http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8587 has a similar
report: it lists 2.6.22-rc3-git7 as OK but 2.6.22-rc4 as broken.

I can easily reproduce the problem in 2.6.22-rc4. There are no
sata_promise changes between rc3 and rc4, but Tejun's libata
polling SETXFER change was included in rc4. Reverting it makes
sata_promise work again for me.

I suspect that sata_promise.c:pdc_interrupt() should detect
a qc w/ ATA_TFLAG_POLLING, treat the interrupt as spurious,
and just call ata_chk_status(qc), similar to how sata_inic162x.c,
sata_nv.c, sata_sil.c, and sata_vsc.c do things.

Yes, highly likely.

SFF-like controllers (and in this case, Promise is included in that
list) with their own interrupt handlers need their own polling handling
code.

Reverting Tejun's patch also fixed my boot failure.

The problem is that the controller can't be initialized properly, so

One thing I don't understand is why IDENTIFY works.  IDENTIFY uses

[REPOST PATCH] sata_promise: use TF interface for polling NODATA commands

[Tejun Heo]

sata_promise uses two different command modes - packet and TF.  Packet
mode is intelligent low-overhead mode while TF is the same old
taskfile interface.  As with other advanced interface (ahci/sil24),
ATA_TFLAG_POLLING has no effect in packet mode.  However, PIO commands
are issued using TF interface in polling mode, so pdc_interrupt()
considers interrupts spurious if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.

This is broken for polling NODATA commands because command is issued
using packet mode but the interrupt handler ignores it due to
ATA_TFLAG_POLLING.  Fix pdc_qc_issue_prot() such that ATA/ATAPI NODATA
commands are issued using TF interface if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.

This patch fixes detection failure introduced by polling SETXFERMODE.

Re: [REPOST PATCH] sata_promise: use TF interface for polling NODATA commands

[Jeff Garzik]

FYI to all -- 

As a reminder. the Promise hardware programs registers when it receives
a SET FEATURES - XFER MODE.

If data transfer is occurring on OTHER ports at the time this is issued,
then data corruption is guaranteed to occur.  Polling will not fix this
problem -- all ports need to be inactive, when a SET FEATURES - XFER
MODE command is issued for any port.

Just to expand...  this problem doesn't really affect a lot of users in
the majority case, since we do speed tuning before data transfer starts.

The main problem that remains is the rare (but no less important) case
where libata-EH will tune speed during operation in respond to certain
classes of errors.

I added the below to my next batch:


From: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

sata_promise uses two different command modes - packet and TF.  Packet mode
is intelligent low-overhead mode while TF is the same old taskfile
interface.  As with other advanced interface (ahci/sil24),
ATA_TFLAG_POLLING has no effect in packet mode.  However, PIO commands are
issued using TF interface in polling mode, so pdc_interrupt() considers
interrupts spurious if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.

This is broken for polling NODATA commands because command is issued using
packet mode but the interrupt handler ignores it due to ATA_TFLAG_POLLING. 
Fix pdc_qc_issue_prot() such that ATA/ATAPI NODATA commands are issued
using TF interface if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.

I tried it and it didn't work. The qc:s never got completed, so
they timed out and the ports got disabled.

Calling pdc_host_intr() instead, which calls ata_qc_complete(),
did work (see hack below). However, this means that pdc_interrupt()
should ignore ATA_TFLAG_POLLING, which seems strange and unsafe.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe pdc_interrupt()'s clearing of
PDC_INT_SEQMASK also affects whatever legacy ATA status bit libata
is polling to detect completion of the qc?

SETXFER is special: Promise chips snoop the commands and automatically
update internal timing registers when they see XFER MODE changes. They
may be hardwired to raise interrupts after these commands.

Linux 2.6.22-rc4

[Linus Torvalds]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 20420 bytes --]


So -rc4 is out there now, hopefully shrinking the regression list further. 

The diffstat (for those that look at those kinds of things) tells the 
story: lots of small stuff to random files. I think the single biggest 
file change was the patch-checking script, along with some sparc64 fixes. 
But the bulk of it all is just a lot of small random things.

Shortlog appended to give kind of an overview, nothing really stands out 
there. Mostly driver fixes, with some architecture updates.

I'd ask that people involved with the known regressions please test 
whether they got fixed, and if you wrote a patch and it's still pending, 
please make sure to push it upstream..

[Tejun, Jeff, added you since the bisect points to your patch.]

Sorry, mail glitch means I lost a couple of emails...

I said:
Compile warnings and a new regression: hang on boot during sata_promise
detection...

It turns out that the hang times out; it does boot after a while. It's missing 4
of my SATA disks though.
[in turn this means I can't test the hibernate regression against -rc4. But
testing that regression against a862b5c8cd5d847779a049a5fc8cf5b1e6f5fa07 shows
it is still there. Do I get a bonus for finding 2 regressions?]]

I also bisected and got:

Please give us some details about your sata_promise problem:
- describe your hardware (Promise chip version, mainboard, chipset, etc)
I have a Promise TX-4 and onboard via-sata.

- which was the last kernel version prior to 2.6.22-rc4 that worked
2.6.22-rc3
- the kernel messages up to the hang, if you can capture them
Easier once I learned patience...
