Hans de Goede f4ac647694 libata: Add new med_power_with_dipm link_power_management_policy setting
As described by Matthew Garret quite a while back:
https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/34868.html

Intel CPUs starting with the Haswell generation need SATA links to power
down for the "package" part of the CPU to reach low power-states like
PC7 / P8 which bring a significant power-saving with them.

The default max_performance lpm policy does not allow for these high
PC states, both the medium_power and min_power policies do allow this.

The min_power policy saves significantly more power, but there are some
reports of some disks / SSDs not liking min_power leading to system
crashes and in some cases even data corruption has been reported.

Matthew has found a document documenting the default settings of
Intel's IRST Windows driver with which most laptops ship:
https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/dam/doc/reference-guide/sata-devices-implementation-recommendations.pdf

Matthew wrote a patch changing med_power to match those defaults, but
that never got anywhere as some people where reporting issues with the
patch-set that patch was a part of.

This commit is another attempt to make the default IRST driver settings
available under Linux, but instead of changing medium_power and
potentially introducing regressions, this commit adds a new
med_power_with_dipm setting which is identical to the existing
medium_power accept that it enables dipm on top, which makes it match
the Windows IRST driver settings, which should hopefully be safe to
use on most devices.

The med_power_with_dipm setting is close to min_power, except that:
a) It does not use host-initiated slumber mode (ASP not set),
   but it does allow device-initiated slumber
b) It does not enable DevSlp mode

On my T440s test laptop I get the following power savings when idle:
medium_power		0.9W
med_power_with_dipm	1.2W
min_power		1.2W

Damien Le Moal 7cfdfdc82a libata: Cleanup ata_read_log_page()
The warning message "READ LOG DMA EXT failed, trying unqueued" in
ata_read_log_page() as well as the macro name ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_LOG
are confusing: the command READ LOG DMA EXT is not an queued NCQ command
unless it is encapsulated in a RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED command.
From ACS-4 READ LOG DMA EXT description:

"The device processes the READ LOG DMA EXT command in the NCQ feature
set environment (see 4.13.6) if the READ LOG DMA EXT command is
encapsulated in a RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED command (see 7.30) with the
inputs encapsulated as shown in 7.23.6."

To avoid confusion, fix the warning messsage to mention switching to PIO and
not "unqueued" and rename the macro ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_LOG to
ATA_HORKAGE_NO_DMA_LOG.

Harvey Hunt 4ee34ea3a1 libata: Align ata_device's id on a cacheline
The id buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't explicitly
cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be overwritten with
stale data from memory on non coherent architectures. As a result, the
kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an ATA device.

Fix this by ensuring that the id buffer is cacheline aligned.

This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af3
("libata: align ap->sector_buf").

Danesh Petigara fb32963355 drivers: ata: wake port before DMA stop for ALPM
The AHCI driver code stops and starts port DMA engines at will
without considering the power state of the particular port. The
AHCI specification isn't very clear on how to handle this scenario,
leaving implementation open to interpretation.

Broadcom's STB SATA host controller is unable to handle port DMA
controller restarts when the port in question is in low power mode.
When a port enters partial or slumber mode, its PHY is powered down.
When a controller restart is requested, the controller's internal
state machine expects the PHY to be brought back up by software which
never happens in this case, resulting in failures.

To avoid this situation, logic is added to manually wake up the port
just before its DMA engine is stopped, if the port happens to be in
a low power state. HBA initiated power management ensures that the port
eventually returns to its configured low power state, when the link is
idle (as per the conditions listed in the spec). A new host flag is also
added to ensure this logic is only exercised for hosts with the above
limitation.

tj: Formatting changes.

Danesh Petigara e39b2bb3b7 libata: skip debounce delay on link resume
The link resume logic uses a 200msec delay while debouncing
the SControl register. The rationale behind that delay is
to accommodate some PHYs that behave badly if their SStatus/
SControl registers are pounded immediately on resume.
The Broadcom STB SATA PHY does not seem to have this issue.
This patch introduces a new link flag that allows platforms
to skip the debounce delay if it isn't needed.

With this patch applied, when I plug a drive into the esata port,
KDE pops up a window asking what to do with the drives(s), just
like it does for any random USB stick.

Removability is indicated to the upper layers by way of the

Martin K. Petersen 5d3abf8ff6 libata: Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails
Some devices advertise support for the READ/WRITE LOG DMA EXT commands
but fail when we try to issue them. This can lead to queued TRIM being
unintentionally disabled since the relevant feature flag is located in a
general purpose log page.

Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails while
reading a log page.

Gabriele Mazzotta 09c5b4803a libata: Ignore spurious PHY event on LPM policy change
When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might
generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link.
Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change.

The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these
spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.

