Revert "libata: Implement NCQ autosense"

2015-08-03T16:01:54Z

This reverts commit 42b966fbf35da9c87f08d98f9b8978edf9e717cf. As implemented, ACS-4 sense reporting for ATA devices bypasses error diagnosis and handling in libata degrading EH behavior significantly. Revert the related changes for now.

libata-eh: Set 'information' field for autosense

2015-03-27T15:59:22Z

If NCQ autosense or the sense data reporting feature is enabled the LBA of the offending command should be stored in the sense data 'information' field. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

libata: Implement NCQ autosense

2015-03-27T15:59:22Z

Some newer devices support NCQ autosense (cf ACS-4), so we should be using it to retrieve the sense code and speed up recovery. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Merge branch 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-02-12T22:30:53Z

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe: "This contains: - The 4k/partition fixes for brd from Boaz/Matthew. - A few xen front/back block fixes from David Vrabel and Roger Pau Monne. - Floppy changes from Takashi, cleaning the device file creation. - Switching libata to use the new blk-mq tagging policy, removing code (and a suboptimal implementation) from libata. This will throw you a merge conflict, since a bug in the original libata tagging code was fixed since this code was branched. Trivial. From Shaohua. - Conversion of loop to blk-mq, from Ming Lei. - Cleanup of the io_schedule() handling in bsg from Peter Zijlstra. He claims it improves on unreadable code, which will cost him a beer. - Maintainer update or NDB, now handled by Markus Pargmann. - NVMe: - Optimization from me that avoids a kmalloc/kfree per IO for smaller (<= 8KB) IO. This cuts about 1% of high IOPS CPU overhead. - Removal of (now) dead RCU code, a relic from before NVMe was converted to blk-mq" * 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: xen-blkback: default to X86_32 ABI on x86 xen-blkfront: fix accounting of reqs when migrating xen-blkback,xen-blkfront: add myself as maintainer block: Simplify bsg complete all floppy: Avoid manual call of device_create_file() NVMe: avoid kmalloc/kfree for smaller IO MAINTAINERS: Update NBD maintainer libata: make sata_sil24 use fifo tag allocator libata: move sas ata tag allocation to libata-scsi.c libata: use blk taging NVMe: within nvme_free_queues(), delete RCU sychro/deferred free null_blk: suppress invalid partition info brd: Request from fdisk 4k alignment brd: Fix all partitions BUGs axonram: Fix bug in direct_access loop: add blk-mq.h include block: loop: don't handle REQ_FUA explicitly block: loop: introduce lo_discard() and lo_req_flush() block: loop: say goodby to bio block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq

libata: move sas ata tag allocation to libata-scsi.c

2015-01-25T00:09:47Z

Basically move the sas ata tag allocation to libata-scsi.c to make it clear these staffs are just for sas. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

libata: use blk taging

2015-01-23T21:19:04Z

libata uses its own tag management which is duplication and the implementation is poor. And if we switch to blk-mq, tag is build-in. It's time to switch to generic taging. The SAS driver has its own tag management, and looks we can't directly map the host controler tag to SATA tag. So I just bypassed the SAS case. I changed the code/variable name for the tag management of libata to make it self contained. Only sas will use it. Later if libsas implements its tag management, the tag management code in libata can be deleted easily.

ata: libata-core: Remove unused function

2015-01-11T16:51:50Z

Remove the function ata_do_simple_cmd() that is not used anywhere. This was partially found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck. Signed-off-by: Rickard Strandqvist Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

scsi: use 64-bit LUNs

2014-07-17T20:07:37Z

The SCSI standard defines 64-bit values for LUNs, and large arrays employing large or hierarchical LUN numbers become more and more common. So update the linux SCSI stack to use 64-bit LUN numbers.

ATA / ACPI: remove power dependent device handling

2013-10-17T13:38:53Z

Previously, we wanted SCSI devices corrsponding to ATA devices to be runtime resumed when the power resource for those ATA device was turned on by some other device, so we added the SCSI device to the dependent device list of the ATA device's ACPI node. However, this code has no effect after commit 41863fc (ACPI / power: Drop automaitc resume of power resource dependent devices) and the mechanism it was supposed to implement is regarded as a bad idea now, so drop it.
