Do you mean "...if the ahci adapter does not support LPM." ?
Yes.

If that is what you mean, then min_power should not be set.
Yes, I agree with you. But, as we know, link_power_management
is a user policy which can be modified, if some users are not
familiar with ahci spec, then the above case may happen.
Users should *never* need to be aware of the HW specs and what can or
cannot be done with a particular adapter/drive. User actions trying to
enable an unsupported feature should be failed, always.

In your case though, quickly checking the AHCI specs, the scontrol
register bits you change seem to be for preventing *device* initiated
power mode transitions, not user/host initiated operations. Your commit
message should clearly mention that. But I still need to spend more time
re-reading the specs to confirm. Will do that next week.

Since you added the CAP flags, these flags should be used to detect low
power policies that can be allowed for user actions.

Mario,

Please rebase and repost your patches ! I rebased the for-5.19 branch on
rc3 to have the LPM config name revert. We need to fix this LPM mess :)

   Mario has patches to fix that.
Hmm. How to patch this case ?
Mario's patches modify the beginning of the sata_link_scr_lpm() function
to prevent setting an LPM policy that the adapter/drive does not support.
This together with the correct bits set/reset in the scr register will
only allow LPM transitions that are supported.

It may also be good to revisit ata_scsi_lpm_store() to prevent the user
from setting an unsupported policy. Currently, that uselessly triggers an
EH sequence.

To avoid some confusion in this patch set, I want to explain it here.
The patch set involves two LPM related issues, one for the ahci adapter
does not support LPM (no partial & slumber & devslp), the other for
ahci adapter supports part of LPM(eg, only partial, no slumber & devslp).

The former case is what I metioned in this mail thread. Namely, when LPM is
enabled, actions trying to enable this unsupported feature will be failed,
but will disable PORT_IRQ_PHYRDY bit at the beginning of the ahci_set_lpm()
function, which would make PhyRdy Changed cannot be detected. So I add flags
in the ata_eh_set_lpm() function which will not go to the disable operation.

The latter case is what I metioned in "PATCH[2/2]". Namely, if the ahci
adapter only supports partial (no slumber & devslp), then when LPM is enabled
(eg, min_power), *device* initiated power mode transitions will be enabled
with the scontrol register bits setting to indicate no restrictions on LPM
transitions. After that, if SSD/HDD sends a DIPM slumber request, it cannot
be disallowed by ahci adpter for driver not setting scontrol register bits
properly. So I add flags to control it.

Therefore, Mario's patches in the sata_link_scr_lpm() function may fix the
issue in "PATCH[2/2]".

Revisit ata_scsi_lpm_store() to prevent the user from setting an unsupported
policy may be a way to fix the issue in "PATCH[1/2]", but there may be another
case where some operating system manufacturers setting LPM default enable in
driver, like the following code in the ahci_init_one() function, also need to
control.

	if (ap->flags & ATA_FLAG_EM)
		ap->em_message_type = hpriv->em_msg_type;

+        ap->target_lpm_policy = ATA_LPM_MIN_POWER;
	 ahci_update_initial_lpm_policy(ap, hpriv);

According to my current understanding, the currently submitted patches can
solve the above problems, and definitely not the best. I haven't figured out
good way to use CAP flags to patch. Hope you can give me some advice, thanks.

In ahci spec, PhyRdy Change cannot coexist with LPM.

Adds support to control this case on actual LPM capability.
