Subject: libata: force hardreset if link is in powersave mode
To: Jeff Garzik <jeff@xxxxxxxxxx>, IDE/ATA development list <linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, stable@xxxxxxxxxx
Cc: matthieu.castet@xxxxxxxxxx
Message-ID: <482C3751.8030206@xxxxxxxxx>
From: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx>
Inhibiting link PM mode doesn't bring the link back online if it's
already in powersave mode. If SRST is used in these cases, libata EH
thinks that the link is offline and fails detection. Force hardreset
if link is in powersave mode.
