This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.
43a49cbdf3e013e13bf62fca5ccf97
Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.
The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.
So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.

Explanation taken from the comment of ata_slave_link_init().
In libata, a port contains links and a link contains devices. There
is single host link but if a PMP is attached to it, there can be
multiple fan-out links. On SATA, there's usually a single device
connected to a link but PATA and SATA controllers emulating TF based
interface can have two - master and slave.
However, there are a few controllers which don't fit into this
abstraction too well - SATA controllers which emulate TF interface
with both master and slave devices but also have separate SCR
register sets for each device. These controllers need separate links
for physical link handling (e.g. onlineness, link speed) but should
be treated like a traditional M/S controller for everything else
(e.g. command issue, softreset).
slave_link is libata's way of handling this class of controllers
without impacting core layer too much. For anything other than
physical link handling, the default host link is used for both master
and slave. For physical link handling, separate @ap->slave_link is
used. All dirty details are implemented inside libata core layer.
From LLD's POV, the only difference is that prereset, hardreset and
postreset are called once more for the slave link, so the reset
sequence looks like the following.
prereset(M) -> prereset(S) -> hardreset(M) -> hardreset(S) ->
softreset(M) -> postreset(M) -> postreset(S)
Note that softreset is called only for the master. Softreset resets
both M/S by definition, so SRST on master should handle both (the
standard method will work just fine).
As slave_link excludes PMP support and only code paths which deal with
the attributes of physical link are affected, all the changes are
localized to libata.h, libata-core.c and libata-eh.c.
* ata_is_host_link() updated so that slave_link is considered as host
link too.
* iterator extended to iterate over the slave_link when using the
underbarred version.
* force param handling updated such that devno 16 is mapped to the
slave link/device.
* ata_link_on/offline() updated to return the combined result from
master and slave link. ata_phys_link_on/offline() are the direct
versions.
* EH autopsy and report are performed separately for master slave
links. Reset is udpated to implement the above described reset
sequence.
Except for reset update, most changes are minor, many of them just
modifying dev->link to ata_dev_phys_link(dev) or using phys online
test instead.
After this update, LLDs can take full advantage of per-dev SCR
registers by simply turning on slave link.

ATA_TMOUT_INTERNAL which was 30secs were used for all internal
commands which is way too long when something goes wrong. This patch
implements command type based stepped timeouts. Different command
types can use different timeouts and each command type can use
different timeout values after timeouts.
ie. the initial timeout is set to a value which should cover most of
the cases but not too long so that run away cases don't delay things
too much. After the first try times out, the second try can use
longer timeout and if that one times out too, it can go for full 30sec
timeout.
IDENTIFYs use 5s - 10s - 30s timeout and all other commands use 5s -
10s timeouts.
This patch significantly cuts down the needed time to handle failure
cases while still allowing libata to work with nut job devices through
retries.

Historically word 48 in the identify data was used to mean 32bit I/O
was supported for VLB IDE etc. ATA8 reassigns this word to the Trusted
Computing Group, where it is used for TCG features. This means that
an ATA8 TCG drive is going to trigger 32bit I/O on some systems which
will be funny.
Anyway we need to sort this out ready for ATA8 so:
- Reorder the ata.h header a bit so the ata_version function occurs early
in it
- Make dword_io check the ATA version
- Add an ATA8 version checking TCG presence test
While we are at it the current drafts have a flaw where it may not be
possible to disable TCG features at boot (and opt out of the trusted
model) as TCG intends because it relies on presence of a different
optional feature (DCS). Handle this in software by refusing the TCG
commands if libata.allow_tpm is not set. (We must make it possible
as some environments such as proprietary VDR devices will doubtless
want to use it to lock up content)

not be able to full access and use the device.

->pmp_read/write() can be called while the port is frozen, so they

Also, irq_handler and error_handler must be PMP aware. Most of PMP

In most cases, when EH is scheduled, all in-flight commands are
aborted causing EH to kick in immediately. However, in some cases
(especially with PMP), it's unclear which commands are affected by the
error condition and although aborting all in-flight commands work, it
isn't optimal and may cause unnecessary disruption. On the other
hand, waiting for in-flight commands to drain themselves can take up
to 30seconds.
This patch implements EH fast drain to handle such situations. It
gives in-flight commands some time to finish up but doesn't wait for
too long. After EH is scheduled, fast drain timer is started and if
no other completion occurs in ATA_EH_FASTDRAIN_INTERVAL all in-flight
commands are aborted. If any completion occurred in the interval, the
port is given another interval to finish up itself.
Currently ATA_EH_FASTDRAIN_INTERVAL is 3 secs which should be enough
for finishing up most commands.

scan if some devices aren't attached properly. It contains robust

This patch reimplements ACPI invocation such that, instead of
exporting ACPI details to the rest of libata, ACPI event handlers -
ata_acpi_on_resume() and ata_acpi_on_devcfg() - are used. These two
functions are responsible for determining whether specific ACPI method
is used and when.
On resume, _GTF is scheduled by setting ATA_DFLAG_ACPI_PENDING device
flag. This is done this way to avoid performing the action on wrong
device device (device swapping while suspended).
On every ata_dev_configure(), ata_acpi_on_devcfg() is called, which
performs _SDD and _GTF. _GTF is performed only after resuming and, if
SATA, hardreset as the ACPI spec specifies. As _GTF may contain
arbitrary commands, IDENTIFY page is re-read after _GTF taskfiles are
executed.
If one of ACPI methods fails, ata_acpi_on_devcfg() retries on the
first failure. If it fails again on the second try, ACPI is disabled
on the device. Note that successful configuration clears ACPI failed
status.
With all feature checks moved to the above two functions,
do_drive_set_taskfiles() is trivial and thus collapsed into
ata_acpi_exec_tfs(), which is now static and converted to return the
number of executed taskfiles to be used by ata_acpi_on_resume(). As
failures are handled properly, ata_acpi_push_id() now returns -errno
on errors instead of unconditional zero.

Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
this double spinning down causes problem.
This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that
libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).
shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on
SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks
currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
dangerous data integrity-wise.
So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.
* Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
exists. If it does, write 0 to it.
* For each libata harddisk {
* Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
down as before.
}
The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
it.
To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
