Crucial said,
Thank you for contacting us. We know that with our M225 line of SSDs
you sometimes need to disable NCQ (native command queuing) to avoid
just the type of errors you're seeing. Our recommendation for the
M225 is to add libata.force=noncq to your Linux kernel boot options,
under the kernel ATA library option.
I have sent your feedback to the engineers working on the C300, and
asked them to please pass it on to the firmware team. I have been
notified that they are in the process of testing and finalizing a
new firmware version, that you can expect to see released around the
end of April. We’ll keep you posted as to when it will be available
for download.
So, turn off NCQ on the drive w/ the current firmware revision.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Commit 27943620cb introduced spurious
IRQ handling but it has a race condition where valid completion can be
lost while trying to clear spurious IRQ leading to occassional command
timeouts.
This patch improves SFF interrupt handler such that
1. Once BMDMA HSM is stopped, the condition is never considered
spurious. As there's no way to resume stopped BMDMA HSM, if device
status doesn't agree with BMDMA status, the only way out is
aborting the command (otherwise, it will just end up timing out).
2. ap->ops->sff_check_status() can be safely called to clear spurious
device IRQ as it atomically returns completion status but BMDMA IRQ
status can't be cleared in safe way if command is in flight. After
a spurious IRQ, call ap->ops->sff_irq_clear() only if the
respective device is idle and retry completion if
sff_check_status() indicates command completion.
Please note that ata_piix uses bmdma_status for sff_irq_check() and #2
won't weaken spurious IRQ handling even with in-flight command because
if bmdma_status indicates IRQ pending but device status is not on
spurious check, the next IRQ handler invocation will abort the command
due to #1.
This fixes bko#15537.

When writing a disc on certain lite-on dvd-writers (also rebadged
as optiarc/LG/...) connected to a vt6420, the ATAPI CDB ends
up in the datastream and on the disc, causing silent corruption.
Delaying between sending the CDB and starting DMA seems to
prevent this.
I do not know if there are burners that do not suffer from
this, but the patch should be safe for those as well.
There are many reports of this issue, but AFAICT no solution was

Before only the timings for master were set. Datasheet can be found
here: ftp://ftp.vtbridge.org/Docs/Storage/DS_VT6421A_100_CCPL.PDF
Surprisingly, a slave drive works without this patch. According to the
datasheet, the controller by default derives the DMA mode from the
Set Features command issued to a drive. Not sure about the PIO
timings, though. The real problem is that the timings for the master
effectively are the ones tuned for the slave. If these support
different UDMA-settings, there is trouble, especially when the slave
supports a higher UDMA than the master.
Anyhow, using the same mechanism for both master and slave seems like
a good idea.

Traditional IDE interface sucks in that it doesn't have a reliable IRQ
pending bit, so if the controller raises IRQ while the driver is
expecting it not to, the IRQ won't be cleared and eventually the IRQ
line will be killed by interrupt subsystem. Some controllers have
non-standard mechanism to indicate IRQ pending so that this condition
can be detected and worked around.
This patch adds an optional operation ->sff_irq_check() which will be
called for each port from the ata_sff_interrupt() if an unexpected
interrupt is received. If the operation returns %true,
->sff_check_status() and ->sff_irq_clear() will be cleared for the
port. Note that this doesn't mark the interrupt as handled so it
won't prevent IRQ subsystem from killing the IRQ if this mechanism
fails to clear the spurious IRQ.
This patch also implements ->sff_irq_check() for ata_piix. Note that
this adds slight overhead to shared IRQ operation as IRQs which are
destined for other controllers will trigger extra register accesses to
check whether IDE interrupt is pending but this solves rare screaming
IRQ cases and for some curious reason also helps weird BIOS related
glitch on Samsung n130 as reported in bko#14314.
