565083e1f1 [PATCH] libata: consider disabled devices in ata_dev_xfermask()
ata_bus_probe() now marks failed devices properly and leaves
meaningful transfer mode masks.  This patch makes ata_dev_xfermask()
consider disable devices when determining PIO mode to avoid violating
device selection timing.

While at it, move port-wide resttriction out of device iteration loop
and try to make the function look a bit prettier.

14d2bac187 [PATCH] libata: improve ata_bus_probe()
Improve ata_bus_probe() such that configuration failures are handled
better.  Each device is given ATA_PROBE_MAX_TRIES chances, but any
non-transient error (revalidation failure with -ENODEV, configuration
failure with -EINVAL...) disables the device directly.  Any IO error
results in SATA PHY speed down and ata_set_mode() failure lowers
transfer mode.  The last try always puts a device into PIO-0.

After each failure, the whole port is reset to make sure that the
controller and all the devices are in a known and stable state.  The
reset also applies SATA SPD configuration if necessary.

Implement ata_down_xfermask_limit().  This function manipulates

1c3fae4d7e [PATCH] libata: implement ap->sata_spd_limit and helpers
ap->sata_spd_limit contrains SATA PHY speed of the port.  It is
initialized to the configured value prior to probing thus preserving
BIOS configured value.  hardreset is responsible for applying SPD
limit and sata_std_hardreset() is updated to do that.  SATA SPD limit
will be used to enhance failure handling during probing and later by
EH.

This patch also normalizes some comments around affected code.

e82cbdb9a3 [PATCH] libata: don't disable devices from ata_set_mode()
When ata_set_mode() fails on a device, make ata_set_mode() return
error code and pointer to the device instead of disabling it directly.
This gives more control to higher level driving logic.

This patch does not change the end result (configured transfer mode)
although it may make libata repeat mode configuration to the peer of a
failing device.  Later ata_bus_probe() rewrite will make full use of
this change.

9b41046cd0 [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).

And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().

	start_kernel()
		-> parse_args()
			-> unknown_bootoption()
				-> obsolete_checksetup()

If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.

If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func().  If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].

Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

63af2a5c59 [PATCH] sata_mv: three bug fixes
(1) A DMA transfer size of 0x10000 was not being written
as 0x0000 in the PRDs.  Fixed.

(1) The DEV_IRQ interrupt cause bit happens spuriously
during EDMA operation, and was not being ignored by the driver.
This led to various "drive busy" errors being reported,
with associated unpredictable behaviour.  Fixed.

(2) If a SATA or PCI interrupt was received with no outstanding
command, the interrupt handler still attempted to invoke
ata_qc_complete(), triggering assert()/BUG_ON() behaviour
elsewhere in libata.  Fixed.

The driver still has issues with confusion after error-recovery,
but should now  be reliable in the absence of drive errors.
I will be looking more into the error-handling bugs next.

5444a6f405 [PATCH] libata: Simplex and other mode filtering logic
Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed
to suit Jeff)
Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel
Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes
Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode
Filter according to simplex state
Filter cable in core

This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.

Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.

4e5ec5dba2 [PATCH] libata: BMDMA handling updates
This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with
a controller following SFF (ie any PATA and early SATA controllers)
safely without crashes if there is no BMDMA area or if BMDMA is not
assigned by the BIOS for some reason.

Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't
a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex
hardware. A following diff will deal with that.

The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff
asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual
Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not
compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this
later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.

board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also

_machine.

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

93d2341c75 [PATCH] mempool: use mempool_create_slab_pool()
Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool()
rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30
lines of code and increasing readability.

0eaae62aba [PATCH] mempool: use common mempool kmalloc allocator
This patch changes several mempool users, all of which are basically just
wrappers around kmalloc(), to use the common mempool_kmalloc/kfree, rather
than their own wrapper function, removing a bunch of duplicated code.

8d3b33f67f [PATCH] Remove MODULE_PARM
MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as
unused.  It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the
most unloved drivers anyway.

Add FIXME above ata_dev_xfermask noting that the current
implementation limits all transfer modes to the fastest of the slowest
device on a port which isn't necessary.

aec5c3c1a9 [PATCH] libata: kill E.D.D.
E.D.D. has no user in-tree and mostly useless.  Kill it.  For possible
out-of-tree users, add a nice warning message and error handling if
LLDD doesn't report any useable reset mechanism (and thus tries to use
E.D.D.).
