libata: Fix several inaccuracies in developer's guide

2010-05-05T18:48:27+00:00

Commit 6bfff31e77cfa1b13490337e5a4dbaa3407e83ac (libata: kill probe_ent
and related helpers) killed ata_device_add() but didn't remove references
to it from the libata developer's guide.

Commits 9363c3825ea9ad76561eb48a395349dd29211ed6 (libata: rename SFF
functions) and 5682ed33aae05d10a25c95633ef9d9c062825888 (libata: rename
SFF port ops) renamed the taskfile access methods but didn't update the
developer's guide.  Commit c9f75b04ed5ed65a058d18a8a8dda50632a96de8
(libata: kill ata_noop_dev_select()) didn't update the developer's
guide as well.

The guide also refers to the long gone ata_pio_data_xfer_noirq(),
ata_pio_data_xfer(), and ata_mmio_data_xfer() -- replace those by
the modern ata_sff_data_xfer_noirq(), ata_sff_data_xfer(), and
ata_sff_data_xfer32().

Also, remove the reference to non-existant ata_port_stop()...

[SCSI] libsas: fix scr_read/write users and update the libata documentation

2007-07-20T20:52:08+00:00

This fixes up the usage in libsas (which are easy to miss, since they're
only in the scsi-misc tree) ... and also corrects the documentation on
the point of what these two function pointers actually return.

[PATCH] libata: change path to libata in libata.tmpl

Since libata moved from /drivers/scsi to /drivers/ata this template is broken.

[libata] Update docs to reflect current driver API

2006-06-14T00:27:03+00:00

[PATCH] move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class

2006-04-10T18:15:47+00:00

Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as
->eh_timed_out.

Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.

[PATCH] libata: Simplex and other mode filtering logic

2006-03-30T00:30:28+00:00

Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed
to suit Jeff)
Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel
Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes
Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode
Filter according to simplex state
Filter cable in core

This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.

Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.
