libata previously depended upon waits in prereset to get resets after
hotplug right for both spin up and device ready wait. This was
necessary both for reliablity and speed as reset was likely to fail if
initiated too early and each try usually took more than 30secs to
fail. Previous patches fixed the reliability part by fixing status
and SCR handling in resets. This patch remedies the speed part by
improving reset sequencing.
Prereset waiting timeout is adjusted to 10s because spinup wait is
replaced by reset sequencing and !BSY wait is not as important as
before. During boot or module loading where the drive is already
fully spun up, !BSY wait succeeds immediately, so 10s should be enough
in most cases. It matters after hotplugging or other error
conditions, but in those cases, !BSY wait in prereset simply can't be
relied upon due to the varied and weird behaviors ATA controllers and
devices show.
Reset is now driven by ata_eh_reset_timeouts[] table which contains
timeouts for each reset try. The first reset can be softreset but the
following ones are always hardreset if available. Each timeout
defines deadline for the reset try. If a reset try fails, reset is
retried with the next timeout till the end of the timeout table is
reached. If a reset try fails before the timeout with error, libata
waits till the deadline of the failed try before retrying.
IOW, the timeout table defines timetable of reset tries such that the
n'th try always begins at least after the sum of all previous timeouts
has passed. The current timetable defines 4 tries and takes around 1
minute.
@0 : First try. This should succeed most of the time during boot.
@10 : 10s is enough to spin up most consumer harddrives. Give it
another shot.
@20 : 20s should spin up > 99% of working drives. This has 30s
timeout for retarded devices needing long idleness post reset.
@55 : Final try with 5s timeout just in case.
The above timetable is trade off between not annoying the device too
much with frequent resets and taking reasonable amount of time in most
cases. Some controllers may do better with shorter timeouts while
others may fare better with longer but we just can't rely upon LLD
writers to test each controller with wide variety of devices using
various scenarios. We need default behavior which reasonably fits
most cases.
I've tested the above timetable on a dozen SATA controllers and a few
PATA controllers with about a dozen different drives from all major
vendors and 4 different ODDs from three different vendors for both
boot and hotplug (if available) cases.
Boot probing is not affected unless the device is broken in which
cases new code gives up on the port after a minute rather than five or
nine minutes. When hotplugging, most devices get detected on the
first or second try. Multi-platter drives with long spin up time
which sometimes took > 40 secs with the original code, now usually
comes up during the second try and at least right after the third try
@20.

This patch updates ata_std_prereset() as follows.
* Don't fail on phy resume failure. Just whine and continue. Failure
from prereset makes libata abort whole reset sequence and give up
the port, so prereset() should be best effort. This is more
important with the coming EH updates as prereset() will be called
with shorter timeout.
* If ata_wait_ready() fails, whine and request hardreset instead.

For PATA, 0xff status indicates empty port. For SATA, it depends on
how the controller emulates status register. On some controllers,
0xff is used to represent broken link or certain stage during reset.
libata currently deals SATA the same. This hasn't caused any problem
because problematic situations usually only occur after hotplug or
other link disruption events and libata blindly waited for the device
to spin up and settle after hotplug giving the link and device
whatever time to go through those stages.
libata is going to replace unconditional spinup wait with generic
timed sequence of resets, so not only getting 0xff handling right for
SATA is, well, the right thing to do, it's much more important now.
This patch makes the following changes.
* Make ata_bus_softreset() return -ENODEV if any of its wait fails
due to 0xff status.
* Fail soft/hardreset if status wait returns -ENODEV indicating 0xff
status while SStatus says the link is online. e.g. Reset fails if
status is 0xff after reset when SStatus reports the linke is online.
If SCR registers are not available, everything is the same as
before.

