I gave a try at the latest ata patches announced yesterday by Jeff and
it completelly solved my SATA ATAPI bug.. I even been able to burn my
first DVD using my Plextor 716SA on my Linux!!!  Really nice and much
anticipated work!  Thnx a lot!

I have already marked bug 5533 as resolved and I'll wait until inclusion
into 2.6.18 to close it.  I've also marked bug 6317 has closed since
that did not occur since around rc2 or rc3 of 2.6.17.

I also ran a memtest86+ all night to make sure there where no problems
with my memory... And everything is fine so no problems there.

Wow.. This exactly resume all my other BUGS I have... And they where
quite hard to find actually... Thnx for the info.  I'll disable
irqbalance tonight for sure until there is a final fix into the kernel.

Thnx.. Would be really appreciated... And just ask if you need a tester!

Thanks to all of you!

Jeff, do you know what fixed this one?  I've been following the bug and 
thought it was one of those via-ATAPI-have-no-idea bugs.  How come the 
update fix this one?  Have I missed something?

I'm also curious how the svia-atapi problem got fixed.

Reinhard has a Plextor PX-712SA + svia.
Maybe he can also help to check whether the patch fixes the problem on his box.

This is funny.  I thought you would know.  We're just a bunch of 
clueless people, aren't we?  :-)

Fortier, can you please post full boot dmesg?

No idea :)

Though this update should solve several classes of longstanding bugs.

* irq-pio is much friendlier to the controller, and should eliminate 
several screaming interrupt problems, particularly on sata_sil.

* The better EH should allow recovery from problems we couldn't recover 
from before.

* The removal of assert()s (or, removal of conditions that caused 
asserts) that triggered in earlier kernels will also eliminate the 
associated forced oopsen.

But in the via+ATAPI case, the only thing I can think of is that VIA 
AHCI support is included in the update.  Other than that... <shrug>

For the sake of understanding what patch fixed this would you like me to
test individual patches or is it useless?

Yeap, Vincent.  :-)

As bisecting patches is painful, let's postpone it until it can't be 
anymore.  If the boot log doesn't show much, I think I can insert codes 
disabling some of the new features such that full bisecting isn't necessary.

Here is my dmesg... I also tought of taking a screenshot of k3b in a burning process but letf it home :)

Anyhow, if you need me to run a few tests to find out exactly where/how/what made ATAPI work correctly on sata_via just ask.

Also note that I disabled irqbalance and switch back to my onboard nic using skge yesterday night and it did solved all my other problems (jerky mouse, lan dropping, PC freezing, etc.).  I presume that using sk98lin would work also.  A fix for that would solve many problems on K8T800 chipsets.

Above and the detailed log too indicate that everything went smooth the 
first time around.  Albert, do you have any ideas?  Could it be 
something related to irq-pio?

I've checked Vincent't dmesg for 2.6.17-rc0 again.

It seems DMA commands are also affected by this problem, not PIO unique.

ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00

=> It looks like the device is waiting for something.

After comparing the code of 2.6.17-rc4 and current libata upstream, maybe "flush" is the fix:
The CDB was sent to the ATAPI device by PIO, but not flushed to device.
So, the device was busy waiting for the CDB to arrive.

Hi Vincent,
  Could you please try 2.6.17-rc4, both with and without the attached patch,
to see if the flush works. Thanks.

You cannot image how happy I was :)

On a pure 2.6.17-rc4 without upstream libata patches I presume?  Sure I will tonight.
I'll forward this patch to my home email address and come back to you.

Yes, pure 2.6.17-rc4 without upstream libata patches. Thanks.

What I finally ended up with was solving the problem on the hardware side:

The Plextor PX-712SA is a normal ATA device wich a IDE:SATA adapter plugged in 
at the back. I openend the DVDR Device (2 srews at the back) repoved the 
adapter (1 screw) and then u get the normal IDE Interface (with master/slave 
jumpers, audio interface and normal ower plug). You can use this device on an 
normal IDE interface then. Works perfect for me, maybe the 716SA Drive is 
similar
This was the only solution that fixed the problem for me, any submitted kernel 
patches didn't work.

I'm curious what's the PATA-to-SATA bridge chip used on the Plextor PX-712SA.
(Maybe it is not compatible with the VIA chip.)
Could you please check the IC on the IDE-SATA adapter?

On the IC it reads:
88SA8040-TBC
AP039208.3
0432 B0S

I also attached a picture of the IC.

I'm also having an ASUS A8V Deluxe, running x86_64 with a 716SA plextor
drive.

Since 2.6.17 it's been working really well.  I don't think there is an
PATA-to-SATA interface into it but I can check that out tonight if
needed.

Cheers.

Hi Reinhard,

It's a Marvell 88SA8040. I have a Marvell 88SA8040 bridge at hand and
the bridge has been tested with SiI 3112 and it works ok with SiI 3112
and several CD-ROM drives.

Don't know whether the Marvell 88SA8040 works with SVIA.
Unicorn (on the cc list) has a VIA VT6421 SATA adapter. Will try
connecting the Marvell 88SA8040 with the VIA VT6421 and see if it works.
