commit 287e6611ab1eac76c2c5ebf6e345e04c80ca9c61 upstream.
As reported by Soohoon Lee, the HDIO_GET_32BIT ioctl does not
work correctly in compat mode with libata.
I have investigated the issue further and found multiple problems
that all appeared with the same commit that originally introduced
HDIO_GET_32BIT handling in libata back in linux-2.6.8 and presumably
also linux-2.4, as the code uses "copy_to_user(arg, &val, 1)" to copy
a 'long' variable containing either 0 or 1 to user space.
The problems with this are:
* On big-endian machines, this will always write a zero because it
stores the wrong byte into user space.
* In compat mode, the upper three bytes of the variable are updated
by the compat_hdio_ioctl() function, but they now contain
uninitialized stack data.
* The hdparm tool calling this ioctl uses a 'static long' variable
to store the result. This means at least the upper bytes are
initialized to zero, but calling another ioctl like HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT
would fill them with data that remains stale when the low byte
is overwritten. Fortunately libata doesn't implement any of the
affected ioctl commands, so this would only happen when we query
both an IDE and an ATA device in the same command such as
"hdparm -N -c /dev/hda /dev/sda"
* The libata code for unknown reasons started using ATA_IOC_GET_IO32
and ATA_IOC_SET_IO32 as aliases for HDIO_GET_32BIT and HDIO_SET_32BIT,
while the ioctl commands that were added later use the normal
HDIO_* names. This is harmless but rather confusing.
This addresses all four issues by changing the code to use put_user()
on an 'unsigned long' variable in HDIO_GET_32BIT, like the IDE subsystem
does, and by clarifying the names of the ioctl commands.

limit
Since no longer limiting max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (commit 34b48db66e08),
data corruption may occur on ST380013AS drive configured on 82801JI (ICH10 Family)
SATA controller. This patch will allow the driver to limit max_sectors as before
# cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb
512
I was able to double the max_sectors_kb value up to 16384 on linux-4.2.0-rc2
before seeing corruption, but seems safer to use previous limit. Without this
patch max_sectors_kb will be 32767.

The function returns type of ATAPI drives so it should return integer value.
The commit 4dce8ba94c7 (libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX) since
v2.6.39 changed the type of return value from int to bool, the change would
cause all of the ATAPI class drives to be treated as TYPE_TAPE and the

f8d8e5799b7(libata: increase 128 KB / cmd limit for ATAPI tape drives), for the

NCQ capability was used to check availability of SATA Settings page
from Identify Device Data Log, which contains DevSlp timing variables.
It does not work on some HDDs and leads to error messages.
IDENTIFY word 78 bit 5(Hardware Feature Control) can't work either
because it is only the sufficient condition of Identify Device data
log, not the necessary condition.
This patch replaced ata_device->sata_settings with ->devslp_timing
to only save DevSlp timing variables(8 bytes), instead of the whole
SATA Settings page(512 bytes).

Device Sleep is a feature as described in AHCI 1.3.1 Technical Proposal.
This feature enables an HBA and SATA storage device to enter the DevSleep
interface state, enabling lower power SATA-based systems.
Aggressive Device Sleep enables the HBA to assert the DEVSLP signal as
soon as there are no commands outstanding to the device and the port
specific Device Sleep idle timer has expired. This enables autonomous
entry into the DevSleep interface state without waiting for software
in power sensitive systems.
This patch enables Aggressive Device Sleep only if both host controller
and device support it.
Tested on AMD reference board together with Device Sleep supported device
sample.

This change enables my x86 machine to recognize and talk to a
"Native 4K" SATA device.
When I started working on this, I didn't know Matthew Wilcox had
posted a similar patch 2 years ago:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/willy/ata.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ata-large-sectors
Gwendal Grignou pointed me at the the above code and small portions of
this patch include Matthew's work. That's why Mathew is first on the
"Signed-off-by:". I've NOT included his use of a bitmap to determine
512 vs Native for ATA command block size - just used a simple table.
And bugs are almost certainly mine.
Lastly, the patch has been tested with a native 4K 'Engineering

Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands,
do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1).
So instead use LBA48 for such accesses.
This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has
taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems,
it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at
0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

I have a Delkin Devices compact flash card that isn't being recognized using the
SATA/PATA drivers.
The card is recognized and works with the deprecated ATA drivers.
The error I am seeing is:
ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (device reports invalid type, err_mask=0x0)
I tracked it down to ata_id_is_cfa() in include/linux/ata.h.
The Delkin card has id[0] set to 0x844a and id[83] set to 0.
This isn't what the kernel expects and is probably incorrect.
The simplest work-around is to add a check for 0x844a to ata_id_is_cfa().

Note that I hardcode the WRITE_SAME_16 opcode for now as the patch to introduce

This patch improve libata's output for error/notification messages
to allow easier comprehension and debugging:
When ATAPI commands issued through the SCSI layer fail, use SCSI
functions to print the CDB in human-readable form instead of just
dumping out the CDB in hex.
Print out the name of the failed command (as defined by the ATA
specification) in error handling output along with the raw register
contents.
When reporting status of ACPI taskfile commands executed on resume,
also output the names of the commands being executed (or not) in
readable form.
Since the extra data for printing command names increases kernel
size slightly, a config option has been added to allow disabling
command name output (as well as some of the error register parsing)
for those highly sensitive to kernel text size.

This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and
media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words.
The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the
characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.
This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit
without any version checking whatsoever. With no complaints so far.

I recently bought 3 HGST P7K500-series 500GB SATA drives and
had trouble accessing the block right on the LBA28-LBA48 border.
Here's how it fails (same for all 3 drives):
# dd if=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 skip=268435455 > /dev/null
dd: reading `/dev/sdc': Input/output error

ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
ata1.00: error: { ABRT }
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33
ata1: EH complete
...
After some investigations, it turned out this seems to be caused
by misinterpretation of the ATA specification on LBA28 access.
Following part is the code in question:
=== include/linux/ata.h ===
static inline int lba_28_ok(u64 block, u32 n_block)
{
/* check the ending block number */
return ((block + n_block - 1) < ((u64)1 << 28)) && (n_block <= 256);
}
HGST drive (sometimes) fails with LBA28 access of {block = 0xfffffff,
n_block = 1}, and this behavior seems to be comformant. Other drives,
including other HGST drives are not that strict, through.
>From the ATA specification:
(http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1410r3b-ATA-ATAPI-6.pdf)
8.15.29 Word (61:60): Total number of user addressable sectors
This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number
of user addressable sectors (see 6.2). The maximum value that shall
be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh.
So the driver shouldn't use the value of 0xfffffff for LBA28 request
as this exceeds maximum user addressable sector. The logical maximum
value for LBA28 is 0xffffffe.
The obvious fix is to cut "- 1" part, and the patch attached just do
that. I've been using the patched kernel for about a month now, and
the same fix is also floating on the net for some time. So I believe
this fix works reliably.
Just FYI, many Windows/Intel platform users also seems to be struck
by this, and HGST has issued a note pointing to Intel ICH8/9 driver.
"28-bit LBA command is being used to access LBAs 29-bits in length"
