There are ATAPI devices which raise AN when hit by commands issued by
open(). This leads to infinite loop of AN -> MEDIA_CHANGE uevent ->
udev open() to check media -> AN.
Both ACS and SerialATA standards don't define in which case ATAPI
devices are supposed to raise or not raise AN. They both list media
insertion event as a possible use case for ATAPI ANs but there is no
clear description of what constitutes such events. As such, it seems
a bit too naive to export ANs directly to userland as MEDIA_CHANGE
events without further verification (which should behave similarly to
windows as it apparently is the only thing that some hardware vendors
are testing against).
This patch adds libata.atapi_an module parameter and disables ATAPI AN
by default for now.

Make BMDMA optional depending on new config variable CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA.
In Kconfig, drivers are grouped into five groups - non-SFF native, SFF
w/ custom DMA interface, SFF w/ BMDMA, PIO-only SFF, and generic
fallback / legacy ones. Kconfig and Makefile are reorganized
according to the groups and ordered alphabetically inside each group.
ata_ioports.bmdma_addr and ata_port.bmdma_prd[_dma] are put into
CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA, as are all bmdma related ops, variables and
functions.
This increase the binary size slightly when BMDMA is enabled but on
both native-only and PIO-only configurations the size is slightly
reduced. Either way, the size difference is insignificant. This
change is more meaningful to signify the separation between SFF and
BMDMA and as a tool to verify the separation.

Separate out BMDMA irq handler from SFF irq handler. The misnamed
host_intr() functions are renamed to ata_sff_port_intr() and
ata_bmdma_port_intr(). Common parts are factored into
__ata_sff_port_intr() and __ata_sff_interrupt() and used by sff and
bmdma interrupt routines.
All BMDMA drivers now use ata_bmdma_interrupt() or
ata_bmdma_port_intr() while all non-BMDMA SFF ones use
ata_sff_interrupt() or ata_sff_port_intr().
For now, ata_pci_sff_init_one() uses ata_bmdma_interrupt() as it's
used by both SFF and BMDMA drivers.

.name, .match_table and .owner are duplicated in both of_platform_driver
and device_driver. This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct
of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members.
This patch is a pretty mechanical change. The usage model doesn't change
and if any drivers have been missed, or if anything has been fixed up
incorrectly, then it will fail with a compile time error, and the fixup
will be trivial. This patch looks big and scary because it touches so
many files, but it should be pretty safe.

Some of error handling logic in ata_sff_error_handler() and all of
ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() are for BMDMA. Create
ata_bmdma_error_handler() and ata_bmdma_post_internal_cmd() and move
BMDMA part into those.
While at it, change DMA protocol check to ata_is_dma(), fix
post_internal_cmd to call ap->ops->bmdma_stop instead of directly
calling ata_bmdma_stop() and open code hardreset selection so that
ata_std_error_handler() doesn't have to know about sff hardreset.
As these two functions are BMDMA specific, there's no reason to check
for bmdma_addr before calling bmdma methods if the protocol of the
failed command is DMA. sata_mv and pata_mpc52xx now don't need to set
.post_internal_cmd to ATA_OP_NULL and pata_icside and sata_qstor don't
need to set it to their bmdma_stop routines.
ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() becomes noop and is removed.
This fixes p3 described in clean-up-BMDMA-initialization patch.

port_task is tightly bound to the standard SFF PIO HSM implementation.
Using it for any other purpose would be error-prone and there's no
such user and if some drivers need such feature, it would be much
better off using its own. Move it inside CONFIG_ATA_SFF and rename it
to sff_pio_task.
The only function which is exposed to the core layer is
ata_sff_flush_pio_task() which is renamed from ata_port_flush_task()
and now also takes care of resetting hsm_task_state to HSM_ST_IDLE,
which is possible as it's now specific to PIO HSM.

