After media is loaded, it takes some time for the device to get ready,
and it's supposed to raise UNIT_ATTENTION to tell the driver that media
has changed.  TUR fails with UA and sense data reports media exchanged
and the next TUR succeeds.  In SATA, you might also see unit reset UA
due to the probing sequence.  Those are why TUR is tried several times
in the first place.

So, there's nothing wrong with failing TURs, it's perfectly normal that
they fail first one or two tries.

Thank you, Tejun! I did forget to load any media :(
When I load media and retry, TUR succeeds but there is still a
problem: when using ahci driver, TUR will not succeed unless it runs
twice, and the following loop always runs till retries==2
 code in sr.c, get_capabilities() -
retries = 0;
do {
memset((void *)cmd, 0, MAX_COMMAND_SIZE);
cmd[0] = TEST_UNIT_READY;

the_result = scsi_execute_req (cd->device, cmd, DMA_NONE, NULL,
   0, &sshdr, SR_TIMEOUT,
   MAX_RETRIES);

retries++;
} while (retries < 5 &&
 (!scsi_status_is_good(the_result) ||
  (scsi_sense_valid(&sshdr) &&
   sshdr.sense_key == UNIT_ATTENTION)));
- end code

this issue only occurs in ahci driver,  and libata + pata driver is OK.

I've read your last posting about this, but forgot to follow up.  TUR is
supposed to fail if ATAPI device doesn't have media loaded.  TUR fails
and sense data returns device not ready - media not present.  That's the
normal operation.  Does TUR fail even with media loaded or is sense data
not properly fetched?

Hi,
Do you ever noticed that the ATAPI command TEST_UNIT_READY always

I debugged in the following environments:
piix + Intel ICH6/ICH7 PATA
atiixp + ATI SB600 PATA
libata + ata_piix + Intel ICH6/ICH7 PATA
libata + sata_sil24 + Silicon Image 3132
libata + ahci + ATI SB600 SATA
libata + ahci + Intel AHCI
but none of them can execute TEST_UNIT_READY command successfully.
For example, in ahci driver, ahci_interrupt() reads port status as
0x4000_, which indicates an taskfile error.

~~

0x4000_0001, not 0x4000_, sorry.

more precisely speaking, ahci_host_intr() reads PORT_IRQ_STAT as
0x4000_0001, not the  expected 0x_0001.
