Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo: "There's one interseting commit - "libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen". It's an ugly hack working around a deadlock condition between driver core resume and block layer device removal paths through freezer which was made more reproducible by writeback being converted to workqueue some releases ago. The bug has nothing to do with libata but it's just an workaround which is easy to backport. After discussion, Rafael and I seem to agree that we don't really need kernel freezables - both kthread and workqueue. There are few specific workqueues which constitute PM operations and require freezing, which will be converted to use workqueue_set_max_active() instead. All other kernel freezer uses are planned to be removed, followed by the removal of kthread and workqueue freezer support, hopefully. Others are device-specific fixes. The most notable is the addition of NO_NCQ_TRIM which is used to disable queued TRIM commands to Micro M500 SSDs which otherwise suffers data corruption" * 'for-3.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata: libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen libata: implement ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM and apply it to Micro M500 SSDs libata: disable a disk via libata.force params ahci: bail out on ICH6 before using AHCI BAR ahci: imx: Explicitly clear IMX6Q_GPR13_SATA_MPLL_CLK_EN libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_BROKEN_FPDMA_AA quirk for Seagate Momentus SpinPoint M8

libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen

2013-12-19T18:50:32Z

Freezable kthreads and workqueues are fundamentally problematic in that they effectively introduce a big kernel lock widely used in the kernel and have already been the culprit of several deadlock scenarios. This is the latest occurrence. During resume, libata rescans all the ports and revalidates all pre-existing devices. If it determines that a device has gone missing, the device is removed from the system which involves invalidating block device and flushing bdi while holding driver core layer locks. Unfortunately, this can race with the rest of device resume. Because freezable kthreads and workqueues are thawed after device resume is complete and block device removal depends on freezable workqueues and kthreads (e.g. bdi_wq, jbd2) to make progress, this can lead to deadlock - block device removal can't proceed because kthreads are frozen and kthreads can't be thawed because device resume is blocked behind block device removal. 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue") made this particular deadlock scenario more visible but the underlying problem has always been there - the original forker task and jbd2 are freezable too. In fact, this is highly likely just one of many possible deadlock scenarios given that freezer behaves as a big kernel lock and we don't have any debug mechanism around it. I believe the right thing to do is getting rid of freezable kthreads and workqueues. This is something fundamentally broken. For now, implement a funny workaround in libata - just avoid doing block device hot[un]plug while the system is frozen. Kernel engineering at its finest. :( v2: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pm_freezing) for cases where libata is built as a module. v3: Comment updated and polling interval changed to 10ms as suggested by Rafael. v4: Add #ifdef CONFIG_FREEZER around the hack as pm_freezing is not defined when FREEZER is not configured thus breaking build.

libata: implement ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM and apply it to Micro M500 SSDs

2013-12-17T12:03:14Z

Certain drives cannot handle queued TRIM commands properly, even though support is indicated in the IDENTIFY DEVICE buffer. This patch allows for disabling the commands for the affected drives and apply it to the Micron/Crucial M500 SSDs which exhibit incorrect protocol behavior when issued queued TRIM commands, which could lead to silent data corruption. tj: Merged two unnecessarily split patches and made minor edits including shortening horkage name.

libata: disable a disk via libata.force params

2013-12-16T17:41:57Z

A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the BIOS. The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this, but that was never ported to the libata layer. This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force. Example use: libata.force=2.0:disable [v2 of the patch, removed the nodisable flag per Tejun Heo] Signed-off-by: Robin H.

ahci: bail out on ICH6 before using AHCI BAR

2013-12-16T15:45:38Z

The check for "combined mode" (which disables ahci support) on ICH6 is done after the first use of AHCI BAR. But if ahci is not enabled AHCI BAR is initialized to 0x00000000. (At least it is on the ICH6-M I tested this on. If I understand the datasheet correctly it should also be on ICH6R.) This apparently makes the call of pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() return -EINVAL. And we end up with ahci: probe of 0000:00:1f.2 failed with error -22 (at warning level) in the logs. So check for "combined mode" before calling pcim_iomap_regions_request_all().
