ide: use correct IDE error recovery

ide: use correct IDE error recovery

IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set.
This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLEÃ IMMEDIATE when drive is not
busy) and really hoses up some drives (modern drives will not be able to
recover using this error handling).  The correct thing to do is issue a SRST
followed by a SET FEATURES command.  This is what Western Digital recommends
for error recovery and what Western Digital says Windows does. Ã ItÃ also does
not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell.

Bart:
* port the patch over the current tree
* undo the recalibration code removal
* send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status
* don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK}
  type because we need to send SET FEATURES before handling any requests
* some pre-ATA4 drives require INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command before
  other commands (except IDENTIFY) so send SET FEATURES only if there are
  no pending drive->special requests
* update comments and patch description
* any bugs introduced by this patch are mine and not Suleiman's :-)

ide: clear bmdma status in ide_intr() for ICHx controllers (revised #4)

patch 1/2 (revised):
- Fix drive->waiting_for_dma to work with CDB-intr devices.
- Do the dma status clearing in ide_intr() and add a new
  hwif->ide_dma_clear_irq for Intel ICHx controllers.

Revised per Alan, Sergei and Bart's advice.

Patch against 2.6.20-rc6. Tested ok on my ICH4 and pdc20275 adapters.
Please review/apply, thanks.

[PATCH] remove blk_queue_activity_fn

2006-12-12T09:22:23+00:00

While working on bidi support at struct request level
I have found that blk_queue_activity_fn is actually never used.
The only user is in ide-probe.c with this code:

	/* enable led activity for disk drives only */
	if (drive->media == ide_disk && hwif->led_act)
		blk_queue_activity_fn(q, hwif->led_act, drive);

And led_act is never initialized anywhere.
(Looking back at older kernels it was used in the PPC arch, but was removed around 2.6.18)
Unless it is all for future use off course.
(this patch is against linux-2.6-block.git as off 2006/12/4)

[PATCH] ide-cd: Handle strange interrupt on the Intel ESB2

2006-12-10T17:57:20+00:00

The ESB2 appears to emit spurious DMA interrupts when configured for native
mode and handling ATAPI devices.  Stratus were able to pin this bug down and
produce a patch.  This is a rework which applies the fixup only to the ESB2
(for now).  We can apply it to other chips later if the same problem is found.

This code has been tested and confirmed to fix the problem on the tested
systems.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

[PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated reset

2006-10-03T15:04:08+00:00

Michal Miroslaw reported a problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated
reset while the IDE layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash,
and provided a rough fix.

This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset state
and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress.

Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the
ioctl in question anyway.

[PATCH] Make number of IDE interfaces configurable

2006-10-03T15:04:07+00:00

Make IDE_HWIFS configurable if EMBEDDED

This lets us lop as much as 16k off an x86 build.  It's a little ugly, but
it's dead simple.  Note the fix for HWIFS < 2.

Sizing interfaces dynamically unfortunately turns out to be pretty
major surgery.
