The via driver hasn't changed its cable detect handling between 2.6.27
and now. The actual detection is done by the BIOS either by setting flags
or via ACPI.

To trace it down I'd need to at minimum to know exactly which kernel the
behaviour you see changed.

Hi Alan,

The limiting only appears on kernel 2.6.30-rc7-git4. I downloaded the
source RPM package from the SUSE build service and compiled it myself,
enabling/tweaking a few things (higher Hz, full preempt, stack
protector enabled, CPU set to Opteron/Athlon64). During configuration,
I did not change any block device or IDE options (except for selecting
anticipatory disk scheduler to be the default), nor any ACPI related
ones. My distro default kernel, which is 2.6.27.21, correctly sets the
UDMA for my disks on this machine. Only kernel 2.6.30-rc7-git4 (which
is the only 2.6.30 kernel I tried so far) limits them to UDMA33. My
IDE cables are alright (I use high-quality black AOpen 80-wires
cables)

What about 2.6.28 or 2.6.29 ?

Hi,

I just installed kernel 2.6.29.4-rt16-2-rt from the SUSE build service
(there's no 2.6.28 one available nor a 'normal' 2.6.29 one) and my
UDMA is set correctly just as when using the default 2.6.27.21 kernel.
Now I'm not sure if there really is a problem in 2.6.30-rc7-git4 or
did I somehow introduced it by configuring something incorrectly
(which I doubt because as I said, I didn't touch anything related to
IDE during configuration. I only tweaked a few options, most of them
in the General and Processor sections). However, this
2.6.29.4-rt16-2-rt kernel seems to have a bug (not sure if it's
present in mainline too or because of the patches Novell used to build
this rt kernel) in rtmutex as I get things such as...

Adding more information. A user on the openSUSE forum which is trying
out openSUSE 11.2 milestone 2 (with kernel 2.6.30-rc6-git3) is having
the same problems. His computer is using the pata_amd driver instead
of pata_via like mine and he too gets limiting to UDMA33 during boot

Different problem. However that Nvidia one it would be worth trying this

Hi Alan,

I've relayed your reply to the pata_amd user on the forum. As for my
case with pata_via, until this is fixed, is there any way to force it
to use a higher UDMA? Is there a flag that can be passed in, for
example, in /sys somewhere? hdparm fails to set a higher UDMA and I
looked at sdparm but don't see anything in it to increase UDMA...

In your case given the BIOS appears to be informing us you have a 40wire
cable there isn't much that can be fixed

Tejun some time ago added stuff to override all of these things:

See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

	libata.force=

which will let you override all sorts of autodetection for quirky boards

Thanks, I will try out the kernel params. However, I still wonder why
older kernels have no problems setting the correct UDMA while 2.6.30
does have problems. Something must have definitely changed in this
latest kernel. I'll go dig in my BIOS to see if I may need to
change/force something.

Unless you can actually work through the various kernels and release
candidates to find the one it changes its basically impossible to tell
what has occurred or why.

Well, I looked around in the BIOS and there isn't anything I can do to
force a specific UDMA - it only offers disable and auto detect.
Upgrading the BIOS firware won't do a thing since I'm already running
the latest version of it. The BIOS correctly reports that my first
disk is using Transfer Mode 6 and my second one Transfer Mode 5. I've
also noticed that some Ubuntu users have the same problem on kernel
2.6.27 (which works for me)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/285595

So if this can't be fixed in the kernel itself, I may need to resort
to kernel params if I experience the problem again in the future. I
may give all rc's of 2.6.30 a try and see which one introduces it...

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a bug. The code in pata_via looks 
a bit fishy, it reports a 40-wire cable if either the GTM data wasn't 
present or valid, or if it reports a mode of UDMA2 or less. In the 
former case it seems like ATA_CABLE_PATA_UNK would be the safer choice 
since we really don't know, and we should then use drive-side detection,

Drive side detection doesn't work for many VIA boards, the neccessary
components are not included.

About the only other check I can think to try is to see if the BIOS
programmed modes > UDMA2 for either device. That has its own problems
(suspend-resume/hotplug/non-bios devices) which is why we currently don't
do it.

Ugh, seems they messed this stuff up as bad as NVIDIA did..

Well, that's pretty much the same thing that GTM does (it generally just 
reads the configured mode out of the controller registers). So it really 
wouldn't be much worse than what we're doing now.

Thing is somehow the GTM detection isn't working now and it apparently 
was in 2.6.27.1. I'm not seeing any patches to pata_via or libata-acpi 
that seem like they would affect this offhand. Grozdan, would you be 
able to try git bisect to try to figure out what changed the behavior?

CCing Tejun in case he has any ideas..

Nvidia seem to have gotten it close to right. The Nvidia chipsets use
ACPI for reporting and only ACPI. The ACPI parts are pretty reliable, its
just if your ACPI is busted....

Could be power management. Something is putting devices into D3 that
didn't use to happen. That was what broke the ALi ATA driver and I could
believe a D3 transition of the IDE controller broke the BIOS
configuration.

I've no idea how and where to do a git bisect so if someone is willing
to explain in simple steps, I can try...

Yes, it's clear to someone who's familiar with git but not to a noob
like me. Where do I run this git? After it's finished what to do next?
How many times do I have to compile kernels? Which kernels exactly?
After booting a "bad" kernel, what then? etc... From reading the
article, the guy has to compile 14!! times just to catch a problem
between kernel 2.6.21 and 2.6.22. I guess in my case I'll have to
compile a lot more than 14 times to catch something between kernel
2.6.27 and 2.6.30 and honestly I don't have time for this right now.
However, I did a diff between the pata_via driver of kernel 2.6.27 and
2.6.30 and there have been changes to it but I'm not sure if they
affect the cable detection...

The article presumes the simple case of a single commit being the
problem.  If the problem involves more than one. . .

Think of doing a binary search in a list of values with duplicate
entries.  ;)

Yes, it can get to be time-consuming unless your lucky.

That's a start.  Now if you knew what you where looking for...
(No offense intended - "diff" doesn't place "here I am" markers.)

The machine I am doing my own tests on uses the pata_via driver and
it detects the udma66 disk drive as a udma33 - - -

But finding this is way down on my list of things to look for -
Someone else is welcome to beat me to it.

My first guess is its whatever starting putting devices in D3 rudely
around 2.6.28/29. Someone needs to pin that down anyway and fix it.
