3e4ec3443f libata: kill ATA_FLAG_DISABLED
ATA_FLAG_DISABLED is only used by drivers which don't use
->error_handler framework and is largely broken.  Its only meaningful
function is to make irq handlers skip processing if the flag is set,
which is largely useless and even harmful as it makes those ports more
likely to cause IRQ storms.

Kill ATA_FLAG_DISABLED and makes the callers disable attached devices
instead.  ata_port_probe() and ata_port_disable() which manipulate the
flag are also killed.

This simplifies condition check in IRQ handlers.  While updating IRQ
handlers, remove ap NULL check as libata guarantees consecutive port
allocation (unoccupied ports are initialized with dummies) and
long-obsolete ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE check (checked by ata_qc_from_tag()).

c7a8209f76 libata-sff: kill unused prototype and make ata_dev_select() static
ata_irq_on() was renamed to ata_sff_irq_on() and exported a while ago
but prototype for the original function lingered in
drivers/ata/libata.h.  Kill it.  Also, ata_dev_select() is only used
inside drivers/ata/libata-sff.c.  Make it static.

2a7adff09a libata-sff: update bmdma host bus error handling
* Clearing IRQ from ata_sff_error_handler() is necessary only when the
  port is gonna be thawed before performing EH actions and some
  controllers don't like being accessed after certain failure modes
  until they're reset.  Clear IRQ iff the port is being thawed.

* When the controller succesfully indicated bus error, the point of
  thawing doesn't matter.  Move thawing inside bmdma part of EH.  This
  is a bit ugly but will ease code reorganization later.

* Remove the unneeded ata_sff_sync().

e42a542ba9 libata: make sff_irq_on() method optional
Now, with the introduction of the sff_set_devctl() method, we can
use it in sff_irq_on() method too -- that way its implementations
in 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' become virtually identical to
ata_sff_irq_on().  The sff_irq_on() method now becomes quite
superfluous, and the only reason not to remove it completely is
the existence of the 'pata_octeon_cf' driver which implements it
as an empty function. Just make the method optional then, with
ata_sff_irq_on() becoming generic taskfile-bound function, still
global for the 'pata_bf54x' driver to be able to call it from its
thaw() and postreset() methods.

While at it, make the sff_irq_on() method and ata_sff_irq_on() return
'void' as the result is always ignored anyway.

41dec29bcb libata: introduce sff_set_devctl() method
The set of libata's taskfile access methods is clearly incomplete as
it lacks a method to write to the device control register -- which
forces drivers like 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' to implement more
"high level" (and more weighty) methods like freeze() and postreset().

So, introduce the optional sff_set_devctl() method which the drivers
only have to implement if the standard iowrite8() can't be used (just
like the existing sff_check_altstatus() method) and make use of it
in the freeze() and postreset() method implementations (I could also
have used it in softreset() method but it also reads other taskfile
registers without using tf_read() making that quite pointless);
this makes freeze() method implementations in the 'pata_bf54x' and
'pata_scc' methods virtually identical to ata_sff_freeze(), so we
can get rid of them completely.

Add "em_buffer" attribute for SATA AHCI hosts to provide a way for
userland to access AHCI EM (enclosure management) buffer directly if the
host supports EM.

AHCI driver should support SGPIO EM messages. However the SATA/AHCI
specs did not define the SGPIO message format filled in EM buffer.
Different HW vendors may have different definitions. The mainly purpose
of this attribute is to solve this issue by allowing HW vendors to
provide userland drivers and tools for their SGPIO initiators.

b48d58f55a libata: use longer 0xff wait if parallel scan is enabled
There are some SATA devices which take relatively long to get out of
0xff status after reset.  In libata, this timeout is determined by
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT.  Quantum GoVault is the worst requring about 2s for
reliable detection.  However, because 2s 0xff timeout can introduce
rather long spurious delay during boot, libata has been compromising
at the next longest timeout of 800ms for HHD424020F7SV00 iVDR drive.

Now that parallel scan is in place for common drivers, libata can
afford 2s 0xff timeout.  Use 2s 0xff timeout if parallel scan is
enabled.

Please note that the chance of spurious wait is pretty slim w/ working
SCR access so this will only affect SATA controllers w/o SCR access
which isn't too common these days.

Please read the following thread for more information on the GoVault
drive.

