libata core is being changed to disallow port/device disable on lower layers. However, some LLDDs (sata_mv) directly disable port on command failure. This patch makes ata_exec_internal() check whether a port got disabled after an internal command. If it is, AC_ERR_SYSTEM is added to err_mask and the port gets re-enabled. As internal command failure results in device disable for drivers which don't implement newer reset/EH callbacks, this change results in no behavior change for single device per port controllers. For slave-possible LLDDs which disable port on command failure, (1) such drivers don't exist currently, (2) issuing command to the other device of once-disabled port shouldn't result in catastrophe even if such driver exists. So, this should be enough as a temporary measure. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx>
