To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while
reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING
after reset but before RESET is marked done. As reset is the final
recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness
and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to
lost devices or missed hotplug events.
Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so
if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could
be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port
unresponsive to further hotplug events.
Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING. This problem is
reported by Bruce Stenning in the following thread.

Right at the moment, the libata error handler is incredibly
monolithic. This makes it impossible to use from composite drivers
like libsas and ipr which have to handle error themselves in the first
instance.
The essence of the change is to split the monolithic error handler
into two components: one which handles a queue of ata commands for
processing and the other which handles the back end of readying a
port. This allows the upper error handler fine grained control in
calling libsas functions (and making sure they only get called for ATA
commands whose lower errors have been fixed up).

The SCSI host eh_cmd_q should be protected by the host lock (not the
port lock). This probably doesn't matter that much at the moment,
since we try to serialise the add and eh pieces, but it might matter
in future for more convenient error handling. Plus this switches
libata to the standard eh pattern where you lock, remove from the cmd
queue to a local list and unlock and then operate on the local list.

ata_eh_analyze_serror() suppresses hotplug notifications if LPM is
being used because LPM generates spurious hotplug events. It compared
whether link->lpm_policy was different from ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER to
determine whether LPM is enabled; however, this is incorrect as for
drivers which don't implement LPM, lpm_policy is always
ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN. This disabled hotplug detection for all drivers
which don't implement LPM.
Fix it by comparing whether lpm_policy is greater than
ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER.

Low level drivers may behave differently depending on the current
link->lpm_policy. During ata_eh_set_lpm(), DIPM enable commands are
issued after the successful completion of ap->ops->set_lpm(), which
means that the controller is already in the target state. This causes
DIPM enable commands to be processed with mismatching controller power
state and link->lpm_policy value.
In ahci, link->lpm_policy is used to ignore certain PHY events if LPM
is enabled; however, as DIPM commands are issued with stale
link->lpm_policy, they sometimes end up triggering these conditions
and get aborted leading to LPM configuration failure.
Fix it by updating link->lpm_policy before issuing DIPM enable
commands.

In libata, the non-EH code paths should always take and release
ap->lock explicitly when accessing hardware or shared data structures.
However, once EH is active, it's assumed that the port is owned by EH
and EH methods don't explicitly take ap->lock unless race from irq
handler or other code paths are expected. However, libata EH didn't
guarantee exclusion among EHs for ports of the same host. IOW,
multiple EHs may execute in parallel on multiple ports of the same
controller.
In many cases, especially in SATA, the ports are completely
independent of each other and this doesn't cause problems; however,
there are cases where different ports share the same resource, which
lead to obscure timing related bugs such as the one fixed by commit
213373cf (ata_piix: fix locking around SIDPR access).
This patch implements exclusion among EHs of the same host. When EH
begins, it acquires per-host EH ownership by calling ata_eh_acquire().
When EH finishes, the ownership is released by calling
ata_eh_release(). EH ownership is also released whenever the EH
thread goes to sleep from ata_msleep() or explicitly and reacquired
after waking up.
This ensures that while EH is actively accessing the hardware, it has
exclusive access to it while allowing EHs to interleave and progress
in parallel as they hit waiting stages, which dominate the time spent
in EH. This achieves cross-port EH exclusion without pervasive and
fragile changes while still allowing parallel EH for the most part.

The current LPM implementation has the following issues.
* Operation order isn't well thought-out. e.g. HIPM should be
configured after IPM in SControl is properly configured. Not the
other way around.
* Suspend/resume paths call ata_lpm_enable/disable() which must only
be called from EH context directly. Also, ata_lpm_enable/disable()
were called whether LPM was in use or not.
* Implementation is per-port when it should be per-link. As a result,
it can't be used for controllers with slave links or PMP.
* LPM state isn't managed consistently. After a link reset for
whatever reason including suspend/resume the actual LPM state would
be reset leaving ap->lpm_policy inconsistent.
* Generic/driver-specific logic boundary isn't clear. Currently,
libahci has to mangle stuff which libata EH proper should be
handling. This makes the implementation unnecessarily complex and
fragile.
* Tied to ALPM. Doesn't consider DIPM only cases and doesn't check
whether the device allows HIPM.
* Error handling isn't implemented.
Given the extent of mismatch with the rest of libata, I don't think
trying to fix it piecewise makes much sense. This patch reimplements
LPM support.
* The new implementation is per-link. The target policy is still
port-wide (ap->target_lpm_policy) but all the mechanisms and states
are per-link and integrate well with the rest of link abstraction
and can work with slave and PMP links.
* Core EH has proper control of LPM state. LPM state is reconfigured
when and only when reconfiguration is necessary. It makes sure that
LPM state is reset when probing for new device on the link.
Controller agnostic logic is now implemented in libata EH proper and
driver implementation only has to deal with controller specifics.
* Proper error handling. LPM config failure is attributed to the
device on the link and LPM is disabled for the link if it fails
repeatedly.
* ops->enable/disable_pm() are replaced with single ops->set_lpm()
which takes @policy and @hints. This simplifies driver specific
implementation.

