New: [bisected] 2.6.31 regression sis5513 PIO Mode 0 hang

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14310

           Summary: [bisected] 2.6.31 regression sis5513 PIO Mode 0 hang
           Product: IO/Storage
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.31
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
          Priority: P1
         Component: IDE
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
        Regression: Yes

I just did a git bisection from 2.6.30 to 2.6.31 because 2.6.31 will not boot on this system. [email protected]'s post September 12th looks the same, different CPU but both have sis5513 IDE chips. His would normally init the ethernet chip next, mine would do PS/2 next, both hang right after the Uniform CD-ROM message.

This was bisected down to chaging PIO mode 0 for probing. What problem was that patch trying to solve? Reverting just that patch at the top of 2.6.31 tree works. I can test patches.

ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible

Initially set PIO Mode 0 for all host drivers that have a 'set_pio_mode' method before the IDE core figures out the most suited PIO mode for the attached device.

--- Comment #3 from Jiri Bohac <[email protected]> 2009-10-23 18:32:03 --- I can still reproduce this on 2.6.31.5, where the e13ee546bb06453939014c7b854e77fb643fd6f1 fix is included. Reverting 6029336426a2b43e4bc6f4a84be8789a047d139e helps.

Without reverting 6029336426a2b43e4bc6f4a84be8789a047d139e the system hangs on "ide-cd driver 5.00", but sometimes I also get {DriveReady SeekComplete Error} errors on hda before the hang -- never seen them without 6029336426a2b43e4bc6f4a84be8789a047d139e.

A few interesting lines of output before the hang: (hand-copied, no serial console here)

hda: ST38421A <strange_nonASCII_triangle_character_here> , ATA DISK drive

I don't have regular access to this machine, but if help is needed, I can arrange access to the machine.

Can we re-open this bug?

Great, this patch, applied on 2.6.31.5, fixes the problem for me.

Out of curiosity, I also tried to revert the original fix (e13ee546bb06453939014c7b854e77fb643fd6f1) and, with the debug patch still applied, it still worked.

So maybe 6029336426a2b43e4bc6f4a84be8789a047d139e causes two independent problems in sis5513? One fixed with e13ee546bb06453939014c7b854e77fb643fd6f1 and one fixed with this debug patch?

It would be great if this patch could be added to the stable tree. Thanks!

Thanks for checking this.

Yes, your findings are correct.

The problem is that the change in the debug patch affects all host drivers and at this moment is not safe enough neither for -stable nor for -rc.

Somebody needs to go and review all host drivers and their usage of ->media field for tuning logic present in ->set_pio_mode implementations first.

Before this happens we probably should revert commit 6029336 but I'll leave this up to the maintainer (I seriously doubt he will ever go and review any IDE drivers or make any IDE fixes so please just ping him about the revert).

Thanks,

The drivers which do this are:

drivers/ide/alim15x3.c
drivers/ide/it8172.c
drivers/ide/it8213.c
drivers/ide/pdc202xx_old.c
drivers/ide/piix.c
drivers/ide/qd65xx.c
drivers/ide/sis5513.c
drivers/ide/slc90e66.c

While the majority of them seem to use it to decide whether to enable prefetching or not, alim15x3.c uses the ->media value to decide whether to turn on the ATA or the ATAPI FIFO.

I don't think it's safe to call ->set_pio_mode() until we actually know the media type.

I suppose we could guard the prefetch/FIFO changes in these drivers with a test like:

	if (!(hwif->port_flags & IDE_PFLAG_PROBING))

or something like that.

But in this stage of the game, it's just too risky and reverting the early PIO0 commit is the best way to go.

I'll do that now.

--- Comment #9 from Alan <[email protected]> 2009-11-06 13:05:14 --- You turn the FIFO off if you are probing. Always

You cannot know the media type until you probe, and you cannot properly probe until you've set the interface to a sane known state. The media type should be set to indicate no media at that point.

Agreed on reverting it - it generally only affects non PC platforms anyway - the PC ones tend to come up with the controller either in PIO 0 or configured to match the drive by the BIOS - both of which are generally acceptable.
