<content type='text'>
Currently, it is possible that LPM is enabled while calling the set_lpm()
callback.

The current code performs a SET FEATURES command to disable DIPM if
policy &lt; ATA_LPM_MED_POWER_WITH_DIPM, this means that it will currently
disable DIPM for policies:
ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN, ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, ATA_LPM_MED_POWER
(but not for policy ATA_LPM_MED_POWER_WITH_DIPM).

The code called after calling the set_lpm() callback will later perform
a SET FEATURES command to enable DIPM, if
policy &gt;= ATA_LPM_MED_POWER_WITH_DIPM.

As we can see DIPM will not be disabled before calling set_lpm() if the LPM
policy is: ATA_LPM_MED_POWER_WITH_DIPM, ATA_LPM_MIN_POWER_WITH_PARTIAL,
or ATA_LPM_MIN_POWER.

Make sure that we always disable DIPM before calling the set_lpm()
callback. This is because the set_lpm() callback is the function (for AHCI)
that sets the proper bits in PxSCTL.IPM, reflecting the support of the HBA.
PxSCTL.IPM controls the LPM states that the device is allowed to enter.

If the device tries to enter a state disabled by PxSCTL.IPM, the host will
NAK the transition.

If we do not disable DIPM before modifying PxSCTL.IPM, it is possible that
DIPM will try (and will be allowed to) enter a LPM state that the HBA does
not support (since we have not yet written PxSCTL.IPM, the HBA wasn't able
to NAK the transition).

While at it, remove the guard of host support for DIPM around the disabling
of DIPM. While it makes sense to take host support for DIPM into account
when enabling DIPM, it makes zero sense to take host support into account
when disabling DIPM.

If the host does not support DIPM, that is an even bigger reason why DIPM
should be disabled on the device side.

link-&gt;lpm_policy is initialized to ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN in ata_eh_reset().

ata_eh_set_lpm() is then only called if
link-&gt;lpm_policy != ap-&gt;target_lpm_policy (after reset)

and then only if link-&gt;lpm_policy &gt; ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER (before
revalidation).

This means that ata_eh_set_lpm() is currently never called with
policy == ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN.

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE so that it is more obvious from reading the code that
this function is never called with policy == ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN.

The comments describing which LPM policies that has DIPM enabled predates
the introduction of the LPM policies ATA_LPM_MIN_POWER_WITH_PARTIAL and
ATA_LPM_MED_POWER_WITH_DIPM. Update the DIPM comments to reflect reality.

Also remove the sentence that claims that "Order device and link
configurations such that the host always allows DIPM requests."

This comment is written before 24e0e61db3cb ("ata: libata: disallow
dev-initiated LPM transitions to unsupported states").

Even though the set_lpm() call is done before enabling DIPM, the host will
not always allow DIPM requests. For all LPM polcies where DIPM is enabled,
only DIPM requests to LPM states that are supported by the HBA will be
allowed.

For ATA PASS-THROUGH + fixed format sense data + NCQ autosense
the INFORMATION sense data field is being written twice:

- 1st write: (redundant)
scsi_set_sense_information() sets the INFORMATION field to ATA LBA.
This is incorrect for ATA PASS-THROUGH.

- 2nd write: (correct)
ata_scsi_set_passthru_sense_fields() sets the INFORMATION field
to ATA ERROR/STATUS/DEVICE/COUNT(7:0) as per SAT spec.

There is no user-visible issue because second write overwrites
the incorrect data from the first write.

This patch eliminates the reduntant write by moving the INFORMATION
sense data field population logic to ata_scsi_qc_complete().

<title>ata: libata-scsi: Improve CDL control</title>
<updated>2025-04-22T07:06:05+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Damien Le Moal</name>
<email>dlemoal@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2025-04-14T01:25:05+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=17e897a456752ec9c2d7afb3d9baf268b442451b'/>
<id>17e897a456752ec9c2d7afb3d9baf268b442451b</id>
<content type='text'>
With ATA devices supporting the CDL feature, using CDL requires that the
feature be enabled with a SET FEATURES command. This command is issued
as the translated command for the MODE SELECT command issued by
scsi_cdl_enable() when the user enables CDL through the device
cdl_enable sysfs attribute.

Currently, ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() always translates a MODE
SELECT command for the ATA features subpage of the control mode page to
a SET FEATURES command to enable or disable CDL based on the cdl_ctrl
field. However, there is no need to issue the SET FEATURES command if:
1) The MODE SELECT command requests disabling CDL and CDL is already
   disabled.
2) The MODE SELECT command requests enabling CDL and CDL is already
   enabled.

Fix ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() to issue the SET FEATURES command
only when necessary. Since enabling CDL also implies a reset of the CDL
statistics log page, avoiding useless CDL enable operations also avoids
clearing the CDL statistics log.

Also add debug messages to clearly signal when CDL is being enabled or
disabled using a SET FEATURES command.

With ATA devices supporting the CDL feature, using CDL requires that the
feature be enabled with a SET FEATURES command. This command is issued
as the translated command for the MODE SELECT command issued by
scsi_cdl_enable() when the user enables CDL through the device
cdl_enable sysfs attribute.

Currently, ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() always translates a MODE
SELECT command for the ATA features subpage of the control mode page to
a SET FEATURES command to enable or disable CDL based on the cdl_ctrl
field. However, there is no need to issue the SET FEATURES command if:
1) The MODE SELECT command requests disabling CDL and CDL is already
   disabled.
2) The MODE SELECT command requests enabling CDL and CDL is already
   enabled.

Fix ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() to issue the SET FEATURES command
only when necessary. Since enabling CDL also implies a reset of the CDL
statistics log page, avoiding useless CDL enable operations also avoids
clearing the CDL statistics log.

Also add debug messages to clearly signal when CDL is being enabled or
disabled using a SET FEATURES command.