However, a failure may be classified as invalid through hardware

there isn't whole lot to gain by not retrying as actually invalid

If ATA device failed FLUSH, it means that the device failed to write
out some amount of data and the error needs to be reported to upper
layers. As retries can't recover the lost data, FLUSH failures need to
be reported immediately in general.
However, if FLUSH fails due to transmission errors, the FLUSH needs to
be retried; otherwise, filesystems may switch to RO mode and/or raid
array may drop a drive for a random transmission glitch.
This condition can be rather easily reproduced on certain ahci
controllers which go through a PHY event after powersave mode switch +
ext4 combination. Powersave mode switch is often closely followed by
flush from the filesystem failing the FLUSH with ATA bus error which
makes the filesystem code believe that data is lost and drop to RO

As PMP device doesn't have a regular IDENTIFY data, this makes

this ends up clearing dev->flags which may have ATA_DFLAG_AN set by

New device attach path in ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach() is divided
into two separate loops because ATA requires IDENTIFY to be issued to
slave first while the user expects to see device probe messages from
the master device. new_mask is used to track which devices are the
new ones between the first loop and the second.
This usually works well but if an error occurs during configuration
stage, ata_dev_revalidate_and_attach() returns with error code and
forgets new_mask. On the retry run, dev->class is set and new_mask
for the device is clear, so the device just gets revalidated and thus
ends up skipping post-configuration procedure including scheduling of
SCSI_HOTPLUG for the device. When this occurs, ATA part of probing
works fine but SCSI probing usually doesn't happen and makes the
device unreachable.
The behavior has been around for a very long time but it has been
uncovered with the recent addition of 1_5_GBPS horkage which uses
-EAGAIN return value from ata_dev_configure() to restart the probing
sequence after forcing cable speed.

When SCR access is available and the link is offline, softreset is
skipped as it only wastes time and some controllers don't respond very
well. However, the skip path forgot to thaw the port, which not only
blocks further event notification from the port but also causes
repeated EH invocations on the same event on drivers which rely on
->thaw() to clear events if the IRQ is shared with another device or
port.
This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv
nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR
access. nf2/3 doesn't clear hotplug event mask from the interrupt
handler but relies on ->thaw() to clear them. When the hardreset was
there, the reset action was never skipped and the port was always
thawed but, with the hardreset gone, ->prereset() determines that
there's no need for softreset and both ->softreset() and ->thaw() are
skipped. This leads to stuck hotplug event in the IRQ status register
triggering hotplug event whenever IRQ is delieverd on the same IRQ.
As the controller shares the same IRQ for both ports, this happens on
every IO if one port is occpupied and the other isn't.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the port is thawed on
reset-skip path.

This patch improves libata EH such that it remembers probing trials

As link speed negotiation is the duty of the PHY layer proper, the

This patch makes port detach behave more like other EH actions such
that ata_port_detach() requests EH to detach and waits for completion.

There currently are the following looping constructs.
* __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links
* ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links
* ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices
* ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order
Now there's a need for looping construct which is similar to
__ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host
link. Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following
cleanup.
* Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take
@mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop.
* Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take
looping mode explicitly.
The following iteration modes are implemented.
* ATA_LITER_EDGE : loop over edge links
* ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST : loop over all links, host link first
* ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST : loop over all links, PMP links first
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED : loop over enabled devices
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE : loop over enabled devices in reverse order
* ATA_DITER_ALL : loop over all devices
* ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE : loop over all devices in reverse order
This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops
and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.

ehc->last_reset is used to ensure that resets are not issued too
close to each other. It's initialized to jiffies minus one minute
on EH entry. However, when new links are initialized after PMP is
probed, new links have zero for this timestamp resulting in long wait
depending on the current jiffies.
This patch makes last_set considered iff ATA_EHI_DID_RESET is set, in
which case last_reset is always initialized. As an added precaution,
WARN_ON() is added so that warning is printed if last_reset is
in future.
This problem is spotted and debugged by Shane Huang.

libata EH saves xfer_mode and ncq_enabled at start to later set
DUBIOUS_XFER flag if it has changed. These values need to be cleared
on device detach such that hot device swap doesn't accidentally miss
DUBIOUS_XFER.

There were several places where only enabled devices should be
iterated over but device enabledness wasn't checked.
* IDENTIFY data 40 wire check in cable_is_40wire()
* xfer_mode/ncq_enabled saving in ata_scsi_error()
* DUBIOUS_XFER handling in ata_set_mode()
While at it, reformat comments in cable_is_40wire().

Reset methods don't have access to phys link status for slave links
and may incorrectly indicate device presence causing unnecessary probe
failures for unoccupied links. This patch clears device class to NONE
during post-reset processing if phys link is offline.
As on/offlineness semantics is strictly defined and used in multiple
places by the core layer, this won't change behavior for drivers which
don't use slave links.