Add @deadline to prereset and reset methods and make them honor it.
ata_wait_ready() which directly takes @deadline is implemented to be
used as the wait function. This patch is in preparation for EH timing
improvements.
* ata_wait_ready() never does busy sleep. It's only used from EH and
no wait in EH is that urgent. This function also prints 'be
patient' message automatically after 5 secs of waiting if more than
3 secs is remaining till deadline.
* ata_bus_post_reset() now fails with error code if any of its wait
fails. This is important because earlier reset tries will have
shorter timeout than the spec requires. If a device fails to
respond before the short timeout, reset should be retried with
longer timeout rather than silently ignoring the device.
There are three behavior differences.
1. Timeout is applied to both devices at once, not separately. This
is more consistent with what the spec says.
2. When a device passes devchk but fails to become ready before
deadline. Previouly, post_reset would just succeed and let
device classification remove the device. New code fails the
reset thus causing reset retry. After a few times, EH will give
up disabling the port.
3. When slave device passes devchk but fails to become accessible
(TF-wise) after reset. Original code disables dev1 after 30s
timeout and continues as if the device doesn't exist, while the
patched code fails reset. When this happens, new code fails
reset on whole port rather than proceeding with only the primary
device.
If the failing device is suffering transient problems, new code
retries reset which is a better behavior. If the failing device is
actually broken, the net effect is identical to it, but not to the
other device sharing the channel. In the previous code, reset would
have succeeded after 30s thus detecting the working one. In the new
code, reset fails and whole port gets disabled. IMO, it's a
pathological case anyway (broken device sharing bus with working
one) and doesn't really matter.
* ata_bus_softreset() is changed to return error code from
ata_bus_post_reset(). It used to return 0 unconditionally.
* Spin up waiting is to be removed and not converted to honor
deadline.
* To be on the safe side, deadline is set to 40s for the time being.

The Marvell IDE interface on my machine would hit a BUG_ON() in
lib/iomem.c because it was calling ata_pci_init_one() specifying just a
single port on the host, but that would actually end up trying to
initialize two ports, the second one with bogus information.
This fixes "ata_pci_init_one()" so that it actually passes down the
n_ports variable that it got from the low-level driver to the host
allocation routine ("ata_host_alloc_pinfo()"), which results in the ATA
layer actually having the correct port number information.
And in order to make it all work, I also needed to fix a few places that
had incorrectly hard-coded the fact that a host always had exactly two
ports (both ata_pci_init_bmdma() and ata_request_legacy_irqs() would
just always iterate over both ports).

(S)ATA drives can be configured for "power-up in standby",
a mode whereby a specific "spin up now!" command is required
before the first media access.
Currently, a drive with this feature enabled can not be used at all
with libata, and once in this mode, the drive becomes a doorstop.
The older drivers/ide subsystem at least enumerates the drive,
so that it can be woken up after the fact from a userspace HDIO_*
command, but not libata.
This patch adds support to libata for the "power-up in standby"
mode where a "spin up now!" command (SET_FEATURES) is needed.
With this, libata will recognize such drives, spin them up,
and then re-IDENTIFY them if necessary to get a full/complete
set of drive features data.
Drives in this state are determined by looking for
special values in id[2], as documented in the current ATA specs.

->post_internal_cmd is simplified EH for internal commands. Its
primary mission is to stop the controller such that no rogue memory
access or other activities occur after the internal command is
released. It may provide error diagnostics by setting qc->err_mask
but this hasn't been a requirement.
To ignore SETXFER failure for CFA devices, libata needs to know
whether a command was failed by the device or for any other reason.
ie. internal command needs to get AC_ERR_DEV right.
This patch makes the following changes to AC_ERR_DEV handling and
->post_internal_cmd semantics to accomodate this need and simplify
callback implementation.
1. As long as the correct bits in the result TF registers are set,
there is no need to set AC_ERR_DEV explicitly. libata EH core
takes care of that for both normal and internal commands.
2. The only requirement for ->post_internal_cmd() is to put the
controller into quiescent state. It needs not to set any err_mask.
3. ata_exec_internal_sg() performs minimal error analysis such that
AC_ERR_DEV is automatically set as long as result_tf is filled
correctly.

There are several registers which describe how the controller is
configured. These registers are sometimes implemented as r/w
registers which are configured by firmware and get cleared on
controller reset or after suspend/resume cycle. ahci saved and
restored those values inside ahci_reset_controller() which is a bit
messy and doesn't work over suspend/resume cycle.
This patch implements ahci_save/restore_initial_config(). The save
function is called during driver initialization and saves cap and
port_map to hpriv. The restore function is called after the
controller is reset to restore the initial values.
Sometimes the initial firmware values are inconsistent and need to be
fixed up. This is handled by ahci_save_initial_config(). For this,
there are two versions of saved registers. One to write back to the
hardware register, the other to use during driver operation. This is
necessary to keep ahci's behavior unchanged (write back fixed up
port_map while keeping cap as-is).
This patch makes ahci save the register values once before the first
controller reset, not after it's been reset. Also, the same stored
values are used written back after each reset, so the register values
are properly recovered after suspend/resume cycle.