4f2c774856 [libata] Disable R_OK (Early ACK) on SII 3726 PMP
In 2009, While running "cache read" performance test of drives behind
SII PMP we encountered a "all 5 drives" timeout on more than 30% of the
machines under test.  This patch reduces the rate by a factor of about 70.
Low enough that we didn't care to further investigate the issue.

Performance impact with any sort of "normal" use was ~2%+ CPU and less
than 1% throughput degradation.  Worst case impact (cached read) was
6% IOPS reduction. This is with NCQ off (q=1) but I believe FIS based
switching enabled in the SATA driver.

The patch disables "Early ACK" in the 3726 port multiplier.
"Early ACK" is issued when device sends a FIS to the host (via PMP)
and the PMP sends an ACK immediately back to the device - well before
the host gets the response. Under worst case IOPs load (cached read
test) and more than 2 PMPs connected to a 4-port SATA controller,
I suspect the time to service all of the PMPs is exceeding the PMPs
ability to keep track of outstanding FIS it owes the Host. Reducing
the number of PMPs to 2 (or 1) reduces the frequency by several orders
of magnitude. Kudos to Gwendal for initial debugging of this issue.
[Any errors in the description are mine, not his.]

Patch is currently in production on Google servers.

83f2b9630c ahci: implement AHCI_HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA and update NV quirks
It turns out different generations of MCPs have differing quirks.

* MCP 65-73 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support, forgets to report NCQ
* MCP 77-79 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support
* MCP 89    : FPDMA AA broken

Instead of turngin off FPDMA AA on all NVIDIAs, implement
HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA, define additional board IDs and apply necessary
quirks.

This fixes bko#15481 and the list of quirks is verified by Peer Chen.

ec569af858 pata_mpc52xx: reduce code size by simple change of constant data types
I've prepared a totally simple patch that, if I did it and measured it
correctly, reduces the text size as of the ppc-6xx-size command of
pata-mpc52xx by more than 10%, by reducing the rodata size from 0x4a4
to 0x17e bytes. This is simply done by changing the data types of the
ATA timing constants.

If you are interested at all, and it's worth the trouble, here the
details:

ppc-6xx-size:
     text data bss  dec  hex filename
old: 6532 1068   0 7600 1db0 pata-mpc52xx.o
new: 5718 1068   0 6786 1a82 pata-mpc52xx.o

The (assembler) code itself doesn't really change very much. I double
checked the final results inside mpc52xx-ata-apply-timings() and they
match. The driver is still working fine of course.

441577efa0 ahci: clean up board IDs
ahci over time has grown a number of board IDs and it's a bit of mess
right now.  Clean it up such that,

* board_id_* now live in a separate enum board_ids and numbers are
  assigned automatically.

* Board IDs assigned to features are separated from the ones assigned
  to specific implementations and both are ordered alphabetically.

* For NV MCPs, define per-generation alias board_ids and assign
  matching aliases in the pci id table.  This makes mcp_linux, 67-73
  use board_ahci_mcp65 instead of board_ahci_yesncq.  Both are
  identical in content.

* Kill now unused board_ahci_nopmp and board_ahci_yesncq.

This patch doesn't cause any functional change but will make future
changes to board_ids and quirks much less painful.

d89933497d ahci: Get rid of host->iomap usage
Currently the driver uses host->iomap to store all the iomapped BARs
of a PCI device (while AHCI devices actually use just a single memory
window).

We're going to teach AHCI to work with non-PCI buses, so there are two
options to make this work:

1. "fake" host->iomap array for non-PCI devices, and place the needed
   address at iomap[AHCI_PCI_BAR];
2. Get rid of host->iomap usage, instead introduce a private mmio
   field.

This patch implements the second option.

3dbc6fb6a3 inotify: clean up the inotify_add_watch out path
inotify_add_watch explictly frees the unused inode mark, but it can just
use the generic code.  Just do that.

4ae69e6b71 mmap_min_addr check CAP_SYS_RAWIO only for write
Redirecting directly to lsm, here's the patch discussed on lkml:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219

The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without
being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and
its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling
mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private
has no value.

Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

Comment from Serge :

  Me, I like to write my passwords with light blue pen on dark blue
  paper, pasted on my window - if you're going to get my password, you're
  gonna get a headache.

There is necessary to flush whole dcache. Icache work should be
done in kernel/module.c.
