I should think it should have.

I think we're too aggressive about disabling the libata ACPI support, 
even. One of my laptop's _GTF commands on resume is a DEVICE 
CONFIGURATION FREEZE LOCK command, which gets rejected by the drive 
(maybe it worked on the original Hitachi disk, but I've upgraded it to a 
  newer Samsung). I'd say if the drive returns command aborted on one of 
these, we should just ignore that command and continue to the next one 
without trying to retry or disabling the ACPI support entirely.

Yeap, my pending patchset does exactly that.  It's currently being
tested by but reporters.  I'll soon post the patchset.

Hi,

Yup, the _GTF problem is certainly fixed, but this is a dead-end
since I showed the -rc1 vs. -rc2 behaviour, whereas I still have
failing suspend in -rc4 with this patch confirmed to be applied
(source does contain the changes) and confirmed to apparently be working
(no errors in dmesg any more).

IOW, what I'm concerned about is not a _GTF error on boot any more,
but a seemingly fatally handled _GTM error on suspend.


...OK, dug some more into this, and now I managed to get it to work,
and it was indeed _GTM which broke my whole suspend:

Since _GTM is failing on me (and the point is, it's failing
catastrophically, not "normally"!), ata_acpi_on_suspend()
calling ata_acpi_gtm() fails with -EINVAL instead of -ENOENT,
however ata_acpi_on_suspend() has the following correction only:

        if (rc == -ENOENT)
                rc = 0;

to make sure a suspend doesn't get aborted (fatal error) when
_GTM is simply empty.

Changing this into

        if ((rc == -ENOENT) || (rc == -EINVAL))
                rc = 0;

to additionally account for _invalid_ _GTM execution makes my suspend
(and resume!) work again on -rc4.


Now the question is whether this error code correction is ok, or whether a
catastrophically failing _GTM should have been truly registered on boot
already (where it does gtm to fetch cable timings) to subsequently avoid
doing any ATA ACPI things on suspend at all.


And the second, possibly much more lucrative, question would be
whether we're actually doing something wrong with our ACPI _GTM execution
which triggers the AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT problem.

This might help here, perhaps (relevant snippets of AML dump):

Indeed, after looking over this horrid ASL stuff for ages I'm now starting
to believe that our IDE controller state is wrong,
since the Match()ing etc. in this particular _GTM implementation
is heavily dependant on actual PCI values
(it references some PCI_Config OperationRegion:s),
and some indexing seems to go wrong due to this.

IOW, it seems very likely that _GTM on these BIOSes (VIA chipsets) isn't
actually wrongly implemented but simply expects IDE controller values
to have been set up ""differently"".


Or... one could possibly even infer from this that - maybe -
the _GTM invocation spot is wrong, it should be done somewhere
different during bootup. Or whatever.



This seems to tell me again that we're often quick to blacklist
or whitelist things left and right when instead fundamental problems
are hidden somewhere.

Still investigating,

"Whatever" indeed:

There's an ASL Match() for a "PMPT" (Primary Master PorT) PCI register,
and the possible register values are:

                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        0x20,
                        0x31,
                        0x65,
                        0xA8
                    },

and from

                OperationRegion (CFG2, PCI_Config, 0x40, 0x20)
                Field (CFG2, DWordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                {
                            Offset (0x08),·
                    SSPT,   8,·
                    SMPT,   8,·
                    PSPT,   8,·
                    PMPT,   8,·
                            Offset (0x10),·
...
we can infer that at PCI_Config offset 0x48 those values should be located.
However after bootup or resume there are:

Manually tweaking the values to 20 20 20 20 truly does skip the _GTM failure message on suspend -
only to reappear right on resume due to 99 99 20 20 combo happening again.
If I don't tweak, I get _GTM failure at both suspend and resume.


As such one can conclude that this BIOS is rather very confused when being called for _GTM on an entirely
unused controller port. And this is either because the BIOS is dumb or because ACPI doesn't really
expect anyone to call _GTM on an unused physical port. I'd bet on the latter...
(however I haven't found ACPI 3.0b explicitly mentioning this somewhere yet)

Probably Windows doesn't call _GTM on a port with no devices connected, 
and so the BIOS people never tested that case. Likely we can just avoid 
doing this - if no devices are connected the timing settings for that 
channel are irrelevant..

And you're quite right in your comment that we are often too quick to 
blacklist hardware instead of looking into why it really is failing. 
ACPI is one of those areas where we often just need to figure out how to 
be bug-to-bug compatibile with what Windows is doing..

In the spirit of not blacklisting without looking deep into ACPI code,
can somebody familiar with ASL take a look at comment 11 of bug 9320?

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9320#c11

This is libata calling _GTM to find out how the BIOS configured the
device to determine cable type.

Thanks.

I suspect it's somewhat similar (though perhaps a different cause), the 
code is trying to lookup a value (presumably register contents) in a 
table using Match, gets a value that's not in the table (which makes 
Match return the ONES value FFFFFFFF meaning not found) and so the 
lookup of the corresponding output value with that index fails. We'd 
need the full ASL dump to know exactly what's going on there.

Thanks a lot for finding this out.  One of the two reports in bug 9320
seems to be the same problem although the other doesn't seem to be.  So,
it seems we'll have to check that both primary and secondary slots are
empty and skip _GTM if so.  :-(

Also, right, there's no need to fail suspend on _GTM failure whatever
the error is.  That was me being anal again.  Will incorporate both into
the ACPI fixes patchset.

Thanks.

A number of other people are seeing the same thing and Tejun is putting in
a blacklist of machines which cannot use libata+acpi.  That patch is not
yet in any git tree which I pull.

AFACIT the machines kepe working OK - there's just some nasty dmesg spew.

If any machines _are_ breaking then this could cause real problems and I'd
prefer that we either go for a whitelist or arrange to detect the condition
and fall back to non-acpi ata.

Does this report now win me the lucky draw, pretty please? ;)

STD regression rc1 -> rc234, suspend fails completely, recovering is
pretty much useless since HDD is DEAD from this point on anyway.
Managed to capture -rc2 suspend logging via still-alive ssh session.

2.6.24-rc1 suspend/resume log, successful (well, a couple seconds delay, most likely due to
well-recovered AML failure):

Again, 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-rc1 work, yet 2.6.24 -rc2, -rc3 and -rc4 FAIL.

Probably won't be able to do any reporting over the weekend (WOL is
inoperable ATM for some weird reason), let me know what you need.
Took too much time to gather this report already anyway ;)

Thanks,

nah, you have to cc the acpi guys to get a prize ;)

Len&co, could you please take a look?

Andreas, please do separately report that WOL problem too..

Please post full kernel boot log and the result of 'lspci -nn'.

Done, on #9530.

Will try some of the promising patches/suggestions now, hopefully this will
show me what's up. Will add further results there.

The pending patchset should make ATA ACPI quite resistant to failures.
Known bad boards can be blacklisted (currently only one is on the
list), ATA ACPI is disabled quicker if ACPI evalution fails, execution
errors are handled better and commands which are intended to help the
vendor instead of the user are filtered.  So, I think we have enough
safety nets.

Thanks.

Are you going to push it for 2.6.24?

Yeah, I'm hoping so.  Maybe command filtering should wait till 2.6.25
but the rest, yeap.
