It turns out different generations of MCPs have differing quirks. * MCP 65-73 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support, forgets to report NCQ * MCP 77-79 : FPDMA AA broken, lies about PMP support * MCP 89 : FPDMA AA broken Instead of turngin off FPDMA AA on all NVIDIAs, implement HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA, define additional board IDs and apply necessary quirks. This fixes bko#15481 and the list of quirks is verified by Peer Chen. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15481 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peer Chen <pchen@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ata/ahci.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) Index: ata/drivers/ata/ahci.c =================================================================== --- ata.orig/drivers/ata/ahci.c +++ ata/drivers/ata/ahci.c @@ -62,6 +62,8 @@ enum board_ids { /* board IDs for specific chipsets in alphabetical order */ board_ahci_mcp65, + board_ahci_mcp77, + board_ahci_mcp89, board_ahci_mv, board_ahci_sb600, board_ahci_sb700, /* for SB700 and SB800 */ @@ -71,9 +73,7 @@ enum board_ids { board_ahci_mcp_linux = board_ahci_mcp65, board_ahci_mcp67 = board_ahci_mcp65, board_ahci_mcp73 = board_ahci_mcp65, - board_ahci_mcp77 = board_ahci, - board_ahci_mcp79 = board_ahci, - board_ahci_mcp89 = board_ahci, + board_ahci_mcp79 = board_ahci_mcp77, }; static int ahci_init_one(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struct pci_device_id *ent); @@ -134,7 +134,24 @@ static const struct ata_port_info ahci_p /* by chipsets */ [board_ahci_mcp65] = { - AHCI_HFLAGS (AHCI_HFLAG_YES_NCQ), + AHCI_HFLAGS (AHCI_HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA | AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP | + AHCI_HFLAG_YES_NCQ), + .flags = AHCI_FLAG_COMMON, + .pio_mask = ATA_PIO4, + .udma_mask = ATA_UDMA6, + .port_ops = &ahci_ops, + }, + [board_ahci_mcp77] = + { + AHCI_HFLAGS (AHCI_HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA | AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP), + .flags = AHCI_FLAG_COMMON, + .pio_mask = ATA_PIO4, + .udma_mask = ATA_UDMA6, + .port_ops = &ahci_ops, + }, + [board_ahci_mcp89] = + { + AHCI_HFLAGS (AHCI_HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA), .flags = AHCI_FLAG_COMMON, .pio_mask = ATA_PIO4, .udma_mask = ATA_UDMA6, @@ -1102,12 +1119,13 @@ static int ahci_init_one(struct pci_dev /* prepare host */ if (hpriv->cap & HOST_CAP_NCQ) { pi.flags |= ATA_FLAG_NCQ; - /* Auto-activate optimization is supposed to be supported on - all AHCI controllers indicating NCQ support, but it seems - to be broken at least on some NVIDIA MCP79 chipsets. - Until we get info on which NVIDIA chipsets don't have this - issue, if any, disable AA on all NVIDIA AHCIs. */ - if (pdev->vendor != PCI_VENDOR_ID_NVIDIA) + /* + * Auto-activate optimization is supposed to be + * supported on all AHCI controllers indicating NCQ + * capability, but it seems to be broken on some + * chipsets including NVIDIAs. + */ + if (!(hpriv->flags & AHCI_HFLAG_NO_FPDMA_AA)) pi.flags |= ATA_FLAG_FPDMA_AA; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
