 - A small string handling fix for the sata_mv driver (Christophe)

 - Clear port pending interrupts before reset, as per AHCI
   specifications (Szuying).

   Followup fixes for this one are to not clear ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING in
   ata_eh_reset() to allow EH to continue on with other actions recorded
   with error interrupts triggered before EH completes. And an
   additional fix to avoid thawing a port twice in EH (Niklas)

 - Small code style fixes in the pata_parport driver to silence the
   build bot as it keeps complaining about bad indentation (me)

   successful commands when not necessary for correct operation (Niklas)

<title>ata: libata-core: fetch sense data for successful commands iff CDL enabled</title>

<id>5e35a9ac3fe3a0d571b899a16ca84253e53dc70c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we fetch sense data for a _successful_ command if either:
1) Command was NCQ and ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED flag set (flag
   ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED will only be set if the Successful NCQ command
   sense data supported bit is set); or
2) Command was non-NCQ and regular sense data reporting is enabled.

This means that case 2) will trigger for a non-NCQ command which has
ATA_SENSE bit set, regardless if CDL is enabled or not.

This decision was by design. If the device reports that it has sense data
available, it makes sense to fetch that sense data, since the sk/asc/ascq
could be important information regardless if CDL is enabled or not.

However, the fetching of sense data for a successful command is done via
ATA EH. Considering how intricate the ATA EH is, we really do not want to
invoke ATA EH unless absolutely needed.

Before commit 18bd7718b5c4 ("scsi: ata: libata: Handle completion of CDL
commands using policy 0xD") we never fetched sense data for successful
commands.

In order to not invoke the ATA EH unless absolutely necessary, even if the
device claims support for sense data reporting, only fetch sense data for
successful (NCQ and non-NCQ commands) commands that are using CDL.

[Damien] Modified the check to test the qc flag ATA_QCFLAG_HAS_CDL
instead of the device support for CDL, which is implied for commands
using CDL.

<content type='text'>
commit 1e641060c4b5 ("libata: clear eh_info on reset completion") added
a workaround that broke the retry mechanism in ATA EH.

Tejun himself suggested to remove this workaround when it was identified
to cause additional problems:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ide/20110426135027.GI878@htj.dyndns.org/

He even said:
"Hmm... it seems I wasn't thinking straight when I added that work around."
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ide/20110426155229.GM878@htj.dyndns.org/

While removing the workaround solved the issue, however, the workaround was
kept to avoid "spurious hotplug events during reset", and instead another
workaround was added on top of the existing workaround in commit
8c56cacc724c ("libata: fix unexpectedly frozen port after ata_eh_reset()").

Because these IRQs happened when the port was frozen, we know that they
were actually a side effect of PxIS and IS.IPS(x) not being cleared before
the COMRESET. This is now done in commit 94152042eaa9 ("ata: libahci: clear
pending interrupt status"), so these workarounds can now be removed.

Since commit 1e641060c4b5 ("libata: clear eh_info on reset completion") has
now been reverted, the ATA EH retry mechanism is functional again, so there
is once again no need to thaw the port more than once in ata_eh_reset().

This reverts "the workaround on top of the workaround" introduced in commit
8c56cacc724c ("libata: fix unexpectedly frozen port after ata_eh_reset()").

ata_scsi_port_error_handler() starts off by clearing ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING,
before calling ap-&gt;ops-&gt;error_handler() (without holding the ap-&gt;lock).

If an error IRQ is received while ap-&gt;ops-&gt;error_handler() is running,
the irq handler will set ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING.

Once ap-&gt;ops-&gt;error_handler() returns, ata_scsi_port_error_handler()
checks if ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING is set, and if it is, another iteration
of ATA EH is performed.

The problem is that ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING is not only cleared by
ata_scsi_port_error_handler(), it is also cleared by ata_eh_reset().

ata_eh_reset() is called by ap-&gt;ops-&gt;error_handler(). This additional
clearing done by ata_eh_reset() breaks the whole retry logic in
ata_scsi_port_error_handler(). Thus, if an error IRQ is received while
ap-&gt;ops-&gt;error_handler() is running, the port will currently remain
frozen and will never get re-enabled.

The additional clearing in ata_eh_reset() was introduced in commit
1e641060c4b5 ("libata: clear eh_info on reset completion").

Looking at the original error report:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&amp;m=124765325828495&amp;w=2

We can see the following happening:
[    1.074659] ata3: XXX port freeze
[    1.074700] ata3: XXX hardresetting link, stopping engine
[    1.074746] ata3: XXX flipping SControl

[    1.411471] ata3: XXX irq_stat=400040 CONN|PHY
[    1.411475] ata3: XXX port freeze

[    1.420049] ata3: XXX starting engine
[    1.420096] ata3: XXX rc=0, class=1
[    1.420142] ata3: XXX clearing IRQs for thawing
[    1.420188] ata3: XXX port thawed
[    1.420234] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)

We are not supposed to be able to receive an error IRQ while the port is
frozen (PxIE is set to 0, i.e. all IRQs for the port are disabled).

AHCI 1.3.1 section 10.7.1.1 First Tier (IS Register) states:
"Each bit location can be thought of as reporting a '1' if the virtual
"interrupt line" for that port is indicating it wishes to generate an
interrupt. That is, if a port has one or more interrupt status bit set,
and the enables for those status bits are set, then this bit shall be set."

Additionally, AHCI state P:ComInit clearly shows that the state machine
will only jump to P:ComInitSetIS (which sets IS.IPS(x) to '1'), if PxIE.PCE
is set to '1'. In our case, PxIE is set to 0, so IS.IPS(x) won't get set.

So IS.IPS(x) only gets set if PxIS and PxIE is set.

AHCI 1.3.1 section 10.7.1.1 First Tier (IS Register) also states:
"The bits in this register are read/write clear. It is set by the level of
the virtual interrupt line being a set, and cleared by a write of '1' from
the software."

So if IS.IPS(x) is set, you need to explicitly clear it by writing a 1 to
IS.IPS(x) for that port.

Since PxIE is cleared, the only way to get an interrupt while the port is
frozen, is if IS.IPS(x) is set, and the only way IS.IPS(x) can be set when
the port is frozen, is if it was set before the port was frozen.

However, since commit 737dd811a3db ("ata: libahci: clear pending interrupt
status"), we clear both PxIS and IS.IPS(x) after freezing the port, but
before the COMRESET, so the problem that commit 1e641060c4b5 ("libata:
clear eh_info on reset completion") fixed can no longer happen.

Thus, revert commit 1e641060c4b5 ("libata: clear eh_info on reset
completion"), so that the retry logic in ata_scsi_port_error_handler()
works once again. (The retry logic is still needed, since we can still
get an error IRQ _after_ the port has been thawed, but before
ata_scsi_port_error_handler() takes the ap-&gt;lock in order to check
if ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING is set.)

Pull thermal control fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix a thermal core breakage introduced by one of the recent
  changes, amend those changes by adding 'const' to a new callback
  argument and fix two memory leaks.

  Specifics:

   - Unbreak disabled trip point check in handle_thermal_trip() that may
     cause it to skip enabled trip points (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Add missing of_node_put() to of_find_trip_id() and
     thermal_of_for_each_cooling_maps() that each break out of a
     for_each_child_of_node() loop without dropping the reference to the
     child object (Julia Lawall)

   - Constify the recently added trip argument of the .get_trend()
     thermal zone callback (Rafael Wysocki)"
