RESEND: [PATCH] libata-sff: Fix oops reported in kerneloops.org forpnp devices with no ctl

From: Alan Cox
Date: Thu May 29 2008 - 12:40:15 EST


(Jeff would you please take a look at this: Its #4 or #5 top OOPS on Arjan's
oops tracker, and it generally causes the boot to fail. First sent 20th May)

From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxx>

This fixes most common oops #5 on Arjan's kerneloops.org site

Not all controllers have ctl/altstatus. In particular many ISAPnP controllers
omit them. While libata should handle this it generally only got the ctl port
(the write side) correct.

Functions
- ata_sff_maybe_altstatus - this uses the status if altstatus is not available.
In the longer term I believe each use of it is in fact removable but don't
want to perturb anything during the -rc releases
- ata_sff_pause - don't use altstatus I/O for fencing if we don't have one
- ata_sff_sync - add a fencing call so we can distinguish fencing from real
altstatus usage. All non ctl/altstatus controllers are PIO
so do not need a fence

Code wise we then use maybe_altstatus in the IRQ path (where we should only
check status and the current code is actually I think buggy), and for DMA
completion (no non ctl/altstatus controller does DMA but need to finish
verifying the calling cases).

This has been tested with ctl/altstatus faked to be unavailable on controllers
I have and works. You get some spew about failed identify but that is another
issue that can be fixed later and it does all work. Also the spew only occurs
on controllers that currently just go wrong.