When BMDMA initialization failed or BMDMA was not available for
whatever reason, bmdma_addr was left at zero and used as an indication
that BMDMA shouldn't be used. This leads to the following problems.
p1. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register,
ata_bmdma_mode_filter() incorrectly inhibits DMA modes. Those
drivers either have to inherit from ata_sff_port_ops or clear
->mode_filter explicitly.
p2. non-BMDMA drivers call into BMDMA PRD table allocation. It
doesn't actually allocate PRD table if bmdma_addr is not
initialized but is still confusing.
p3. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register, some
methods might not be invoked as expected (e.g. bmdma_stop from
ata_sff_post_internal_cmd()).
p4. SFF drivers w/ custom DMA interface implement noop BMDMA ops
worrying libata core might call into one of them.
These problems are caused by the muddy line between SFF and BMDMA and
the assumption that all BMDMA controllers initialize bmdma_addr.
This patch fixes p1 and p2 by removing the bmdma_addr assumption and
moving prd allocation to BMDMA port start. Later patches will fix the
remaining issues.
This patch improves BMDMA initialization such that
* When BMDMA register initialization fails, falls back to PIO instead
of failing. ata_pci_bmdma_init() never fails now.
* When ata_pci_bmdma_init() falls back to PIO, it clears
ap->mwdma_mask and udma_mask instead of depending on
ata_bmdma_mode_filter(). This makes ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
unnecessary thus resolving p1.
* ata_port_start() which actually is BMDMA specific is moved to
ata_bmdma_port_start(). ata_port_start() and ata_sff_port_start()
are killed.
* ata_sff_port_start32() is moved and renamed to
ata_bmdma_port_start32().
Drivers which no longer call into PRD table allocation are...
pdc_adma, sata_inic162x, sata_qstor, sata_sx4, pata_cmd640 and all
drivers which inherit from ata_sff_port_ops.
pata_icside sets ->port_start to ATA_OP_NULL as it doesn't need PRD
but is a BMDMA controller and doesn't have custom port_start like
other such controllers.
Note that with the previous patch which makes all and only BMDMA
drivers inherit from ata_bmdma_port_ops, this change doesn't break
drivers which need PRD table.

1. pata_cmd640 is PIO only. Inherit from sff.
2. pata_macio is BMDMA. Inherit from bmdma and drop explicit
bmdma_mode_filter() setting.
3. In sata_mv, unlike mv5, mv6 is BMDMA. Inherit from bmdma and
don't clear ->post_internal_cmd().
4. bf54x and icside are quasi-BMDMA controllers which don't use the
standard BMDMA registers so they don't initialize bmdma_addr and
inherit from sff to avoid the default mode_filter which disables
DMA modes if bmdma_addr is not initialized.
For 2 and 3, this patch makes the drivers explicitly specify
->mode_filter to ATA_OP_NULL while inheriting from ata_bmdma_port_ops.
These will be removed by the next patch.

ATA_FLAG_DISABLED is only used by drivers which don't use
->error_handler framework and is largely broken. Its only meaningful
function is to make irq handlers skip processing if the flag is set,
which is largely useless and even harmful as it makes those ports more
likely to cause IRQ storms.
Kill ATA_FLAG_DISABLED and makes the callers disable attached devices
instead. ata_port_probe() and ata_port_disable() which manipulate the
flag are also killed.
This simplifies condition check in IRQ handlers. While updating IRQ
handlers, remove ap NULL check as libata guarantees consecutive port
allocation (unoccupied ports are initialized with dummies) and
long-obsolete ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE check (checked by ata_qc_from_tag()).

* Clearing IRQ from ata_sff_error_handler() is necessary only when the
port is gonna be thawed before performing EH actions and some
controllers don't like being accessed after certain failure modes
until they're reset. Clear IRQ iff the port is being thawed.
* When the controller succesfully indicated bus error, the point of
thawing doesn't matter. Move thawing inside bmdma part of EH. This
is a bit ugly but will ease code reorganization later.

