As supporting AN needs host interrupt handler change.  I think we need 
host-supports-AN flag; otherwise, we might end up with screaming 
interrupts in the worst case.

Quite so.  Lacking a host flag, we need to know how each and every 
controller behaves when AN is activated (and supported by the device). 
I'm willing to bet some of the first-gen SATA controllers' ASIC state 
machines croak when AN is activated.

[patch 2/3] libata: expose AN support to user space via sysfs

[Kristen Carlson Accardi]

Allow user space to determine if an ATAPI device supports
async notification (AN) of media changes.  This is done by
adding a new sysfs file "async_notification" to genhd.
If the file reads 1, then the device supports async 
notification.  If the file reads 0, it does not.  

A flag is set in the generic disk to indicate whether
or not AN is supported.  This flag is set by the SCSI
subsystem when it registers with add_disk.  The SCSI
system gets information from libata on whether the
device supports AN during dev_configure.

(added linux-scsi to CC)

Comments:

1) From a procedural standpoint, you'll want to separate this patch into 
three patches:  generic block layer stuff, SCSI stuff, and libata stuff.

2) I don't claim to be a sysfs expert, but this seems like a reasonable 
approach for reporting async-notification capabilities

3) I would make the contents of 'media_change_events' be a list of 
flags, rather than a boolean.  Thus, when AN is present, 
media_change_events would return "AN\n".  It would return "\n" (no 
flags) when AN is absent.  This permits future expansion of this 
capabilities reporting variable.

4) Figure out some place to document 'media_change_events', in 
Documentation/*

5) I think the method of delivery probably needs discussing, and some 
work.  Presumably the normal hotplug paths should be traversed for this 
sort of thing.

I'm not sure about this.  AN is kind of specific term for ATA while 
media change event is generic.  So, I think the original approach is 
okay.  No matter how the actual thing is implemented, it's the same 
media change event and as long as event delivery interface is the same, 
upper layer shouldn't care about how it's done.

Thanks.

AN is a generic concept that I feel will propagate elsewhere.

Though perhaps it should be in a 'capability_flags' file rather than a 
'media_change_event' file.

I think SCSI already has it or am I imagining things again?  :-)

IMHO, if it's genhd.capability_flags then the flag should be 
MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY not ASYNC_NOTIFICATION because AN itself doesn't 
imply any specific event.  It's just a notification mechanism, for ATAPI 
devices, it means media change, for PMP it has a different meaning, so I 
think we need to export the processed meaning not the specific mechanism 
to userland.

Thanks.

I'm not sure whether this should be in generic block layer or in libata 
proper.  libata sysfs hierarchy isn't there yet but is scheduled to be 
added soon.  Async notification of media change is generic event for any 
block device with removable media, so I guess it can belong to generic 
layer.  BTW, I think you also need to forward the flag in sd - disk 
device can be removable too.  And please cc linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org 
to get SCSI part reviewed.

Thanks.

[patch 3/3] libata: handle AN interrupt

[Kristen Carlson Accardi]

When we get an SDB FIS with the 'N' bit set, we should send
an event to user space to indicate that there has been a
media change.  The ahci host controller will send the
event via KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.

I don't think this is right.  If you're gonna make media_change_event 
capability generic, you gotta make event delivery generic too.  You can 
make it a genhd event and make genhd supply the interface function, say, 
genhd_notify_media_change() which is then forwarded by SCSI layer.

Thanks.
