When the cache_type for the scsi device is changed, the scsi layer
issues a MODE_SELECT command. The caching mode details are communicated
via a request buffer associated with the scsi command with data
direction set as DMA_TO_DEVICE (scsi_mode_select). When this command
reaches the libata layer, as a part of generic initial setup, libata
layer sets up the scatterlist for the command using the scsi command
(ata_scsi_qc_new). This command is then translated by the libata layer
into ATA_CMD_SET_FEATURES (ata_scsi_mode_select_xlat). The libata layer
treats this as a non data command (ata_mselect_caching), since it only
needs an ata taskfile to pass the caching on/off information to the
device. It does not need the scatterlist that has been setup, so it does
not perform dma_map_sg on the scatterlist (ata_qc_issue). Unfortunately,
when this command reaches the libsas layer(sas_ata_qc_issue), libsas
layer sees it as a non data command with a scatterlist. It cannot
extract the correct dma length, since the scatterlist has not been
mapped with dma_map_sg for a DMA operation. When this partially
constructed SAS task reaches pm80xx LLDD, it results in below warning.
"pm80xx_chip_sata_req 6058: The sg list address
start_addr=0x0000000000000000 data_len=0x0end_addr_high=0xffffffff
end_addr_low=0xffffffff has crossed 4G boundary"
This patch updates code to handle ata non data commands separately so
num_scatter and total_xfer_len remain 0.
Fixes: 53de092f47ff ("scsi: libsas: Set data_dir as DMA_NONE if libata marks qc as NODATA")
