Asynchronous notification on ICH9 didn't work because it didn't write AN FIS into the RX area - it only updates SNotification. Also, snooping SDB_FIS RX area is racy against further SDB FIS receptions. Let sata_async_notification() determine using SNTF if it's available and snoop RX area iff SNTF isn't available Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ata/ahci.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/ata/ahci.c b/drivers/ata/ahci.c index 6633c74..abfb72a 100644 --- a/drivers/ata/ahci.c +++ b/drivers/ata/ahci.c @@ -1420,6 +1420,7 @@ static void ahci_port_intr(struct ata_port *ap) void __iomem *port_mmio = ap->ioaddr.cmd_addr; struct ata_eh_info *ehi = &ap->link.eh_info; struct ahci_port_priv *pp = ap->private_data; + struct ahci_host_priv *hpriv = ap->host->private_data; u32 status, qc_active; int rc, known_irq = 0; @@ -1432,17 +1433,28 @@ static void ahci_port_intr(struct ata_port *ap) } if (status & PORT_IRQ_SDB_FIS) { - /* If the 'N' bit in word 0 of the FIS is set, we just - * received asynchronous notification.
