[PATCH] libata: implement BROKEN_HPA horkage and apply it to HDS724040KLSA80

[Tejun Heo]

HDS724040KLSA80 reports that it supports HPA && LBA48 but craps itself
on READ_NATIVE_MAX_EXT.  Implement BROKEN_HPA horkage and apply it to
the drive.  If the horkage is set, all HPA operations are skipped.

While at it, make HPA test a bit more reliable by also checking
ata_id_has_hpa().

The drive worked fine before HPA support was added and thus this is a
regression fix.  Please consider for -stable.

Thanks.

Yeah, looks okay to me but -stable needs to wait for upstream merge.

 Okay, I'll that version in Mandriva.

I'd rather know what is going on here. A drive can legitimately
support LBA48 and HPA and refuse READ_NATIVE_MAX_EXT. In addition just
about every OS I know queries the HPA which means that something other
than HPA support being broken is probably at the root. We thus want to
find the real fix.

What do the actual traces look like ?

Does it crap out of it gets READ_NATIVE_MAX ?

A drive cannot set hpa_enabled without setting has_hpa so this does
nothing and I've never seen a drive d what you try to cover here. I'd
like to see actual evidence.

READ_NATIVE_MAX_EXT is mandatory if HPA && LBA48, no?

Haven't tried that but the problem is that the drive times out
READ_NATIVE_MAX_EXT so it doesn't really matter whether the drive
succeeds READ_NATIVE_MAX or not.  For more detail, please read the
following thread.

Well, it's what the ide driver does.  BTW, according to the spec, we
need to test bit 14 and 15 of word 87 before trusting any value the
device reports in words 85-87 and 120, which libata currently doesn't
do.  Are we leaving this out intentionally (for broken devices) or just
did we just miss it?

Thanks.

People should check out Ben C's HPA fixes and cleanups, too. (attached)

I was hoping one of the original libata HPA authors would review that in 
depth and integrate.  (it no longer applies cleanly)

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7066 bytes --]


From: Ben Collins <ben.collins@ubuntu.com>

The original HPA patch that Kyle worked on has gone into current git
without some fixes that we worked through late in the Ubuntu feisty
release.  Here's the main copy of the notes I sent to Alan a few weeks ago
in regards to the original patch, and a repatch against current git to fix
things up.  Note we have released feisty with the patch attached (albeit we
have HPA enabled by default), and we have not had any reports directly
attributed to it.  However, in gutsy (devel for next release, based on
current stock linux-2.6.git), we are already seeing reports of the same
issues we already fixed.

The issues we saw were mainly that some controllers didn't return the
correct size from the SET_MAX command (sata_nv is a good example).  So I
added a re IDENTIFY after the SET_MAX, and compared all the numbers.  If
re-id was correct, but return value from SET_MAX wasn't we print a warning
and use the IDENTIFY value regardless (since that's what the device is
going to use).

ata_hpa_resize() was changed to handle everything in a single call (checks
for HPA support of the device, and whether ignore_hpa is set or not), and
it also sets dev->n_sectors before returning.

So far with this patch, we were able to fix all the problems we were seeing
with it (except the sata_nv issue where we had to revert to not using adma
for NO_DATA transactions, already reported to libata-dev).  We've not had
any reports of further problems.

No - and we hit this specific case in old IDE with some Maxtor drives.

We missed it. I assume the drive in the blacklist sets it correctly
however ?

Hmmm... Looking up the spec...  This is from ATA8-ACS 4.11.1.

  A device that implements the Host Protected Area feature set and
  supports the 48-bit Address feature set shall implement the following
  additional set of commands:
      a) READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS EXT
      b) SET MAX ADDRESS EXT
  Devices supporting this feature set shall set IDENTIFY DEVICE data
  word 82 bit 10 to one.

Did older specs specify it differently?

Looks basically sound but we should still probably move over this bit of
the old IDE paranoia as well:

/*
 * Bits 10 of command_set_1 and cfs_enable_1 must be equal,
 * so on non-buggy drives we need test only one.

Ok the report in that thread is different. The offending Maxtor simply
aborts the read_native_max_ext

There's also this Fedora bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251047#c2

...where after an error on the slave device the master starts throwing
HPA errors after the port is reset. Don't know if it's related or
not...

Looks unrelated. You get a timeout

ata2.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata2.01: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/b0 tag 0 cdb 0x43 data 12 in
         res 40/00:03:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/b0 Emask 0x4 (timeout)

and then the entire system shits itself

ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xf8)
ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)

Looks like the bus didn't come back from whatever broke it.

Much of our testing was short checks on validity bits [although thats
really all paranoia]. Fixed in my tree and also made the hpa check match
drivers/ide and check both.

Verified the rest, fixed the dword_io check.


Think our flush_cache handling is still buggy in both old and new IDE btw.

I'll resend sans ata_id_has_hpa() change.  Does that sound okay?  I
don't really think we can do anything other than blacklisting it.

Other than finding someone who can test it with a different controller
(especially SI3112 and old-ide) I agree

 Does that make your patch invalid or is it still ok?

You controller being ICH ahci, I don't think the chance of the
controller messing things up is pretty slim but, just in case, do you
have another SATA controller to cross check?  If not, can you put the
controller into IDE mode so that ata_piix can drive it and test whether
the problem persists?

Thanks.

Hi, 
Unfortunately, I do not have any machine with a different controller. Whichever 
I pick in the BIOS between ATA and AHCI, it seems that the drive is always 
handled by the ahci module, and the boot process goes the exact same way.
Is there a way to force the IDE mode?

 I can try it here, but maybe not today.
