ahci: change 'masking port_map' printk to KERN_WARNING level

2011-06-29T17:10:07Z

It's not so much an error as a warning about normal Marvell crazines. So don't use KERN_ERR that ends up spamming the console even in quiet mode, it's not _that_ critical. Explained by Jeff: "Long explanation, it's a mess: Marvell took standard AHCI, and bastardized it to include a weird mode whereby PATA devices appear inside the AHCI DMA and interrupt infrastructure you're familiar with. So, PATA devices appear via pata_marvell driver, using basic legacy IDE programming interface. But SATA devices, which might also be attached to this chip, either work in under-performing mode or simply don't work at all (e.g. newer 6 Gbps devices or port multiplier attachments, NCQ, ...) On the other hand, 'ahci' driver loads and works with the chip's attached SATA devices quite beautifully, but is completely unable to drive any attached PATA devices, due to the Marvell-specific PATA-under-AHCI interface. The "masking port_map 0x7 -> 0x3" message is the ahci driver "hiding" the PATA port(s) from itself, making sure it will only drive the SATA ports it knows how to drive."

Commit 7b3a24c57d2eeda8dba9c205342b12689c4679f9 ("ahci: don't enable port irq before handler is registered") caused a regression for CD-ROMs attached to the IPR SATA bus on Power machines: ata_port_alloc: ENTER ata_port_probe: ata1: bus probe begin ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40) ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40) ata1.00: limiting speed to UDMA7:PIO5 ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40) ata1.00: disabled ata_port_probe: ata1: bus probe end scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured The FROZEN flag added in that commit is only cleared by the new EH code, which is not used by ipr.

libata: apply NOSETXFER horkage to the affected Pioneer drives

2011-06-23T20:40:50Z

regardless of firmware revision It's unlikely NOSETXFER works for a revision of drive but doesn't for another and pioneer doesn't seem to be fixing firmwares for the affected drives. Apply NOSETXFER to the affected pioneer drives regardless of firmware revision. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/49734 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reported-by: fl-00@gmx.de Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

libata: fix unexpectedly frozen port after ata_eh_reset()

2011-06-07T19:55:55Z

To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING after reset but before RESET is marked done. As reset is the final recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to lost devices or missed hotplug events. Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port unresponsive to further hotplug events. Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING. This problem is reported by Bruce Stenning in the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1123265 stable: I think we should weather this patch a bit longer in -rcX before sending it to -stable. Please wait at least a month after this patch makes upstream. Thanks. -v2: Fixed spelling in the comment per Dave Howorth.

Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into for-2.6.40/core

2011-05-20T18:33:15Z

Since for-2.6.40/core was forked off the 2.6.39 devel tree, we've had churn in the core area that makes it difficult to handle patches for eg cfq or blk-throttle. Instead of requiring that they be based in older versions with bugs that have been fixed later in the rc cycle, merge in 2.6.39 final. Also fixes up conflicts in the below files.
