Hi

commit 2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e

    libata: switch to using block layer tagging support


This kernel can not read even 0 sector on disk with rootfs. It
initialized disk, but cant read it at all.
 CMD646 on Sparc

Rverting helped.

Doh, how annoying! What driver does that controller use? PATA doesn't
even use NCQ, so it's a bit of an oddity that it makes a difference at
all.

Can you provide the boot messages?

Darn, this smells like a train wreck. I'm assuming this fixes it?

OK, that's pretty bad. 2.6.28-rc1 will not work on any box using libata
with non-ncq disks. If you need me, I'll be at the bar.

Subject: [PATCH] libata: fix bug with non-ncq devices

The recent commit 201f1b98822078c808b5e2d379a6ddbfc0a06ee1 to enable
support for block layer tagging in libata was broken for non-NCQ
devices. The block layer initializes the tag field to -1 to detect
invalid uses of a tag, and if the libata devices does NOT support
NCQ, we just used that field to index the internal command list.
So we need to check for -1 first and only use the tag field if
it's valid.

At least you only missed -rc1 by a few hours, it was a good effort.. :-)

Thanks for the quick fix! Now I can go back to hacking on the stuff I
was avoiding..

Yes that is correct, the other commit is actually a private one in my
tree for other libata changes. Updated patch below, thanks for checking!

Hello,
   this fixes my DVD, but unfortunately NCQ devices connected to PMP are 
still dead - apparently as soon as mount() tries to do serious I/O on 
the drive.  Backing out both post-2.6.28-rc1 fix as well as your 
original change brings storage back.  I suspect that problem is that 
with PMP same tag cannot be (should not be?  must not be?) used on 
multiple devices behind PMP - and before your change tags were allocated 
per-port, while now they are allocated per-device.
							Petr

P.S.: And disk connected to port #0 required poweroff/poweron cycle to 
get back to life.

Totally untested, does this work?

No.  It went through same story as without patch - first it declared 
drive #2 hung, after port reset drives #0,1,2 were declared hung, after 
second port reset drive #2 was declared dead, after third port reset 
drive #3 was hung, after fourth reset it said that /dev/sde changed 
capacity from 0 to 1TB, and at that point I decided that it is time to 
hit alt-sysrq-b to prevent damage...

Also I think that this change leaks memory a bit...

Confirmed on hp nx6325 w/ pata_atiixp (apparently, SCSI commands time out).

Reverting the commit also helps here.

[I guess it's going to break things left and right.]

If I'm able to reproduce the breakage of Asus L5D, I will.

Basically it'll dererence ->qcmd[] with -1 index so it'll break in
various interesting ways, I'm sure.

Indeed.

I don't need that anymore, I realized the mistake right after sending
that.

Good, please boot your regression time machine and get it committed
