Hello all,
This patch series was orginally meant to simply assign a unique id used
for printing earlier (ap->print_id), but has since grown to also include
cleanups related to ata_port_alloc() (since ap->print_id is now assigned
in ata_port_alloc()).
Patch 1-3 fixes incorrect cleanups in the error paths.
Patch 4,12 removes a useless libata wrappers only used for libsas.
Patch 5 introduces a ata_port_free(), in order to avoid duplicated code.
Patch 6 removes a unused function declaration in include/linux/libata.h.
Patch 7 remove support for decreasing the number of ports, as it is never
used by any libata driver (including libsas and ipr).
Patch 8 removes a superfluous assignment in ata_sas_port_alloc().
Patch 9 removes the unnecessary local_port_no struct member in ata_port.
Patch 10 performs the ata_port print_id assignment earlier, so that the
ata_port_* print functions can be used even before the ata_host
has been registered.
Patch 11 changes the print_id assignment to use an ida_alloc(), such that
we will reuse IDs that are no longer in use, rather than keep
increasing the print_id forever.
Patch 13 adds a debug print in case the port is marked as external, this
code runs before the ata_host has been registered, so it depends
on patch 10.
Martin, how do you want us to coordinate libsas changes?
You don't seem to have any libsas changes staged for 6.11 so far,
and the libsas changes in this series are quite isolated (and small),
so perhaps we can simply queue them via the libata tree?
Kind regards,
Niklas
