      sata_mv: Properly initialize main irq mask · 5d0fb2e7
      Thomas Reitmayr authored 
      I noticed that during initialization sata_mv.c assumes that the main
interrupt mask has its default value of 0. The function
mv_platform_probe(..) initializes a shadow irq mask with 0 assuming
that's the value of the controller's register. Now
mv_set_main_irq_mask(..) only writes the controller's register if the
new value differs from the "shadowed" value. This is fatal when trying
to disable all interrupts in mv_init_host(..), i.e. the following
function call does not write anything to the main irq mask register:

  mv_set_main_irq_mask(host, ~0, 0);

The effect I see on my machine (QNAP TS-109 II) with booting via kexec
(with Linux as a 2nd-stage boot loader) is that if the sata_mv module
was still loaded when performing kexec, then the new kernel's sata_mv
module starts up with interrupts enabled. This results in an unhandled
IRQ and breaks the boot process.

The unhandled interrupt itself might also be fixed by Lennert's patch
proposed at http://markmail.org/message/kwvzxstnlsa3s26w which I did not
try yet.

However I still propose to additionally initialize the shadow variable
with the current contents of the main irq mask register to get both in
sync and allow proper disabling the main irq mask. This fixes the
unhandled irq on my machine.

      sata_mv: don't read hc_irq_cause · cae6edc3
      Mark Lord authored 
      Remove silly read-modify-write sequences when clearing interrupts
in hc_irq_cause.  This gets rid of unneeded MMIO reads, resulting in
a slight performance boost when switching between EDMA and non-EDMA
modes (eg. for cache flushes).

      sata_mv: fix 8-port timeouts on 508x/6081 chips · b0bccb18
      Mark Lord authored 
      Fix a longstanding bug for the 8-port Marvell Sata controllers (508x/6081),
where accesses to the upper 4 ports would cause lost-interrupts / timeouts
for the lower 4-ports.  With this patch, the 6081 boards should finally be
reliable enough for mainstream use with Linux.

      sata_nv: fix MCP5x reset · 2d775708
      Tejun Heo authored 
      MCP5x family of controllers seem to share much more with nf2's as far
as reset protocol is concerned.  It requires heardreset to get the PHY
going and classfication code report after hardreset is unreliable.
Create a new board type MCP5x and use noclassify hardreset.  SWNCQ is
modified to inherit from this new type.

This fixes hotplug regression reported in kernel bz#12351.

      libata: set NODEV_HINT for 0x7f status · b919930c
      Tejun Heo authored 
      Asus Pundit-R with atiixp controller has the second port missing and,
very unusually, its status is stuck at 0x7f and all others at 0.  This
meanst that it fails TF access test but gets detected as a disk due to
classification code check and then evades polling IDENTIFY presence
detection thanks to the missing BSY in the status value causing
excessive delays during boot.

This patch makes libata-sff HSM set NODEV_HINT if the status is 0x7f
to make polling IDENTIFY presence detection work for these machines.