Tejun Heo 3a02824396 libata: remove ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG
sata_sil24 for some reason pukes when tags are allocated round-robin
which helps tag ordered controllers.  To work around the issue,
72dd299d50 ("libata: allow sata_sil24 to opt-out of tag ordered
submission") introduced ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG which tells libata tag
allocation to do lowest-first.

However, with the recent switch to blk-mq tag allocation, the liata
tag allocation code path is no longer used and the workaround is now
implemented in the block layer and selected by setting
scsi_host_template->tag_alloc_policy to BLK_TAG_ALLOC_FIFO.  See
9269e23496 ("libata: make sata_sil24 use fifo tag allocator").

This leaves ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG withoout any actual user.  Remove it.

Shaohua Li 5067c0469c ata: Add a new flag to destinguish sas controller
SAS controller has its own tag allocation, which doesn't directly match to ATA
tag, so SAS and SATA have different code path for ata tags. Originally we use
port->scsi_host (98bd4be1) to destinguish SAS controller, but libsas set
->scsi_host too, so we can't use it for the destinguish, we add a new flag for
this purpose.

Without this patch, the following oops can happen because scsi-mq uses
a host-wide tag map shared among all devices with some integer tag
values >= ATA_MAX_QUEUE.  These unexpectedly high tag values cause
__ata_qc_from_tag() to return NULL, which is then dereferenced in
ata_qc_new_init().

Akinobu Mita 018d5ef204 ata: ahci_platform: fix owner module reference mismatch for scsi host
The owner module reference of the ahci platform's scsi_host is
initialized to libahci_platform's one, because these drivers use a
scsi_host_template defined in libahci_platform.  So these drivers can
be unloaded even if the scsi device is being accessed.

This fixes it by pushing the scsi_host_template from libahci_platform
to all leaf drivers.  The scsi_host_template is passed through a new
argument of ahci_platform_init_host().

Shaohua Li 12cb5ce101 libata: use blk taging
libata uses its own tag management which is duplication and the
implementation is poor. And if we switch to blk-mq, tag is build-in.
It's time to switch to generic taging.

The SAS driver has its own tag management, and looks we can't directly
map the host controler tag to SATA tag. So I just bypassed the SAS case.

I changed the code/variable name for the tag management of libata to
make it self contained. Only sas will use it. Later if libsas implements
its tag management, the tag management code in libata can be deleted
easily.

Martin K. Petersen e61f7d1c3c libata: Whitelist SSDs that are known to properly return zeroes after TRIM
As defined, the DRAT (Deterministic Read After Trim) and RZAT (Return
Zero After Trim) flags in the ATA Command Set are unreliable in the
sense that they only define what happens if the device successfully
executed the DSM TRIM command. TRIM is only advisory, however, and the
device is free to silently ignore all or parts of the request.

In practice this renders the DRAT and RZAT flags completely useless and
because the results are unpredictable we decided to disable discard in
MD for 3.18 to avoid the risk of data corruption.

Hardware vendors in the real world obviously need better guarantees than
what the standards bodies provide. Unfortuntely those guarantees are
encoded in product requirements documents rather than somewhere we can
key off of them programatically. So we are compelled to disabling
discard_zeroes_data for all devices unless we explicitly have data to
support whitelisting them.

This patch whitelists SSDs from a few of the main vendors. None of the
whitelists are based on written guarantees. They are purely based on
empirical evidence collected from internal and external users that have
tested or qualified these drives in RAID deployments.

The whitelist is only meant as a starting point and is by no means
comprehensive:

   - All intel SSD models except for 510
   - Micron M5?0/M600
   - Samsung SSDs
   - Seagate SSDs

As SAS hosts are never registered, this will give them the same
ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 as before.  Note that we can't use
scsi_host->can_queue directly for SAS hosts anyway as they can go
higher than the libata maximum.

Dan Williams 8a4aeec8d2 libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers
The AHCI spec allows implementations to issue commands in tag order
rather than FIFO order:

	5.3.2.12 P:SelectCmd
	HBA sets pSlotLoc = (pSlotLoc + 1) mod (CAP.NCS + 1)
	or HBA selects the command to issue that has had the
	PxCI bit set to '1' longer than any other command
	pending to be issued.

The result is that commands posted sequentially (time-wise) may play out
of sequence when issued by hardware.

This behavior has likely been hidden by drives that arrange for commands
to complete in issue order.  However, it appears recent drives (two from
different vendors that we have found so far) inflict out-of-order
completions as a matter of course.  So, we need to take care to maintain
ordered submission, otherwise we risk triggering a drive to fall out of
sequential-io automation and back to random-io processing, which incurs
large latency and degrades throughput.

This issue was found in simple benchmarks where QD=2 seq-write
performance was 30-50% *greater* than QD=32 seq-write performance.

Tagging for -stable and making the change globally since it has a low
risk-to-reward ratio.  Also, word is that recent versions of an unnamed
OS also does it this way now.  So, drives in the field are already
experienced with this tag ordering scheme.
