_dev_configure to disable the
device DIPM feature, modify ahci_update_initial_lpm_policy() to set the
ATA_FLAG_NO_DIPM flag on ports that have a host with either the
ATA_HOST_NO_PART flag set or the ATA_HOST_NO_SSC flag set.

[ Upstream commit 65b2c92f69d3df81422d27e5be012e357e733241 ]

Commit fa997b0576c9 ("ata: ahci: Do not enable LPM if no LPM states are
supported by the HBA") introduced an early return in
ahci_update_initial_lpm_policy() to ensure that the target_lpm_policy
of ports belonging to a host that does not support the Partial, Slumber
and DevSleep power states is unchanged and remains set to
ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN and thus prevents the execution of
ata_eh_link_set_lpm().

However, a user or a system daemon (e.g. systemd-udevd) may still
attempt changing the LPM policy through the sysfs
link_power_management_policy of the host.

Improve this to prevent sysfs LPM policy changes by setting the flag
ATA_FLAG_NO_LPM for the port of such host, and initialize the port
target_lpm_policy to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER to guarantee that no unsupported
low power state is being used on the port and its link.

[ Upstream commit 33877220b8641b4cde474a4229ea92c0e3637883 ]

On at least an ASRock 990FX Extreme 4 with a VIA VT6330, the devices
have not yet been enabled by the first time ata_acpi_cbl_80wire() is
called. This means that the ata_for_each_dev loop is never entered,
and a 40 wire cable is assumed.

The VIA controller on this board does not report the cable in the PCI
config space, thus having to fall back to ACPI even though no SATA
bridge is present.

The _GTM values are correctly reported by the firmware through ACPI,
which has already set up faster transfer modes, but due to the above
the controller is forced down to a maximum of UDMA/33.

Resolve this by modifying ata_acpi_cbl_80wire() to directly return the
cable type. First, an unknown cable is assumed which preserves the mode
set by the firmware, and then on subsequent calls when the devices have
been enabled, an 80 wire cable is correctly detected.

Since the function now directly returns the cable type, it is renamed
to ata_acpi_cbl_pata_type().

commit 3e0809b1664b9dc650d9dbca9a2d3ac690d4f661 upstream.

ASUS store the board name in DMI_PRODUCT_NAME rather than
DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION. (Apparently it is only Lenovo that stores the
model-name in DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION.)

Use the correct DMI identifier, DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, to match the
ASUSPRO-D840SA board, such that the quirk actually gets applied.

SATA ports with at least one hard drive model (WDC WD20EFAX-68FB5N0)
when LPM is enabled. Disabling LPM solves the issue.

commit b5acc3628898baa63658bc4125f9525f9b3dd4f3 upstream.

A user has bisected a regression which causes graphical corruptions on his
screen to commit 7627a0edef54 ("ata: ahci: Drop low power policy board
type").

Simply reverting commit 7627a0edef54 ("ata: ahci: Drop low power policy
board type") makes the graphical corruptions on his screen to go away.
(Note: there are no visible messages in dmesg that indicates a problem
with AHCI.)

The user also reports that the problem occurs regardless if there is an
HDD or an SSD connected via AHCI, so the problem is not device related.

The devices also work fine on other motherboards, so it seems specific to
the ASUSPRO-D840SA motherboard.

While enabling low power modes for AHCI is not supposed to affect
completely unrelated hardware, like a graphics card, it does however
allow the system to enter deeper PC-states, which could expose ACPI issues
that were previously not visible (because the system never entered these
lower power states before).

There are previous examples where enabling LPM exposed serious BIOS/ACPI
bugs, see e.g. commit 240630e61870 ("ahci: Disable LPM on Lenovo 50 series
laptops with a too old BIOS").

Since there hasn't been any BIOS update in years for the ASUSPRO-D840SA
motherboard, disable LPM for this board, in order to avoid entering lower
PC-states, which triggers graphical corruptions.

<title>ata: pata_via: Force PIO for ATAPI devices on VT6415/VT6330</title>

commit d29fc02caad7f94b62d56ee1b01c954f9c961ba7 upstream.

The controller has a hardware bug that can hard hang the system when
doing ATAPI DMAs without any trace of what happened. Depending on the
device attached, it can also prevent the system from booting.

In this case, the system hangs when reading the ATIP from optical media
with cdrecord -vvv -atip on an _NEC DVD_RW ND-4571A 1-01 and an
Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200A 1.06 attached to an ASRock 990FX Extreme 4,
running at UDMA/33.

The issue can be reproduced by running the same command with a cygwin
build of cdrecord on WinXP, although it requires more attempts to cause
it. The hang in that case is also resolved by forcing PIO. It doesn't
appear that VIA has produced any drivers for that OS, thus no known
workaround exists.

HDDs attached to the controller do not suffer from any DMA issues.
