 Does piix driver work?  If so, can you post boot dmesg and the result
 of
 'hdparm -I /dev/hdX'?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be detected at all, although I'm not
exactly sure which driver you're referring to. I have tried:

New ATA drivers: 
Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support - is detected but fails
Intel PATA MPIIX support - is not detected at all (which I think is right)
Intel PATA old PIIX support (Experimental) - is not detected at all (which I
think is wrong - it should be)

Old ATA/IDE driver:
Intel PIIXn chipsets support - is not detected at all (which is right as the
bus is SATA)

Thanks,

Could this have caused a problem?

Does IDE support in linux depend on certain BIOS settings or any other
motherboard specific details? I am asking because neither the new ata
nor the old ide layer worked for the cards I tried on ARM (JMB363,
IT8212, Promise TX2 133 - worked only with 2.6.19 old ide layer).

Finally is there a simplest, known-to-work pci ide controller you can
suggest? So that I can start looking from there.

Thank you,

Re: [patch 3/3] Enable Aggressive Link Power management for AHCI controllers.

2007-06-21 Thread Jens Axboe
On Wed, Jun 20 2007, Kristen Carlson Accardi wrote:
 Enable Aggressive Link Power management for AHCI controllers.
 
 This patch will set the correct bits to turn on Aggressive
 Link Power Management (ALPM) for the ahci driver.  This
 will cause the controller and disk to negotiate a lower
 power state for the link when there is no activity (see
 the AHCI 1.x spec for details).  This feature is mutually
 exclusive with Hot Plug, so when ALPM is enabled, Hot Plug
 is disabled.  ALPM will be enabled by default, but it is
 settable via the scsi host syfs interface.  Possible 
 settings for this feature are:
 
 Setting   Effect
 --
 min_power ALPM is enabled, and link set to enter 
   lowest power state (SLUMBER) when idle
   Hot plug not allowed.
 
 max_performance   ALPM is disabled, Hot Plug is allowed
 
 medium_power  ALPM is enabled, and link set to enter
   second lowest power state (PARTIAL) when
   idle.  Hot plug not allowed.
 
 Signed-off-by:  Kristen Carlson Accardi [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A suggestion (it comes with a patch!) - default to max_power/almp off,
not min_power. For two reasons:

- There's such a big performance difference between the two, you really
  want max_power when booting.

- It's a lot better to default to no change, than default to enabling
  something new.

SATA: Is DPO and FUA ever supported?

2007-06-21 Thread Michael Tokarev
On each and every machine out there, and on every dmesg
output posted on numerous mailinglists, I see messages
similar to this:

scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA  ST3250620NS  3.AE PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
SCSI device sda: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB)
SCSI device sda: write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO 
or FUA

for SATA disk drives.  And I wonder -- are those features
supported at all by linux, and/or are there disk drives
out there which supports it as well?

For my Seagate ST3250620NS SATA drive (it's a server drive,
whatever it means), I can see -- at least --

   *Mandatory FLUSH_CACHE
   *FLUSH_CACHE_EXT

reported by hdparm -I.  I wonder what FLUSH CACHE EXT means,
and whenever it can be used to support DPO and/or FUA...

Thanks.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be detected at all, although I'm not

New ATA drivers: 
Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support - is detected but fails

Old ATA/IDE driver:

I think Tejun would like you to patch the PCI ID for your ICH8
into the Old ATA/IDE PIIXn driver, and then try that.

Maybe I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but how exactly do I do this patch the
PCI ID into the driver? I run a monolithic kernel will all these drivers
compiled in. None of them are found by the hardware except the newer libATA
driver (CONFIG_ATA_PIIX) for Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA. If I
have removed each driver in turn and none of the others are detected.

   37.736 MHz is a pretty strange PLL clock... Basically, it's the halved PCI 
clock, and that value signifies your PCI is probably running at 75 MHz -- 
which is serious overclocking... :-/
   That could explain why the driver managed to work before -- the default 
DPLL settings fit for 66 MHz PCI but made the UltraDMA fail with CRC errors on 
the plain 33 MHz PCI, IIRC...
   I may suggest replacing #undef DEBUG by #define DEBUG in this driver, 
rebuilding the kernel and posting the driver's output...

Could this have caused a problem?


   No.


Does IDE support in linux depend on certain BIOS settings or any other
motherboard specific details? I am asking because neither the new ata
nor the old ide layer worked for the cards I tried on ARM (JMB363,
IT8212, Promise TX2 133 - worked only with 2.6.19 old ide layer).


   As for the Promise -- it used to before 2.2.20-rc1, and it shouldn't since.


Finally is there a simplest, known-to-work pci ide controller you can
suggest? So that I can start looking from there.


   Your Promise card should actually be working...


Thank you,
Bahadir

Try kernel 2.6.21 or newer and the libata driver for this card
instead (pata_pdc2027x). I'm using that in a PowerMac whose
firmware doesn't initialise the card at boot, and it works for me.

What kind of ARM board is this?

The reason for this is that my patch was done before some of your patches
for HPT IDE driver and I never really got to doing follow-up patch.

IIRC piix.c and and tc86c100.c may also want an update.

then, 30 seconds later:

ata_port_flush_task: ENTER
ata_port_flush_task: flush #1
ata1: ata_port_flush_task: flush #2
ata_port_flush_task: EXIT

Then a hard hang here.

This was on 2.6.22-rc5-git1
Again, this disk and controller combo work spotlessly when using 
the ide drivers.

Re: [BUG] ide dma_timer_expiry, then hard lockup

2007-06-21 Thread Alan Cox
  queue ? You are overestimating IDE ;)
 
 He's not -- there is queued commands support since ATA[PI]-5. I'm not 
 sure 
 why but Linux decided not to support it.

Almost no hardware supports it and the functionality is really really
ugly to use when it works at all - NCQ is rather more elegant.

NAK. Not all IDE drivers are converted yet. Not even all the relatively
common ones.

Ignore me. I thought you were trying to deprecate BLK_DEV_IDE. Sorry.
