<content type='text'>
Before commit 7627a0edef54 ("ata: ahci: Drop low power policy board type")
the ATI AHCI controllers specified board type 'board_ahci' rather than
board type 'board_ahci'. This means that LPM was historically not enabled
for the ATI AHCI controllers.

By looking at commit 7a8526a5cd51 ("libata: Add ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_ATI
for Samsung 860 and 870 SSD."), it is clear that, for some unknown reason,
that Samsung SSDs do not play nice with ATI AHCI controllers. (When using
other AHCI controllers, NCQ can be enabled on these Samsung SSDs without
issues.)

In a similar way, from user reports, it is clear the ATI AHCI controllers
can enable LPM on e.g. Maxtor HDDs perfectly fine, but when enabling LPM
on certain Samsung SSDs, things break. (E.g. the SSDs will not get detected
by the ATI AHCI controller even after a COMRESET.)

Yet, when using LPM on these Samsung SSDs with other AHCI controllers, e.g.
Intel AHCI controllers, these Samsung drives appear to work perfectly fine.

Considering that the combination of ATI + Samsung, for some unknown reason,
does not seem to work well, disable LPM when detecting an ATI AHCI
controller with a problematic Samsung SSD.

Apply this new ATA_QUIRK_NO_LPM_ON_ATI quirk for all Samsung SSDs that have
already been reported to not play nice with ATI (ATA_QUIRK_NO_NCQ_ON_ATI).

<title>Revert "ata: libata-core: Add ATA_QUIRK_NOLPM for Samsung SSD 870 QVO drives"</title>

This reverts commit cc77e2ce187d26cc66af3577bf896d7410eb25ab.

It was reported that adding ATA_QUIRK_NOLPM for Samsung SSD 870 QVO drives
breaks entering lower package states for certain systems.

It turns out that Samsung SSD 870 QVO actually has working LPM when using
a recent SSD firmware version.

The author of commit cc77e2ce187d ("ata: libata-core: Add ATA_QUIRK_NOLPM
for Samsung SSD 870 QVO drives") reported himself that only older SSD
firmware versions have broken LPM:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/93c10d38-718c-459d-84a5-4d87680b4da7@debian.org/

Unfortunately, he did not specify which older firmware version he was using
which had broken LPM.

Let's revert this quirk, which has FW version field specified as NULL
(which means that it applies for all Samsung SSD 870 QVO firmware versions)
for now. Once the author reports which older firmware version(s) that are
broken, we can create a more fine grained quirk, which populates the FW
version field accordingly.

Disabling link power management on Samsung SSD 870 QVO drives
to make them work again after the switch of the default LPM
policy to low.

Testing so far has shown that regular Samsung SSD 870
(the non QVO variants) do not need it and work fine with
the default LPM policy.

The ncq_sense_buf buffer field of struct ata_port is allocated and used
only for devices that support the Command Duration Limits (CDL) feature.
However, the cdl buffer of struct ata_device, which is used to cache the
command duration limits log page for devices supporting CDL is always
allocated as part of struct ata_device, which is wasteful of memory for
devices that do not support this feature.

Clean this up by defining both buffers as part of the new ata_cdl
structure and allocating this structure only for devices that support
the CDL feature. This new structure is attached to struct ata_device
using the cdl pointer.

The functions ata_dev_init_cdl_resources() and
ata_dev_cleanup_cdl_resources() are defined to manage this new structure
allocation, initialization and freeing when a port is removed or a
device disabled. ata_dev_init_cdl_resources() is called from
ata_dev_config_cdl() only for devices that support CDL.
ata_dev_cleanup_cdl_resources() is called from ata_dev_free_resources()
to free the ata_cdl structure when a device is being disabled by EH.

Note that the name of the former cdl log buffer of struct ata_device is
changed to desc_log_buf to make it clearer that it is a buffer for the
limit descriptors log page.

This change reduces the size of struct ata_device, thus reducing memory
usage for ATA devices that do not support the CDL feature.

<content type='text'>
Introduce the function ata_dev_free_resources() to free the resources
allocated to support a device features. For now, this function is
reduced to calling zpodd_exit() for devices that have this feature
enabled.

ata_dev_free_resources() is called from ata_eh_dev_disable() as this
function is always called for all devices attached to a port that is
being detached and for devices that are being disabled due to being
removed (detached) from the system or due to errors.

With this change, the call to zpodd_exit() done in ata_port_detach()
and ata_scsi_handle_link_detach() are removed as these functions
remove all devices attached to the link or port using libata EH, thus
resulting in ata_eh_dev_disable() being called and the zpodd_exit()
function being executed.

Introduce the function ata_dev_free_resources() to free the resources
allocated to support a device features. For now, this function is
reduced to calling zpodd_exit() for devices that have this feature
enabled.

ata_dev_free_resources() is called from ata_eh_dev_disable() as this
function is always called for all devices attached to a port that is
being detached and for devices that are being disabled due to being
removed (detached) from the system or due to errors.

With this change, the call to zpodd_exit() done in ata_port_detach()
and ata_scsi_handle_link_detach() are removed as these functions
remove all devices attached to the link or port using libata EH, thus
resulting in ata_eh_dev_disable() being called and the zpodd_exit()
function being executed.

<title>ata: libata: Move sector_buf from struct ata_port to struct ata_device</title>

The 512B buffer sector_buf field of struct ata_port is used for scanning
devices as well as during error recovery with ata EH. This buffer is
thus useless if a port does not have a device connected to it.
And also given that commands using this buffer are issued to devices,
and not to ports, move this buffer definition from struct ata_port to
struct ata_device.

This change slightly increases system memory usage for systems using a
port-multiplier as in that case we do not need a per-device buffer for
scanning devices (PMP does not allow parallel scanning) nor for EH (as
when entering EH we are guaranteed that all commands to all devices
connected to the PMP have completed or have been aborted). However,
this change reduces memory usage on systems that have many ports with
only few devices rives connected, which is a much more common use case
than the PMP use case.

Unlike ata_std_prereset() and ata_std_postreset(), the function
sata_std_hardreset() applies only to SATA devices, as its name implies.
So move its definition to libata-sata.c.

Together with this, also move the definition of sata_port_ops to
libata-sata.c, where it belongs.

Move the definition of the function sata_down_spd_limit() to
libata-sata.c where it belongs, together with sata_set_spd().
The helper function ata_sstatus_online() is also changed to be an
inline function defined in drivers/ata/libata.h.
