[PATCH] libata-pmp: add schedule timeout to support some PMP cards

[PATCH] libata-pmp: add schedule timeout to support some PMP cards

[r66093]

From: Jerry Huang <r66093freescale.com>

With Freescale SATA controller, some PMP cards(e.g JMB393 PMP card)
can't work on some platforms (e.g mpc837x, p1022):
During PMP initialize, when reading the PMP SCR, we will observe the TIMEOUT
error because PMP card SCR is not ready.
Therefore, we need enough time to wait for the PMP card ready for SCR read:
1. read the SCR after 1ms sleep,
2. if failed, looping until read success or timeout (count = 0)

below is the error log:

Ummm... We can't really issue commands after failure without going
through recovery.  For ahci, it probably works.  For other
controllers, it may not.  Where does this delay come from?  Is there
any other way to wait for device readiness?

Thanks.

It is very bad. 
I have two PMP cards, one (5 ports) can work well without the delay time before reading PMP SCR, but the other (15 ports) must delay enough time before reading the PMP SCR.
It seems there is no other way to detect the device readiness.

Maybe I will just delay some time before send SCR command, if it failed, then we will report this error to driver?

Thanks and Best Regards

Hmmm... I'm curious what's causing the problem.  Which port multiplier
are we talking about?  If it's specific to that PMP, we can add quirk
to support it.  Does the problem also happen when the PMP is connected
to a different controller?

Thanks.

Hi,
The PMP card we are talking about is JMB393:
Port Multiplier 1.2, 0x197b:0x0325 r0, 15 ports, feat 0x5/0xf.

This issue is observed on Freescale's Sata controller, including p1020e and mpc837xe.

Can you please try different combinations?  ie. freescale sata + other
PMP and jmb393 + other sata controllers.  We need to know more before
adding workarounds to upstream.  Also, would you mind if I cc jmicron
ppl?

Thank you.

I'm late tuning in here, but I have a JMB393 doorstop here
and would love to have it actually work with Linux.
It fails with all of my sata_sil, sata_sil24 and AHCI (including JMB) controllers.

What's the patch that I need to test ?

Found it, tried it, still have a Linux doorstop.
Works fine under that other O/S though.

That’s a bad news. I think we need one workaround to fix it.
I tested the other two PMP cards, they work well on Freescale's board:
Port Multiplier 1.1, 0x1095:0x4726 r31, 7 ports, feat 0x1/0x9 (Silicon Image)
Port Multiplier 1.2, 0x197b:0x0321 r0, 5 ports, feat 0x5/0xf (JMB391)

No worries -- I'm just trying to get my JMB PMP to work on x86.
Your patch may still be good and necessary for Freescale; dunno.

RE: [PATCH] libata-pmp: add schedule timeout to support some PMP cards

[Huang Changming-R66093]

Hi, have you any feedback about your PMP cards?

Now I must send out the patch to support the JMP393 PMP card.
Maybe I will simply to delay the enough time for PMP SCR as the below:

set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule_timeout(msecs_to_jiffies(50)); /* sleep 50 msecond */

err_mask = sata_pmp_read(link, reg, r_val);

[Huang Changming-R66093]

Or maybe I can add this PID/VID to the sata_pmp_quircks,
Before sata_pmp_read, driver will check this flag to decide if delay the time.

That’s a bad news. I think we need one workaround to fix it.
I tested the other two PMP cards, they work well on Freescale's board:
Port Multiplier 1.1, 0x1095:0x4726 r31, 7 ports, feat 0x1/0x9 (Silicon Image)
Port Multiplier 1.2, 0x197b:0x0321 r0, 5 ports, feat 0x5/0xf (JMB391)
