libata: add refcounting to ata_host

2018-03-13T20:29:10+00:00

After commit 9a6d6a2ddabb ("ata: make ata port as parent device of scsi
host") manual driver unbind/remove causes use-after-free.

Unbind unconditionally invokes devres_release_all() which calls
ata_host_release() and frees ata_host/ata_port memory while it is still
being referenced as a parent of SCSI host. When SCSI host is finally
released scsi_host_dev_release() calls put_device(parent) and accesses
freed ata_port memory.

Add reference counting to make sure that ata_host lives long enough.

libata: Add new med_power_with_dipm link_power_management_policy setting

2017-09-19T03:22:04+00:00

As described by Matthew Garret quite a while back:
https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/34868.html

Intel CPUs starting with the Haswell generation need SATA links to power
down for the "package" part of the CPU to reach low power-states like
PC7 / P8 which bring a significant power-saving with them.

The default max_performance lpm policy does not allow for these high
PC states, both the medium_power and min_power policies do allow this.

The min_power policy saves significantly more power, but there are some
reports of some disks / SSDs not liking min_power leading to system
crashes and in some cases even data corruption has been reported.

Matthew has found a document documenting the default settings of
Intel's IRST Windows driver with which most laptops ship:
https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/dam/doc/reference-guide/sata-devices-implementation-recommendations.pdf

Matthew wrote a patch changing med_power to match those defaults, but
that never got anywhere as some people where reporting issues with the
patch-set that patch was a part of.

This commit is another attempt to make the default IRST driver settings
available under Linux, but instead of changing medium_power and
potentially introducing regressions, this commit adds a new
med_power_with_dipm setting which is identical to the existing
medium_power accept that it enables dipm on top, which makes it match
the Windows IRST driver settings, which should hopefully be safe to
use on most devices.

The med_power_with_dipm setting is close to min_power, except that:
a) It does not use host-initiated slumber mode (ASP not set),
   but it does allow device-initiated slumber
b) It does not enable DevSlp mode

On my T440s test laptop I get the following power savings when idle:
medium_power		0.9W
med_power_with_dipm	1.2W
min_power		1.2W

libata: Cleanup ata_read_log_page()

2017-07-10T17:41:04+00:00

The warning message "READ LOG DMA EXT failed, trying unqueued" in
ata_read_log_page() as well as the macro name ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_LOG
are confusing: the command READ LOG DMA EXT is not an queued NCQ command
unless it is encapsulated in a RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED command.
From ACS-4 READ LOG DMA EXT description:

"The device processes the READ LOG DMA EXT command in the NCQ feature
set environment (see 4.13.6) if the READ LOG DMA EXT command is
encapsulated in a RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED command (see 7.30) with the
inputs encapsulated as shown in 7.23.6."

To avoid confusion, fix the warning messsage to mention switching to PIO and
not "unqueued" and rename the macro ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_LOG to
ATA_HORKAGE_NO_DMA_LOG.

scsi: remove eh_timed_out methods in the transport template

2017-02-07T00:10:03+00:00

Instead define the timeout behavior purely based on the host_template
eh_timed_out method and wire up the existing transport implementations
in the host templates.  This also clears up the confusion that the
transport template method overrides the host template one, so some
drivers have to re-override the transport template one.

ata: ATA Command Priority Disabled By Default

Add a sysfs entry to turn on priority information being passed
to a ATA device. By default this feature is turned off.

This patch depends on ata: Enabling ATA Command Priorities

ata: Enabling ATA Command Priorities

2016-10-19T18:34:36+00:00

This patch checks to see if an ATA device supports NCQ command priorities.
If so and the user has specified an iocontext that indicates
IO_PRIO_CLASS_RT then we build a tf with a high priority command.

This is done to improve the tail latency of commands that are high
priority by passing priority to the device.

tj: Removed trivial ata_ncq_prio_enabled() and open-coded the test.
