Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] ata: libata-scsi: do not use the deferred QC feature for ATA_DEFER_PORT
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 09:39:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514073858.1175072-8-cassel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514073858.1175072-6-cassel@kernel.org>

The deferred QC feature was meant to handle mixed NCQ and non-NCQ commands,
i.e. for return value ATA_DEFER_LINK.

ATA_DEFER_PORT is returned by PATA drivers, but also certain SATA drivers
like sata_mv and sata_sil24 that uses ap->excl_link to workaround hardware
bugs in these HBAs. Regardless of the reason, using the deferred QC feature
for ATA_DEFER_PORT is always wrong, and will break the ap->excl_link usage
of the SATA drivers that rely on that feature.

Modify ata_scsi_qc_issue() to only use the deferred QC feature when mixing
NCQ and non-NCQ commands, i.e. ATA_DEFER_LINK.

Fixes: 0ea84089dbf6 ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation")
