      libata: use ULONG_MAX to terminate reset timeout table · d8af0eb6
      Tejun Heo authored
      This doesn't introduce any functional changes.  This is to make reset
      timeout table consistent with to-be-added command timeout tables.

      libata: improve EH retry delay handling · 0a2c0f56
      Tejun Heo authored
      EH retries were delayed by 5 seconds to ensure that resets don't occur
      back-to-back.  However, this 5 second delay is superflous or excessive
      in many cases.  For example, after IDENTIFY times out, there's no
      reason to wait five more seconds before retrying.
      
      This patch adds ehc->last_reset timestamp and record the timestamp for
      the last reset trial or success and uses it to space resets by
      ATA_EH_RESET_COOL_DOWN which is 5 secs and removes unconditional 5 sec
      sleeps.
      
      As this change makes inter-try waits often shorter and they're
      redundant in nature, this patch also removes the "retrying..."
      messages.
      
      While at it, convert explicit rounding up division to DIV_ROUND_UP().
      
      This change speeds up EH in many cases w/o sacrificing robustness.

      libata: consistently use msecs for time durations · 341c2c95
      Tejun Heo authored
      libata has been using mix of jiffies and msecs for time druations.
      This is getting confusing.  As writing sub HZ values in jiffies is
      PITA and msecs_to_jiffies() can't be used as initializer, unify unit
      for all time durations to msecs.  So, durations are in msecs and
      deadlines are in jiffies.  ata_deadline() is added to compute deadline
      from a start time and duration in msecs.
      
      While at it, drop now superflous _msec suffix from arguments and
      rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time
      rather than duration.
