[PATCH v2 0/3] Fix SATA disk hotplug for Armada 370/XP SoCs

[PATCH v2 0/3] Fix SATA disk hotplug for Armada 370/XP SoCs

[Simon Guinot]

Hello,

This patch series fixes a SATA disk hotplug issue for the Armada 370/XP
SoCs: once a disk is removed from a SATA port, then the re-plug events
are not detected by the sata_mv driver.

This should be applied to the -stable kernels 3.10 and onwards. 

Changes since v1:
- Introduces a new compatible string for the SATA IP found in Armada
  370/XP SoCs.
- Only fix the LP_PHY_CTL register (0x58) if the compatible string
  "marvell,armada-370-xp-sata" is found in the SATA DT node.
- Update compatible string in DT SATA node for Armada 370/XP SoCs. 

Thanks,

Simon

[PATCH v2 1/3] ata: sata_mv: introduce compatible string "marvell, armada-370-xp-sata"

[Simon Guinot]

The sata_mv driver supports the SATA IP found in several Marvell SoCs.
As some new SATA registers have been introduced with the Armada 370/XP
SoCs, a way to identify them is needed.

This patch introduces a new compatible string for the SATA IP found in
Armada 370/XP SoCs.

Usually we try to use the name of the first SoC instead of a family name.
So here it should be "marvell,armada-370-sata"

Thanks,

Gregory

[PATCH v2 2/3] ata: sata_mv: fix disk hotplug for Armada 370/XP SoCs

[Simon Guinot]

From: Lior Amsalem <alior@marvell.com>

On Armada 370/XP SoCs, once a disk is removed from a SATA port, then the
re-plug events are not detected by the sata_mv driver. This patch fixes
the issue by updating the PHY speed in the LP_PHY_CTL register (0x58)
according to the SControl speed.

Note that this fix is only applied if the compatible string
"marvell,armada-370-xp-sata" is found in the SATA DT node.

I think we could do a little bit better than these magical values.

The datasheet says:

 * bits 12:9, PIN_PHY_GEN_RX. Value 0x0 => 1.5 Gbps, value 0x1 => 3 Gbps
 * bits 8:5, PIN_PHY_GEN_TX. Value 0x0 => 1.5 Gbps, value 0x1 => 3 Gbps
 * bit 2, PIN_PU_TX. Value 0x0 => Power down, value 0x1 => Power up.
 * bit 1, PIN_PU_RX. Value 0x0 => Power down, value 0x1 => Power up.
 * bit 0, PIN_PU_PLL. Value 0x0 => Power down, value 0x1 => Power up.

So maybe something like:

#define PIN_PHY_GEN_1_5		0
#define PIN_PHY_GEN_3		1

#define PIN_PHY_GEN_RX(gen)	((gen) << 9)
#define PIN_PHY_GEN_TX(gen)	((gen) << 5)
#define PIN_PU_TX		BIT(2)
#define PIN_PU_RX		BIT(1)
#define PIN_PU_PLL		BIT(0)


		u32 sata_gen;

		if ((val & 0xf0) == 0x10)
			sata_gen = PIN_PHY_GEN_1_5;
		else
			sata_gen = PIN_PHY_GEN_3;

		writelfl(PIN_PHY_GEN_RX(sata_gen) |
			 PIN_PHY_GEN_TX(sata_gen) |
			 PIN_PU_TX | PIN_PU_RX | PIN_PU_PLL,
			 lp_phy_addr);

Testing whether pdev->dev.of_node is not NULL does not seems to be
useful. A quick read of of_device_is_compatible() and the function it's
calling seem to indicate that of_device_is_compatible will return false
if the passed struct device_node * is NULL.

Yes, it is much more understandable.

I see.

It seems to me, you already have a patch ready to send. Isn't it ?
Or do you want me to do the update ?

Usually we try to use the name of the first SoC instead of a family name.
So here it should be "marvell,armada-370-sata"

Please add a 'Fixes: <commit-hash> (oneline)' tag below the Cc: stable
tags.  It looks like the sata_mv binding and the Armada 370 DT booting
were both introduced in v3.6, so I would probably use:

Fixes: 9ae6f740b49f (arm: mach-mvebu: add support for Armada 370 and Armada XP with DT)

Is there a specific reason you say v3.10?

Once you've incorporated Gregory's comments,

Tejun,

I see no point to breaking up this series only to have both pieces end
up in stable.  Are you ok with taking the whole thing?

thx,

Jason.

Yeah, sure.  Gregory thought the device id could be better.  Is that
not the case?

Thanks.

Gees, please disregard.  You explicitly commmented about Gregory's
point.  I'll apply the patches once Simon posts the updated version.

Correction - it's format is:

Fixes: <commit-hash> ("oneline")

Double-quotes inside the parens.  (Don't ask me why, that's just how it
was decided.)

Hi Jason,

I am not comfortable with this "Fixes: commit_id" notation. It states
that the patch fixes a regression introduced by a given commit. This
hardly makes sense to me because obviously the hotplug issue has not
been introduced by:

"arm: mach-mvebu: add support for Armada 370 and Armada XP with DT".

I know that the purpose is purely administrative, but it is kind of
weird...

I could have said nothing as well.

As stable kernel older than 3.10 are no longer maintained, I think
we don't need to point out a specific commit as a -stable target.
Simply Cc'ing -stable without any extra informations should be good
enough.

OK.

Please take a look at www.kernel.org

Both 3.4 and 3.2 have had stable updated this year.

Well, somebody eventually has to figure it out.  If you know it's
applicable to 3.6+ just do

 Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org # v3.6+

True, the wording may not be the best, but the goal is to make it easier
to do a 'tag --contains' search.  We could call it

Repair-Something-Broken-Since-Introduced-by:

in this case ;-)

The reason I ask is that I'd like to know if, in debugging this issue,
you discovered that the fix was not needed before v3.10 (hypothetically,
say because sata hotplug was added in v3.10).

The linux-stable team isn't the only people who find this information
useful.  Distros maintaining older kernels would find it very helpful
when going through -stable patches to know easily if a patch should be
backported further, say to v3.8.

thx,

Jason.

And yes, I'm aware that -stable is actively supporting farther back than
what we are discussing here.  I was refuting the specific argument as
opposed to correcting wrong assumptions.

In general, it's better to be accurate regarding 'Fixes:' commits than
assuming no one cares about anything older than the oldest -stable
kernel.

thx,

Jason.

Obviously, I really appreciate when people add this sort of information
into a commit.  This additional information is quite useful for me as a
maintainer of extended (aka 'non-official') stable kernels.

The patches may effectively apply against a 3.6 kernel but who is going
to embed a such kernel on an Armada-based board ?

IMO, stabilize the Armada support for kernels older than 3.10 is a waste
of time, for you, for the -stable maintainers and for me. Some important
features (for Armada SoCs) are missing on this kernels. Then I don't
think that someone is going to use a kernel older than 3.10 with an
Armada-based board.

But anyway, it is not up to me and I have hopefully added all the needed
-stable informations to the v3 patch series.
