      libata: implement ata_wait_after_reset() · 88ff6eaf
      Tejun Heo authored
      On certain device/controller combination, 0xff status is asserted
      after reset and doesn't get cleared during 150ms post-reset wait.  As
      0xff status is interpreted as no device (for good reasons), this can
      lead to misdetection on such cases.
      
      This patch implements ata_wait_after_reset() which replaces the 150ms
      sleep and waits upto ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff.
      ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT is currently 800ms which is enough for
      HHD424020F7SV00 to get detected but not enough for Quantum GoVault
      drive which is known to take upto 2s.
      
      Without parallel probing, spending 2s on 0xff port would incur too
      much delay on ata_piix's which use 0xff to indicate empty port and
      doesn't have SCR register, so GoVault needs to wait till parallel
      probing.

      libata: track SLEEP state and issue SRST to wake it up · 054a5fba
      Tejun Heo authored
      ATA devices in SLEEP mode don't respond to any commands.  SRST is
      necessary to wake it up.  Till now, when a command is issued to a
      device in SLEEP mode, the command times out, which makes EH reset the
      device and retry the command after that, causing a long delay.
      
      This patch makes libata track SLEEP state and issue SRST automatically
      if a command is about to be issued to a device in SLEEP.

      libata: relocate and fix post-command processing · 4dbfa39b
      Tejun Heo authored
      Some commands need post-processing after successful completion.  This
      was done in ata_scsi_qc_complete() till now but this has the following
      problems.
      
      * Post-command processing gets executed when qc is completed from EH.
        Some qc's are retried from EH with zero err_mask and thus triggers
        unnecessary/incorrect post-command processing.
      
      * Command post processing doesn't belong to SAT layer.
      
      * Link-wide revalidation was scheduled where device revalidation
        suffices.
      
      This patch moves post-command processing to success completion path of
      ata_qc_complete() which is travelled iff the command is going to be
      completed without passing through EH and updates post-command
      processing such that device-specific action is used.  While at it,
      restructure code a bit for readability.
