Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 06/14] ata: libata-eh: Do not use ATAPI DMA for a device limited to PIO mode
Date: Thu,  3 Apr 2025 15:10:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250403191036.2678799-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250403191036.2678799-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Niklas Cassel <cassel@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 91ec84f8eaddbc93d7c62e363d68aeb7b89879c7 ]

atapi_eh_request_sense() currently uses ATAPI DMA if the SATA controller
has ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA (PIO cmds via DMA) set.

However, ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA is a flag that can be set by a low-level driver
on a port at initialization time, before any devices are scanned.

If a controller detects a connected device that only supports PIO, we set
the flag ATA_DFLAG_PIO.

Modify atapi_eh_request_sense() to not use ATAPI DMA if the connected
device only supports PIO.
