[ Upstream commit 804689ad2d ]
For failed commands with valid sense data (e.g. NCQ commands),
scsi_check_sense() is used in ata_analyze_tf() to determine if the
command can be retried. In such case, rely on this decision and ignore
the command error mask based decision done in ata_worth_retry().
This fixes useless retries of commands such as unaligned writes on zoned
disks (TYPE_ZAC).

commit f1601113dd upstream.
When tracing ata link error event, the kernel crashes when the disk is
removed due to NULL pointer access by trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy API.
This occurs as the dev is NULL when the disk disappeared. This patch
fixes this crash by calling trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy only if "dev"
is not NULL.
v2 changes:
Removed direct passing "link" pointer instead of "dev" in trace API.

There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
pair. This commit therefore eliminates the spin_unlock_wait() call and
associated else-clause and hoists the then-clause's lock and unlock out of
the "if" statement. This should be safe from a performance perspective
because according to Tejun there should be few if any drivers that don't
set their own error handler.

sas_ata_strategy_handler() adds the works of the ata error handler to
system_unbound_wq. This workqueue asynchronously runs work items, so the
ata error handler will be performed concurrently on different CPUs. In
this case, ->host_failed will be decreased simultaneously in
scsi_eh_finish_cmd() on different CPUs, and become abnormal.
It will lead to permanently inequality between ->host_failed and
->host_busy, and scsi error handler thread won't start running. IO
errors after that won't be handled.
Since all scmds must have been handled in the strategy handler, just
remove the decrement in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() and zero ->host_busy after
the strategy handler to fix this race.

libata-eh.c should handle AMNF error condition (error byte bit 0,
usually code 0x01) in libata-eh.c along with UNC as a media error so
SCSI stack can handle it properly (translation code 0x01 is already
present in libata-scsi.c) but was never passed down due to lack of
handling in EH.
While using linux-based machine (AMD 6550M-based notebook, PCI IDs for the
controller are 1022:7801 subsys 1025:059d) and ddrescue to salvage data
from failing hard drive (WD7500BPVT 2.5" 750G SATA2), I've found that pure
AMNF 0x01 error code generates generic "device error" that is retried
several times by SCSI stack instead of "media error" that is passed up to
software.
So we may assume deprecated AMNF error code is surely not dead yet, and
it's better for it to be handled properly. As we may see it is used by
modern enough devices, and used properly: drive returned AMNF only when IDs
for track cannot be read completely due to dying head or positioning,
otherwise it returned UNC(orrectables).
Not handling it causes wrong generic error code ("device error") reporting
down the stack, can damage failing drives further because of excessive
retries, and slows salvaging down a lot. Also, there is handling code in
libata-scsi.c for 0x01 AMNF error already.

Tejun says:
"At least for libata, worrying about suspend/resume failures don't make
whole lot of sense. If suspend failed, just proceed with suspend. If
the device can't be woken up afterwards, that's that. There isn't
anything we could have done differently anyway. The same for resume, if
spinup fails, the device is dud and the following commands will invoke
EH actions and will eventually fail. Again, there really isn't any
*choice* to make. Just making sure the errors are handled gracefully
(ie. don't crash) and the following commands are handled correctly
should be enough."
The only libata user that actually cares about the result from a suspend
operation is libsas. However, it only cares about whether queuing a new
operation collides with an in-flight one. All libsas does with the
error is retry, but we can just let libata wait for the previous
operation before continuing.
Other cleanups include:
1/ Unifying all ata port pm operations on an ata_port_pm_ prefix
2/ Marking all ata port pm helper routines as returning void, only
ata_port_pm_ entry points need to fake a 0 return value.
3/ Killing ata_port_{suspend|resume}_common() in favor of calling
ata_port_request_pm() directly
4/ Killing the wrappers that just do a to_ata_port() conversion
5/ Clearly marking the entry points that do async operations with an
_async suffix.
