[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2003 bytes --]
Attached is a patch against 2.6.8-rc that supplies some more of the
missing pieces of ACPI support for the aic7xxx driver.
--- Background and current driver status:
The 6.2.36 driver in current mainline 2.6 kernels contains the OS- and
bus- neutral portions of the suspend/resume callbacks (ahc_resume() in
aic7xxx_core.c and ahc_pci_resume() in aic7xxx_pci.c.) These stubs are
mostly concerned with the card's own registers, and don't perform the
requisite linux-specific calls to save and restore PCI config space and
re-enable the card slot. It also appears that these callbacks were being
developed by eyeball and were never tested. (Of course, not many people
could test it since ACPI core wasn't in a usable state until recent 2.6)
As a consequence, after a resume the card I/O space is not visible under
the current driver, and the driver would panic the kernel with the "Loop
1" message. (See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=102710764330862&w=2) This
patch fixes that part. We now renable the slot and interrupts properly,
and then call the previously-implemented resume routines (with just some
obvious fixes) to attempt to reinitialize the card.
--- Where we are now:
It still doesn't work. The driver complains, "scsi0: Someone reset
channel A" repeatedly. This message is coming from the driver's
interrupt handler, so either the card registers are improperly
reinitialized in some way, or the driver's state engine is not clearing
the interrupt status, or we're somehow causing the reset to occur again
and again. I'm not sure how much further I can take this without a data
book or some help figuring out the card and driver state machines. I
guess either the card's state machine or the driver's state machine has
been driven insane, but I'm not sure what direction to look in.
This patch also includes a small fix for a bad merge, as suggested by
Pavel Machec. See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=108306129820558&w=2

Yes. This is a work in progress. Interestingly, the ifdef'd-out code was
pasted from mptbase.c in the MPT Fusion driver. If it's broken here,
it's probably broken there -- seems the state parameter passed to the
pci resume callback is intended to be a PCI D state, not an ACPI S
state. Can somebody confirm or deny? The kernel is actually passing
state 2 (D2) to the driver when I enter ACPI S3, so presumably the same
failure could happen to fusion.

I'm no longer sure what should be passed there... We'll probably need
to turn it into enum... Actually swsusp code in -mm actually passes
value from enum, and mainline swsusp code passes 0/3.

Seems to me, aside from whether it's an enum or not, it should represent
a D-state not an ACPI S-state. Some platforms (Power Mac?) probably
implement PCI power management but not in an ACPI way.

2 comments here:
- The low level bus state (PCI D state for example) and the "linux"
state should be 2 different entities.
- For PCI, we probably want a hook so the arch can implement it's own
version of pci_set_power_state() so that ACPI can use it's own trickery
there.

Ok, so the takeaway message for driver writers is to treat the
pci_dev->suspend() state parameter as an opaque value as far as
possible, and just pass it on to the other layers

NO ! The exact opposite in fact. I'll work on cleaning that up and
write some doco this week with Pavel.

Agreed. I do not have strong opinion about Sx or Dx, but it should
be enum or equivalent so it is hard to get wrong. [And not "really
easy to get wrong because noone knows for sure", as it is now].

We could keep those unenumerated, which power state is to be used by the
device is under driver control, most of the time, they'll do D3 though,
for suspend-to-RAM, and they can probably just not do anything special
for suspend-to-disk (except shutting down the driver itself of course)
Note regarding aix7xxx, we also need proper hooks in the SCSI stack to
block the queue correctly etc... in the same way we do on IDE. I didn't
have time to look into this yet.

Here's what we currently do, aic7xxx_core.c - looks like it attempts to
quiesce, and then refuse to suspend if we happen to be busy. This is a
little messy because it's done in the suspend call rather than the
save_state call, therefore resume will still be called if this routine
returns an error code, which will reinitialize the device when we didn't
really need to.
int
ahc_suspend(struct ahc_softc *ahc)
{
ahc_pause_and_flushwork(ahc);
if (LIST_FIRST(&ahc->pending_scbs) != NULL) {
ahc_unpause(ahc);
return (EBUSY);

save_state is a nonsense, didn't we kill it ? queue quiescing must be
done by the upper level, which is a bit nasty with things like md &
multipath... basically, the low level driver must have a way to notify
it's functional parent (as opposed to it's bus parent) that it's going
to sleep, and any path using this low level driver must then be
quiesced, the parent must resume only when all the drivers it relies
on are back up.

