ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x100),ata2.00: disabled, CD-ROM drive dead

[Stan Hoeppner]

dmesg:
ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x100)
ata2.00: disabled

hardware:
WD 500GB SATA on PCI Sil 3512 card (boot device)
Pioneer CD-ROM on PIIX4

kernel.org vanilla sources
2.6.31.1
2.6.32.9

Upon upgrading to 2.6.32.9 my CD-ROM is now dead.

With 2.6.31.1 I was using the libata driver along with the old style IDE
driver PIIX4 and both the HD and CD-ROM worked fine.

When I rolled the new 2.6.32.9 kernel, I decided to go all libata, thus
removing all the old IDE stuff in make menuconfig, and adding the PIIX4
support in the libata section along with SCSI CD-ROM support in the SCSI
section, per instructions I'd found.

Relevant .config snippets:
# Protocols
CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y
CONFIG_HAVE_IDE=y
# CONFIG_IDE is not set

# SCSI device support
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y

# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m

# SCSI Transports
CONFIG_ATA=y
CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR=y
CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_SATA_SIL=y

I always roll my drivers into the kernel.  It's just my preference, so let's
please not debate the merits of kernel modules in this thread.  I only
mention it as menuconfig for some odd reason doesn't give me the option to
roll CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN into the kernel, but insists on making it a
module.  The one exception to this, apparently, is if I completely disable
module support, in which case it rolls it into the kernel.  It would be nice
if menuconfig gave an option to force it into the kernel even if module
support is enabled.  Seems silly to have all the SCSI stuff built into the
kernel except this one thing.  I don't think this is related to the current
problem, but I mention it just in case.  I'm not sure if the module is
actually loading.   This probably is not the right name to give modprobe but
I don't know what it would be:

~$ modprobe CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN
FATAL: Module CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN not found.

Anyway, should I roll another 2.6.32.9 reverting back to the dual IDE/libata
driver setup to get the CD-ROM working again, or is there some neat trick
you fine folks can share that will force libata to start playing nice with
PIIX4 and the CD-ROM?

Thanks.

Can you post the full dmesg output from bootup?

AC_ERR_OTHER on SETXFER, that's rare.  Maybe the drive needs
ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER?  Can you please post boot log with ide driver?

Thanks.

Hello Tejun,

Here is the relevant dmesg output for my kernel with the PIIX IDE driver:

Linux version 2.6.32.9 (root@greer) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) )

I must admit the CD-ROM drive is rather old, a late 90's model slot loading
Pioneer drive, but it works fine with the PIIX IDE driver.  If it is needed
for success under libata, where would I set ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER?

I have no problem continuing to use the PIIX IDE driver, but I understand
all of the old IDE drivers are or will be deprecated in the not to distant
future.  This is why I tried to get the drive working under libata.

Thanks.

Hello,

If you are going to try to skip SETXFER, I think you will need an entry in
ata_device_blacklist, something like this.

I tried this but it doesn't work:

The old IDE subsystem and piix.c combo set the xfer mode on this CD-ROM
drive just fine, and the drive works fine.  Both this IDE chip and the
CD-ROM drive are well over 10 years old, from around 1998/99 time frame.  I
would think their behavior would be well understood by now.  The libata and
ata_piix combo seem to have a problem here.  I guess that's why they are
labeled 'experimental' in menuconfig.  Let me know what else I can do to
help this along.  IIRC, the goal is to completely eliminate the old IDE
subsystem in favor of libata.  I'm guessing that can't happen until issues
such as this case are resolved.

Yeah, NOSETXFER doesn't take effect on PATA drives. It could, but it 
would assume that the BIOS has set the right mode which seems rather 
dangerous.

Shouldn't we be getting some error handling output from the command failing?

They're not anymore, actually.

Well, we can issue the command, ignore the error and then check the
correct mode is configured during revalidation.  For now, the
following should show us whether something like that would work.

I'm still using 2.6.32.9.  Is it ok to apply this against 2.6.32.9?

Yeah, that part hasn't changed lately so it should be okay.

Oh, and do I need to keep the black list entry or get rid of it?

It doesn't matter.  It has no effect anyway.

This patch seems to have done the trick Tejun.  Thank you.  Device mount and
read access seem to be slower than with the IDE driver.  But given how
little I use the CD-ROM drive this initial impression may not accurately
describe reality.  Here's relevant dmesg entries from the patched kernel:

scsi0 : ata_piix
scsi1 : ata_piix
ata1: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xf000 irq 14
ata2: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xf008 irq 15
ata1: port disabled. ignoring.
ata2.00: ATAPI: Pioneer CD-ROM ATAPI Model DR-A24X  0102, E1.02, max MWDMA2

Thanks.
