Hello,

This is This is part of patchset series described in [T].

This is the fourth take of add-hotplug-support patchset.  Changes from
the last take[L] are.

* ata_eh_scsi_hotplug() renamed to ata_scsi_hotplug() and moved to
  libata-scsi.c

* ata_port_detach() now automatically calls scsi_remove_host()

* debug stuff removed from convert-sil24 patch

This patchset is against

  upstream (ef2824073fba9def3cf122e89cc485f66dd71f70)
  + [1] set-PIO-0-after-successful-EH-reset
  + [2] prep-for-hotplug-support patchset
  + [3] prep-LLDDs-for-hotplug-support patchset

Thanks.

Hello,

This is part of patchset series described in [T].

This is the fifth take of add-hotplug-support patchset.  Changes from
the last take[L] are.

* ata_scsi_hotplug() requeue condition check has been updated such
  that SCSI devices are guaranteed to be attached to ATA devices.  No
  race window anymore.

* boot probing reimplemented using ata_port_wait_eh().

* ata_port_detach() reimplemented using ata_port_wait_eh().  New
  implementation is much more robust and survives PCI unplugging under
  all circumstances.  EH part of unloading is also reimplemented in
  simpler and more robust way.

* UNLOADING check added to ata_scsi_hotplug().  hotplug task flushing
  is reliable now.

* s/FIS34/D2H FIS/g

One thing to note about unload handling is that, if EH is scheduled
after ata_port_detach() is complete but before SCSI host is actually
released, it can oops accessing ap->host_set.  The problem is that, as
SCSI doesn't supply host release callback, host_set is released before
all ports are released.

However, this condition is unlikely to occur - to trigger the bug,
either the driver has to schedule EH while frozen during that window,
or the user has to hold reference to scan/delete node and issue warm
plug request, again, during the window.

This patchset is against

  upstream (ef2824073fba9def3cf122e89cc485f66dd71f70)
  + [1] set-PIO-0-after-successful-EH-reset
  + [2] shift-host-flag-constants
  + [3] implement-ata_eh_wait
  + [4] prep-for-hotplug-support patchset
  + [5] prep-LLDDs-for-hotplug-support patchset

Thanks.

Hello,

This is part of patchset series described in [T].

This is the third take of add-hotplug-support patchset.  Changes from
the last take[L] are

* Hotplug event is marked with ata_ehi_hotplugged() instead of
  directly setting flags.  The helper also takes care of timestamping
  the event such that spinup waiting time can be calculated.  So,
  LLDDs are required to call ata_ehi_hotplugged() as soon as possible
  once hotplug event is detected.

* ahci is changed to wait for spinup explicitly.  After spinup wait is
  complete, SRST is used to probe the new device.

* ahci hardreset() now clears TF rx area prior to issuing COMRESET to
  avoid finishing prematurely due to the existing TF value.

* sata_sil is changed to issue hardreset after hotplug event.
  COMRESET clears TF on these controllers and make the controllers
  wait for the first D2H reliably.

* sata_sil24 is changed to wait for spinup explicitly.  After spinup
  wait is complete, SRST is used to probe the new device.

This patchset is against

  upstream (8d4ee71ff6de5255ebfdf44fb83419d27bd06368)
  + enforce-default-EH-actions patch [1]
  + scsi_implement_eh-patch [2]
  + prep-for-hotplug-support patchset [3]
  + prep-LLDDs-for-hotplug-support patchset [4]

Thanks.

Hi.

This is part of patchset series described in [T].

This is the second take of add-hotplug-support patchset.  Changes from
the last take[L] are

* No ap->hotplug_flags and no atomic bitops helpers.  All are handled
  via dev->dflags and ap->eh_info.  Things are much simpler now.

* Tighter event handling.  Unless a new device is plugged in the
  middle of reset (there's no generic and reliable way to handle
  this), no hotplug event is lost.

* Stronger SCSI synchronization.  There still is a race condition
  during SCSI scan after hotplugging, but the window is really tiny
  and there doesn't seem to be a waterproof way to fix it.  I don't
  think the race will ever get triggered and even if it does the worst
  that can happen is not attaching a SCSI device for a newly detected
  ATA device.  Other than this race condition, everything should be
  watertight.

* Disabled devices are not automatically rescanned on user scan
  request unless the user explicitly requests scan of the device by
  specifying the device ID or using wild card.

* Probing during driver loading and detaching while unloading are all
  handled by hotplug.  There is only one probing/detaching path now.

* Unused ->probe_init, ->probe_reset and all related functions killed.

This patchset is against

  upstream (acc696d93dcf993dec123d69d599979e1456ffec)
