Jens Axboe pointed out that the iounmap() call in libata was occurring
too early, and some drivers (ahci, probably others) were using ioremap'd
memory after it had been unmapped.
The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata
driver API:
* move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred.
* create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap()
call there.
* add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark).
sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering
that existed prior to applying the attached patch.
When testing ATAPI PIO data transfer on the ppc64 platform, __atapi_pio_bytes() got zero when
sg_dma_len() is used. I checked the <asm-ppc64/scatterlish.h>, the struct scatterlist is defined as:
struct scatterlist {
struct page *page;
unsigned int offset;
unsigned int length;
/* For TCE support */
u32 dma_address;
u32 dma_length;
};
#define sg_dma_address(sg) ((sg)->dma_address)
#define sg_dma_len(sg) ((sg)->dma_length)
So, if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped, sg_dma_len() will return zero on ppc64.
The same problem should occur on the x86-64 platform.
On the i386 platform, sg_dma_len() returns sg->length, that's why the problem does not occur on an i386.
Changes:
- Use sg->length if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped (yet).

Updated patch to fix erroneous flush of COMRESET set and missing flush
of COMRESET clear. Created a new routine scr_write_flush() to try to
prevent this in the future. Also, this patch is based on libata-2.6
instead of the previous libata-dev-2.6 based patch.

===================================================================
Problem:
During the libata CD-ROM stress test, sometimes the "BUG: timeout
without command" error is seen.
Root cause:
Unexpected interrupt occurs after the ata_qc_complete() is called,
but before the SCSI error handler. The interrupt handler is invoked
before the SCSI error handler, and it clears the command by calling
ata_qc_complete() again. Later when the SCSI error handler is run,
the ata_queued_cmd is already gone, causing the "BUG: timeout without
command" error.
Changes:
- Use the ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE flag to prevent the interrupt handler
from completing the command twice, before the scsi_error_handler.

This patch works around an issue with WD drives (and possibly others)
over SiL PATA->SATA Bridges on SATA controllers locking up with
transfers > 200 sectors.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
