3.6.11.6 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vincent Pelletier [ Upstream commit e771451c0a831d96a7c14b0ca8a8ec671d98567b ] libata honors DMADIR for regular commands, but not for internal commands used (among other) during device initialisation. This makes SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridges based on Silicon Image SiL3611 (such as "Abit Serillel 2") end up disabled when used with an ATAPI device after a few tries. Log output of the bridge being hot-plugged with an ATAPI drive: [ 9631.212901] ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x40c0000 action 0xe frozen [ 9631.212913] ata1: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed [ 9631.212923] ata1: SError: { CommWake 10B8B DevExch } [ 9631.212939] ata1: hard resetting link [ 9632.104962] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) [ 9632.106393] ata1.00: ATAPI: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-115, 1.06, max UDMA/33 [ 9632.106407] ata1.00: applying bridge limits [ 9632.108151] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 [ 9637.105303] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0) [ 9637.105324] ata1.00: failed to clear UNIT ATTENTION (err_mask=0x5) [ 9637.105335] ata1: hard resetting link [ 9638.044599] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) [ 9638.047878] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 [ 9643.044933] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0) [ 9643.044953] ata1.00: failed to clear UNIT ATTENTION (err_mask=0x5) [ 9643.044963] ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps [ 9643.044971] ata1.00: limiting speed to UDMA/33:PIO3 [ 9643.044979] ata1: hard resetting link [ 9643.984225] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [ 9643.987471] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 [ 9648.984591] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0) [ 9648.984612] ata1.00: failed to clear UNIT ATTENTION (err_mask=0x5) [ 9648.984619] ata1.00: disabled [ 9649.000593] ata1: hard resetting link [ 9649.939902] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) [ 9649.955864] ata1: EH complete With this patch, the drive enumerates correctly when libata is loaded with atapi_dmadir=1: [ 9891.810863] ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x40c0000 action 0xe frozen [ 9891.810874] ata1: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed [ 9891.810884] ata1: SError: { CommWake 10B8B DevExch } [ 9891.810900] ata1: hard resetting link [ 9892.762105] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) [ 9892.763544] ata1.00: ATAPI: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-115, 1.06, max UDMA/33, DMADIR [ 9892.763558] ata1.00: applying bridge limits [ 9892.765393] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 [ 9892.786063] ata1: EH complete [ 9892.792062] scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROM PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-115 1.06 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 9892.798455] sr2: scsi3-mmc drive: 12x/12x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray [ 9892.798837] sr 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr2 [ 9892.799109] sr 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 5 Based on a patch by Csaba Halász on linux-ide: http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=136121147832295&w=2 tj: minor formatting changes.
