Yeah, it is the sil4726 virtual device which is really crappy as an ATA
device.  About the fix, I thought PMP support would fix it but the
controller on P5W-DH doesn't support PMP.  It can only talk to the
virtual device or the device attached to the first port depending on how
the PMP chip is configured.  It seems we'll have to blacklist the
mainboard and skip or use modified reset sequence on the affected port,
so that's why the fix was delayed.  I'm currently on the road but I'll
look into it when I get back (next week).

Thanks.

Great, this will be useful output.  It will probably be a couple days 
before my next patch.  In the meantime, you can extract the bad commit 
to a patch


git-diff-tree -p 268fe6f9f15551be9abedd44a237392675d529d5 > \

and then revert it locally in your kernel tree

patch -sp1 -R < /tmp/patch

to temporarily work around this.

I will definitely make sure this is either fixed or reverted before it 
goes upstream to Linus.

If there are still problems, an updated dmesg (w/ the attached patch)

[libata] SCSI: simple TEST UNIT READY simulation

Thanks for debugging!

Can you tell me something about this device?

It seems like it does not support the 'check power mode' command.

Can you post a text file attachment, containing the output of 'hdparm

ATA spec says "The device shall return command aborted if the device 
does not support the Power Management feature set." Whereas TEST UNIT 
READY is required for SCSI. It seems the SAT authors didn't consider 
this case.


I assume we can tell from the identify data that the device doesn't

this case?

No problem.  The device in question is a Western Digital Raptor WD360GD
36.7GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive.

hdparm output attached.

ATA spec says The device shall return command aborted if the device

this case.



Dumb me -- I misread that as mandatory.

Okay, here's the problem:

268fe6f9f15551be9abedd44a237392675d529d5 is first bad commit

[libata] SCSI: simple TEST UNIT READY simulation

It's trivial to ping the device, and that's a much more sane behavior
than no-op.

Does the attached patch change behavior at all?  You should be able to 
apply it on top of libata-dev.git#upstream or -mm.


If there are still problems, an updated dmesg (w/ the attached patch) 
and output from enabling ATA_DEBUG (include/linux/libata.h) would be 
very helpful.


Thanks!

Jeff

Still broken, dmesg with ATA_DEBUG defined, attached.


Great, this will be useful output.  It will probably be a couple days 
before my next patch.  In the meantime, you can extract the bad commit 
to a patch


git-diff-tree -p 268fe6f9f15551be9abedd44a237392675d529d5  \
/tmp/patch

and then revert it locally in your kernel tree

patch -sp1 -R  /tmp/patch

to temporarily work around this.

I will definitely make sure this is either fixed or reverted before it 
goes upstream to Linus.


Thanks,

Jeff

Would it also be possible for you to send along 'hdparm --Istdout' 
output for your config disk thingy, /dev/sdd ?

Are you "git-friendly"?  A few quick kernel compiles and reboots would 
help us narrow down the problem, given that it's a reproducible regression.


The first step would be to clone the "upstream" branch of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git


and see if the problem is reproducible there.  If yes, then you have 
narrowed down the problem to something my ATA devel tree has introduced 
into -mm.


Once the blame has been squared fixed upon me :) you can use git-bisect 
to locate the precise change that broke your setup.