Now, with the introduction of the sff_set_devctl() method, we can
use it in sff_irq_on() method too -- that way its implementations
in 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' become virtually identical to
ata_sff_irq_on(). The sff_irq_on() method now becomes quite
superfluous, and the only reason not to remove it completely is
the existence of the 'pata_octeon_cf' driver which implements it
as an empty function. Just make the method optional then, with
ata_sff_irq_on() becoming generic taskfile-bound function, still
global for the 'pata_bf54x' driver to be able to call it from its
thaw() and postreset() methods.
While at it, make the sff_irq_on() method and ata_sff_irq_on() return
'void' as the result is always ignored anyway.

The set of libata's taskfile access methods is clearly incomplete as
it lacks a method to write to the device control register -- which
forces drivers like 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' to implement more
"high level" (and more weighty) methods like freeze() and postreset().
So, introduce the optional sff_set_devctl() method which the drivers
only have to implement if the standard iowrite8() can't be used (just
like the existing sff_check_altstatus() method) and make use of it
in the freeze() and postreset() method implementations (I could also
have used it in softreset() method but it also reads other taskfile
registers without using tf_read() making that quite pointless);
this makes freeze() method implementations in the 'pata_bf54x' and
'pata_scc' methods virtually identical to ata_sff_freeze(), so we
can get rid of them completely.

There are some SATA devices which take relatively long to get out of
0xff status after reset. In libata, this timeout is determined by
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT. Quantum GoVault is the worst requring about 2s for
reliable detection. However, because 2s 0xff timeout can introduce
rather long spurious delay during boot, libata has been compromising
at the next longest timeout of 800ms for HHD424020F7SV00 iVDR drive.
Now that parallel scan is in place for common drivers, libata can
afford 2s 0xff timeout. Use 2s 0xff timeout if parallel scan is
enabled.
Please note that the chance of spurious wait is pretty slim w/ working
SCR access so this will only affect SATA controllers w/o SCR access
which isn't too common these days.
Please read the following thread for more information on the GoVault
drive.

In 2009, While running "cache read" performance test of drives behind
SII PMP we encountered a "all 5 drives" timeout on more than 30% of the
machines under test. This patch reduces the rate by a factor of about 70.
Low enough that we didn't care to further investigate the issue.
Performance impact with any sort of "normal" use was ~2%+ CPU and less
than 1% throughput degradation. Worst case impact (cached read) was
6% IOPS reduction. This is with NCQ off (q=1) but I believe FIS based
switching enabled in the SATA driver.
The patch disables "Early ACK" in the 3726 port multiplier.
"Early ACK" is issued when device sends a FIS to the host (via PMP)
and the PMP sends an ACK immediately back to the device - well before
the host gets the response. Under worst case IOPs load (cached read
test) and more than 2 PMPs connected to a 4-port SATA controller,
I suspect the time to service all of the PMPs is exceeding the PMPs
ability to keep track of outstanding FIS it owes the Host. Reducing
the number of PMPs to 2 (or 1) reduces the frequency by several orders
of magnitude. Kudos to Gwendal for initial debugging of this issue.

It turns out different generations of MCPs have differing quirks.
* MCP 65-73 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support, forgets to report NCQ
* MCP 77-79 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support
* MCP 89 : FPDMA AA broken
Instead of turngin off FPDMA AA on all NVIDIAs, implement
HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA, define additional board IDs and apply necessary

I've prepared a totally simple patch that, if I did it and measured it
correctly, reduces the text size as of the ppc-6xx-size command of
pata-mpc52xx by more than 10%, by reducing the rodata size from 0x4a4
to 0x17e bytes. This is simply done by changing the data types of the
ATA timing constants.
If you are interested at all, and it's worth the trouble, here the
details:
ppc-6xx-size:
text data bss dec hex filename
old: 6532 1068 0 7600 1db0 pata-mpc52xx.o
new: 5718 1068 0 6786 1a82 pata-mpc52xx.o
The (assembler) code itself doesn't really change very much. I double
checked the final results inside mpc52xx-ata-apply-timings() and they
match. The driver is still working fine of course.
