IT821x: no DMA since 2.6.21

IT821x: no DMA since 2.6.21

Hi!

Since 2.6.21 I have a problem with the it821x driver on my ITE 8212
controller.
Now I saw some updates to it821x in 2.6.22-rc1 and gave that a try, but
the problem persists.

It seems that DMA is broken on it8212 somehow since the merge of
the it8213 driver.

dmesg shows some BUG DMA OFF:

------------------------>8-----------------------

Until 2.6.20 (since 2.6.10) the driver worked quite fine, but since
2.6.21 moving/copying files from/to any drive on the controller is 
a) really slow, 
b) music starts skipping, 
c) mouse stopps moving for short periods, 
and hdparm does not work anymore:

# hdparm -d1 /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Input/output error
 using_dma     =  0 (off)

This has not been a problem before. hdparm -tT showed something around
40MB/s for buffered reads, now it looks like this:

# hdparm -tT /dev/hde

/dev/hde:
 Timing cached reads:   356 MB in  2.01 seconds = 177.30 MB/sec
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Input/output
error 
 Timing buffered disk reads:   10 MB in  3.28 seconds =   3.05 MB/sec 
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Input/output
error

If there is more info needed, please tell me what. And please CC as I

Back on 2.6.20 - here is some output from the working driver.

There is actually no difference in dmesg:

hdparm version is 7.3.
DMA is enabled in the controller's BIOS, of course.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thomas

I've had multiple reports of this. I would recommend you use the libata
driver. IT821x hasn't changed over the past few releases so its someting
in the core IDE code that broke it [note it might not of course be that
the problem is in the core code..].

I have no plans at this point to debug the old IT821x driver due to time
constraints, and if anyone wants to have a crack at debugging this and
fixing it go for it.

BTW: I also note you have the controller in smart mode but are not using
the hardware raid functions. In that situation it generally runs faster
(and does CD-ROM) if you flash the ATAPI firmware to the controller or
boot with the noraid option "it8212.noraid=1"

Hi Alan,
thanks for the suggestion. 

I already tried pata_it821x and it failed to recognize the second
harddisk hdf. I use the controller only for additional harddrives, no
RAID, no cd-rom.

But I will try again. Maybe I just did something wrong then.

Thanks,
Thomas

Logs from that would be most helpful as I am maintaining the pata_it821x
driver.

Okay, I removed the IDE one and tried your libata driver again.

What I maybe just did wrong on my first try, was loading it without any
parameters, as:
--------------------------
pata_it821x: Unknown parameter `it8212.noraid'
pata_it821x: Unknown parameter `it8212_noraid'
--------------------------
Loading without any parameters on this kernel resulted in:
--------------------------
pata_it821x: controller in smart mode.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
scsi3 : pata_it821x

ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)

---------------------------

Now I tried with "noraid=1", and now all seems to be working fine.

Thanks very much!

The real problem seems to be that IT821x "virtual" ID misses info
about supported DMA modes (while it seems to contain enabled DMA
mode info).

This would be the logical explanation why the driver broke after:

    Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>


Bogus ide_dma_enable() usage in it821x.c + loosy check in ide_dma_verbose()
allowed the hardware to operate in DMA mode, when these bugs were fixed
DMA support broke...

It seems that somebody has already debugged this issue to
the aforementioned changes:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/14/110


Thomas, does the following patch against 2.6.22-rc1 fix the issue?

[ Patch is based on the above theory and Alan's work on pata_it821x.

Hi Bartlomiej,

yes, this patch completely fixes it. Looks very good now even.

So all those drive seek errors are gone too.
Hdparm does not complain anymore, speed is OK.
Nice, so I can get rid of libata again, as all other drives run with the
IDE layer too. 

Many thanks!

Shall I test it without "noraid=1" too?

Close but not really it, the it821x_fixup() was done after probe_hwif()
so IDE core code was using the original (incorrect) value of id->field_valid
(before "id->field_valid &= 1" fixup).

The rest of the problem analysis is still valid (DMA worked by pure luck
before Jens' fixes).

Please do, the main goal of the patch was to fix "RAID mode"
("noraid=1" should work fine also without the patch?).

Hi,

Seems I shot too quick, DMA in smart mode still does not work.
"noraid=1" also works without the patch, correct.

Improved patch - this time the issue should be fixed for good (I was
looking only at the RAID specific part of the fixups and I overlooked
the fact that the original code was clearing too much of id->field_valid),
there is now also an extra debugging printk to give us some more info.

Please give it a try.

[ recal_intr warning (which should be harmless) is not fixed by this
  patch because it is a different problem and requires some more work. ]

It does at least for the RAID volumes which are quite peculiar and seem
to have been defined by flipping bits until Windows worked 8)

Thanks for doing that. I've got a potential patch for libata and the
smart mode problem. Turns out that Tejun's sanity checks in the bus reset
path are too smart for the firmware ;)
