Tejun Heo b558edddb1 libata: kill ata_ehi_schedule_probe()
ata_ehi_schedule_probe() was created to hide details of link-resuming
reset magic.  Now that all the softreset workarounds are gone,
scheduling probe is very simple - set probe_mask and request RESET.
Kill ata_ehi_schedule_probe() and open code it.  This also increases
consistency as ata_ehi_schedule_probe() couldn't cover individual
device probings so they were open-coded even when the helper existed.

While at it, define ATA_ALL_DEVICES as mask of all possible devices on
a link and always use it when requesting probe on link level for
simplicity and consistency.  Setting extra bits in the probe_mask
doesn't hurt anybody.

Tejun Heo 672b2d65ba libata: kill ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK
ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK has two functions - promote reset to hardreset if
ATA_LFLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME is set and preventing EH from shortcutting
reset action when probing is requested.  The former is gone now and
the latter can easily be achieved by making EH to perform at least one
reset if reset is requested, which also makes more sense than
depending on RESUME_LINK flag.

As ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK was the only EHI reset modifier, this also
kills reset modifier handling.

Tejun Heo d692abd92f libata: kill ATA_LFLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME
Now that hardreset is the preferred method of resetting, there's no
need for ATA_LFLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME flag.  Kill it.

Tejun Heo cf48062658 libata: prefer hardreset
When both soft and hard resets are available, libata preferred
softreset till now.  The logic behind it was to be softer to devices;
however, this doesn't really help much.  Rationales for the change:

* BIOS may freeze lock certain things during boot and softreset can't
  unlock those.  This by itself is okay but during operation PHY event
  or other error conditions can trigger hardreset and the device may
  end up with different configuration.

  For example, after a hardreset, previously unlockable HPA can be
  unlocked resulting in different device size and thus revalidation
  failure.  Similar condition can occur during or after resume.

* Certain ATAPI devices require hardreset to recover after certain
  error conditions.  On PATA, this is done by issuing the DEVICE RESET
  command.  On SATA, COMRESET has equivalent effect.  The problem is
  that DEVICE RESET needs its own execution protocol.

  For SFF controllers with bare TF access, it can be easily
  implemented but more advanced controllers (e.g. ahci and sata_sil24)
  require specialized implementations.  Simply using hardreset solves
  the problem nicely.

* COMRESET initialization sequence is the norm in SATA land and many
  SATA devices don't work properly if only SRST is used.  For example,
  some PMPs behave this way and libata works around by always issuing
  hardreset if the host supports PMP.

  Like the above example, libata has developed a number of mechanisms
  aiming to promote softreset to hardreset if softreset is not going
  to work.  This approach is time consuming and error prone.

  Also, note that, dependingon how you read the specs, it could be
  argued that PMP fan-out ports require COMRESET to start operation.
  In fact, all the PMPs on the market except one don't work properly
  if COMRESET is not issued to fan-out ports after PMP reset.

* COMRESET is an integral part of SATA connection and any working
  device should be able to handle COMRESET properly.  After all, it's
  the way to signal hardreset during reboot.  This is the most used
  and recommended (at least by the ahci spec) method of resetting
  devices.

So, this patch makes libata prefer hardreset over softreset by making
the following changes.

* Rename ATA_EH_RESET_MASK to ATA_EH_RESET and use it whereever
  ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET used to be used.  ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET is
  now only used to tell prereset whether soft or hard reset will be
  issued.

* Strip out now unneeded promote-to-hardreset logics from
  ata_eh_reset(), ata_std_prereset(), sata_pmp_std_prereset() and
  other places.

This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer.
The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB
information when accessing PMP registers.

Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen
automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci).

One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48,
forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

Tejun Heo b06ce3e51e libata: use ata_exec_internal() for PMP register access
PMP registers used to be accessed with dedicated accessors ->pmp_read
and ->pmp_write.  During reset, those callbacks are called with the
port frozen so they should be able to run without depending on
interrupt delivery.  To achieve this, they were implemented polling.

However, as resetting the host port makes the PMP to isolate fan-out
ports until SError.X is cleared, resetting fan-out ports while port is
frozen doesn't buy much additional safety.

This patch updates libata PMP support such that PMP registers are
accessed using regular ata_exec_internal() mechanism and kills
->pmp_read/write() callbacks.  The following changes are made.

* PMP access helpers - sata_pmp_read_init_tf(), sata_pmp_read_val(),
  sata_pmp_write_init_tf() are folded into sata_pmp_read/write() which
  are now standalone PMP register access functions.

* sata_pmp_read/write() returns err_mask instead of rc.  This is
  consistent with other functions which issue internal commands and
  allows more detailed error reporting.

* ahci interrupt handler is modified to ignore BAD_PMP and
  spurious/illegal completion IRQs while reset is in progress.  These
  conditions are expected during reset.

Tejun Heo 3af9a77af9 libata-pmp: implement Port Multiplier support
Implement Port Multiplier support.  To support PMP, a LLDD has to
supply ops->pmp_read() and pmp_write().  If non-null, ->pmp_attach and
->pmp_detach are called on PMP attach and detach, respectively.

->pmp_read/write() can be called while the port is frozen, so they
must be implemented by polling.  This patch supplies several helpers
to ease ->pmp_read/write() implementation.

Also, irq_handler and error_handler must be PMP aware.  Most of PMP
aware EH can be done by calling ata_pmp_do_eh() with appropriate
methods.  PMP EH uses separate set of reset methods and this patch
implements standard prereset, hardreset and postreset methods.

This patch only implements PMP support.  The next patch will integrate
PMP into the reset of libata and thus enable PMP support.
