Merge branch 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-02-12T22:30:53+00:00

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains:

   - The 4k/partition fixes for brd from Boaz/Matthew.

   - A few xen front/back block fixes from David Vrabel and Roger Pau
     Monne.

   - Floppy changes from Takashi, cleaning the device file creation.

   - Switching libata to use the new blk-mq tagging policy, removing
     code (and a suboptimal implementation) from libata.  This will
     throw you a merge conflict, since a bug in the original libata
     tagging code was fixed since this code was branched.  Trivial.
     From Shaohua.

   - Conversion of loop to blk-mq, from Ming Lei.

   - Cleanup of the io_schedule() handling in bsg from Peter Zijlstra.
     He claims it improves on unreadable code, which will cost him a
     beer.

   - Maintainer update or NDB, now handled by Markus Pargmann.

   - NVMe:
        - Optimization from me that avoids a kmalloc/kfree per IO for
          smaller (<= 8KB) IO. This cuts about 1% of high IOPS CPU
          overhead.
        - Removal of (now) dead RCU code, a relic from before NVMe was
          converted to blk-mq"

sata_dwc_460ex: disable COMPILE_TEST again

2015-02-11T02:24:57+00:00

Commit 84683a7e081f ("sata_dwc_460ex: enable COMPILE_TEST for the
driver") enabled this driver for non-ppc460-ex platforms, but it was
then disabled for ARM and ARM64 by commit 2de5a9c004e9 ("sata_dwc_460ex:
disable compilation on ARM and ARM64") because it's too noisy and
broken.

This disabled is entirely, because it's too noisy on x86-64 too, and
there's no point in disabling architectures one by one.  At a minimum,
the code isn't 64-bit clean, and even on 32-bit it is questionable
whether it makes sense.

ahci_xgene: Fix the dma state machine lockup for the ATA_CMD_SMART PIO mode command.

2015-02-03T16:16:47+00:00

This patch addresses the issue with ATA_CMD_SMART pio mode command for
enumeration and device detection with ATA devices.  The X-Gene AHCI
controller has an errata in which it cannot clear the BSY bit after
the PIO setup FIS. The dma state machine enters CMFatalErrorUpdate
state and locks up. It is the same issue as in the commit 2a0bdff6b958
("ahci-xgene: fix the dma state machine lockup for the IDENTIFY DEVICE
PIO mode command").

For example :  without this patch it results in READ DMA command failure
as shown below :

 [  126.700072] ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0
		SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen

ata: libahci: Use of_platform_device_create only if supported

2015-02-03T12:12:54+00:00

of_platform_device_create does not exist if OF_ADDRESS is not configured,
so limit its use accordingly.

Without this fix, the sparc64:allmodconfig build fails with

ERROR: "of_platform_device_create" [drivers/ata/libahci_platform.ko] undefined!

sata_mv: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call "phy_power_off"

2015-02-03T12:05:04+00:00

The phy_power_off() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

ata: pata_platform: fix owner module reference mismatch for scsi host

2015-01-28T23:45:23+00:00

The owner module reference of the pata_of_platform's scsi_host is
initialized to pata_platform's one, because pata_of_platform driver
use a scsi_host_template defined in pata_platform.  So this drivers
can be unloaded even if the scsi device is being accessed.

This fixes it by propagating the scsi_host_template to pata_of_platform
driver.  The scsi_host_template is passed through a new
argument of __pata_platform_probe().

ata: ahci_platform: fix owner module reference mismatch for scsi host

2015-01-28T23:45:23+00:00

The owner module reference of the ahci platform's scsi_host is
initialized to libahci_platform's one, because these drivers use a
scsi_host_template defined in libahci_platform.  So these drivers can
be unloaded even if the scsi device is being accessed.

This fixes it by pushing the scsi_host_template from libahci_platform
to all leaf drivers.  The scsi_host_template is passed through a new
argument of ahci_platform_init_host().
