All softreset methods are responsible for detecting device presence and succeed softreset in such cases. AHCI didn't use to check for device presence before proceeding with softreset and this caused unnecessary reset retrials during probing. This patch adds presence detection to AHCI softreset. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> --- This makes AHCI act like all other softresets and new EH already handles false successes properly. So, I think this should do the trick. ahci.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/ahci.c b/drivers/scsi/ahci.c index 1bd82c4..8403cf3 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/ahci.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/ahci.c @@ -549,6 +549,12 @@ static int ahci_softreset(struct ata_por DPRINTK("ENTER\n"); + if (!sata_dev_present(ap)) { + DPRINTK("PHY reports no device\n"); + *class = ATA_DEV_NONE; + return 0; + } + /* prepare for SRST (AHCI-1.1 10.4.1) */ rc = ahci_stop_engine(ap); if (rc) { - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