Isn't sysfs supposed to take care of this for us? IOW, I shouldn't have
to call up to the SCSI midlayer from pcidev->suspend in order to notify
it of a suspend, the midlayer should call the driver before we ever try
to suspend. This may become important some day when the upper layers
need to decide which order to bring pci devices down
Looking in /sys/devices shows that sysfs already knows that 'host0' is a
child of a SCSI PCI device.

sysfs only takes care about the bus hierarchy as far as suspend/resume
is concerned (which is the only sane way to do it imho)

No, the ordering cannot be dictated by the upper layer, but by the
physical bus hierarchy. The low level driver gets the suspend callback
and need to notify the parent. The md/multipath must keep track that one
of the device it relies on is going away and thus block the queues.
That is at least for machine suspend/resume.

Yes, but the PM herarchy is the bus hierarchy, I don't see a simple way
of going through both in this case ...

I saw comments in one of the PCI IDE driver pcidev->suspend routines
that say "we don't need to iterate over the list of drives, sysfs does
that for us."

We're talking past each other. I'm saying you take into consideration
the physical bus hierarchy: PCI bus x is a parent of SCSI bus y which is
a parent of SCSI disk drive z. Suspend disk z, with involvement from the
block layer and scsi midlayer, before even calling the actual
pcidev->suspend routine on the SCSI bus adapter. Shouldn't require more
than minimal LLD involvement.

In the case of IDE, IDE is registered as a bus_type and has generic
suspend code for the whole bus that is unrelated to the pcidev. The PIIX
IDE (Intel chipsets) PCI pcidev struct doesn't even have suspend and
resume callbacks filled in, but it works fine!

That's different, because the disks are actually registered as
"struct device" childs of the bus, and thus get proper suspend/resume
callbacks.

Oh sure, the disks are in the loop, the problem happens with multipath
and such which "breaks" the bus hiearchy somewhat. The queue management
is part of the "functional" hierarchy (read: block layer) on top of
SCSI disks, thus the disks will be the one getting the suspend callback,
but they have to "notify" their functional parent (block layer, md, ...)
to properly get the queues stopped.
IDE sort-of does that internally, by generating a special request that
goes down the queue (in order to be properly ordered with whatever
is pending in the queue, including pending tagged commands if any),
and the "toplevel" IDE handling will stop processing the queue once
that request got past, but it's a hackery that at this point is quite
specific to drivers/ide/

Well... not exactly. The pci_dev is the parent of the IDE bus in the
bus hierarchy. PIIX may lack the proper callbacks (it probably need
some stuff there too). For a good working example, ide/ppc/pmac.c,
it is a macio_dev (or a pci_dev, depending on the ASIC model).
The suspend request first reaches the disk(s), which does the queue
processing I mentioned earlier & stanby's the disks. Once that's done,
the parent (ide pmac) gets it's suspend call and does some suspend work
on the controller HW. Resume is the opposite, the controller gets
resumed first, then the child(s) (disk(s))

Ok, Seems like we rely on the BIOS a lot, here.

All right, I can see where that's probably the easiest solution.

The queued special command trick does mostly the same thing as the
scsi_device_quiesce(), right? As far as I can tell, the only difference
is that we attempt to drain the queue (and sometimes leave error
handlers running) and they just pause it at some mostly sane stopping point.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that with what we understand
now, we are in a position that we could decide to make SCSI layer do the
following on suspend, in this order:
scsi_device_quiesce();
{ LLD pause and flush work; aic7xxx will run the completion queue at
this point }
blk_stop_queue();
{ LLD reset registers and shutdown, etc }
And once the MD problem is solved we will also need to do another call
before blk_stop_queue().
Am I missing anything?

I don't know, I have to look more closely at the SCSI code.

We need to issue the stuff from the low level driver (like aix7xxx) or
the disk, that is sd, but we should make sure sg etc... also properly
call the stuff, actually, look at IDE, I defined the special power
request to act as a state machine once down the queue so the ide layer
acts differently for disks, cdroms, etc... by sending appropriate
commands like standby for disks.

Ben,
Remember to prevent suspend "BRAIN DAMAGE", scsi has host-hba
dma-queue-rings to manage. I have thought about this for a while and have
considered a glass of scotch or two ease the pain.
SCSI != IDE
IDE is a simple child by comparison.
SCSI is painful because the hardware specifically prevents raw low-level
access to the bus-phase.
Cheers,

For suspend/resume and also initialization on bootup. We're not saving
the chip state for PIIX so I assume we're hoping that ACPI does it for us

There's another one - synchronize cache or disable write back cache on
the drive....

ah, that part, yes, well, we hope ;) though it may just come back up
in the right state for normal PIO access, and we do restore the DMA
state by calling dma_check again in the ide-disk wakeup code.
