libata: don't request sense data on !ZAC ATA devices

2019-07-26T07:12:43Z

[ Upstream commit ca156e006add67e4beea7896be395160735e09b0 ] ZAC support added sense data requesting on error for both ZAC and ATA devices. This seems to cause erratic error handling behaviors on some SSDs where the device reports sense data availability and then delivers the wrong content making EH take the wrong actions. The failure mode was sporadic on a LITE-ON ssd and couldn't be reliably reproduced. There is no value in requesting sense data from non-ZAC ATA devices while there's a significant risk of introducing EH misbehaviors which are difficult to reproduce and fix. Let's do the sense data dancing only for ZAC devices.

Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo: - libata has always been limiting the maximum queue depth to 31, with one entry set aside mostly for historical reasons. This didn't use to make much difference but Jens found out that modern hard drives can actually perform measurably better with the extra one queue depth.

libata: remove ata_scsi_timed_out

2018-05-29T14:47:40Z

As far as I can tell this function can't even be called any more, given that ATA implements its own eh_strategy_handler with ata_scsi_error, which never calls ->eh_timed_out. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

libata: add extra internal command

2018-05-11T20:10:44Z

Bump the internal tag to 32, instead of stealing the last tag in our regular command space. This works just fine, since we don't actually need a separate hardware tag for this. Internal commands cannot coexist with NCQ commands. As a bonus, we get rid of the special casing of what tag to use for the internal command. This is in preparation for utilizing all 32 commands for normal IO. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

libata: remove assumption that ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 is the max

libata: Fix command retry decision

2018-05-10T18:43:20Z

For failed commands with valid sense data (e.g. NCQ commands), scsi_check_sense() is used in ata_analyze_tf() to determine if the command can be retried. In such case, rely on this decision and ignore the command error mask based decision done in ata_worth_retry(). This fixes useless retries of commands such as unaligned writes on zoned disks (TYPE_ZAC). Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

libata: Honor RQF_QUIET flag

2018-05-10T18:43:20Z

Currently, libata ignores requests RQF_QUIET flag and print error messages for failed commands, regardless if this flag is set in the command request. Fix this by introducing the ata_eh_quiet() function and using this function in ata_eh_link_autopsy() to determine if the EH context should be quiet. This works by counting the number of failed commands and the number of commands with the quiet flag set. If both numbers are equal, the the EH context can be set to quiet and all error messages suppressed. Otherwise, only the error messages for the failed commands are suppressed and the link Emask and irq_stat messages printed.
