The sata on fsl mpc8315e is broken after the commit 8a4aeec8d2d6 ("libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers"). The reason is that the ata controller on this SoC only implement a queue depth of 16. When issuing the commands in tag order, all the commands in tag 16 ~ 31 are mapped to tag 0 unconditionally and then causes the sata malfunction. It makes no senses to use a 32 queue in software while the hardware has less queue depth. So consider the queue depth implemented by the hardware when requesting a command tag.
Fixes: 8a4aeec8d2d6 ("libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao <haokexin@xxxxxxxxx> --- v3: Use ap->scsi_host->can_queue for the queue depth implemented by hardware. Patch 2 in v2 is also dropped due to this change.
v2: Remove the changes for the ata tag helper functions
Hi Tejun,
I didn't get explicit objection for the codes at http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=140478830920334&w=2 So I assume that you are OK wit it. The code in this patch is the same as that, just add the commit log.

Assigning 'tag' back to 'tag' is quite stupid, don't you think? Why not: if (tag >= max_queue) tag = 0; MBR, Sergei -- 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
