Bart Hartgers 02d1d6160f sata_via: Correctly setup PIO/DMA for pata slave on vt6421.
Before only the timings for master were set. Datasheet can be found
here: ftp://ftp.vtbridge.org/Docs/Storage/DS_VT6421A_100_CCPL.PDF
Surprisingly, a slave drive works without this patch. According to the
datasheet, the controller by default derives the DMA mode from the
Set Features command issued to a drive. Not sure about the PIO
timings, though. The real problem is that the timings for the master
effectively are the ones tuned for the slave. If these support
different UDMA-settings, there is trouble, especially when the slave
supports a higher UDMA than the master.

Anyhow, using the same mechanism for both master and slave seems like
a good idea.

Tejun Heo 27943620cb libata: implement spurious irq handling for SFF and apply it to piix
Traditional IDE interface sucks in that it doesn't have a reliable IRQ
pending bit, so if the controller raises IRQ while the driver is
expecting it not to, the IRQ won't be cleared and eventually the IRQ
line will be killed by interrupt subsystem.  Some controllers have
non-standard mechanism to indicate IRQ pending so that this condition
can be detected and worked around.

This patch adds an optional operation ->sff_irq_check() which will be
called for each port from the ata_sff_interrupt() if an unexpected
interrupt is received.  If the operation returns %true,
->sff_check_status() and ->sff_irq_clear() will be cleared for the
port.  Note that this doesn't mark the interrupt as handled so it
won't prevent IRQ subsystem from killing the IRQ if this mechanism
fails to clear the spurious IRQ.

This patch also implements ->sff_irq_check() for ata_piix.  Note that
this adds slight overhead to shared IRQ operation as IRQs which are
destined for other controllers will trigger extra register accesses to
check whether IDE interrupt is pending but this solves rare screaming
IRQ cases and for some curious reason also helps weird BIOS related
glitch on Samsung n130 as reported in bko#14314.

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14314

* piix_base_ops dropped as suggested by Sergei.

* Spurious IRQ detection doesn't kick in anymore if polling qc is in
  progress.  This provides less protection but some controllers have
  possible data corruption issues if the wrong register is accessed
  while a command is in progress.

There's no need to clear the fast interrupt bit in hpt366_set_mode()

While at it, rename 'addr1' local variable to 'addr' and
exclude 'ap->port_no' from its calculation as HPT36x are

Shaohua Li abc3c744d0 cfq-iosched: quantum check tweak
Currently a queue can only dispatch up to 4 requests if there are other queues.
This isn't optimal, device can handle more requests, for example, AHCI can
handle 31 requests. I can understand the limit is for fairness, but we could
do a tweak: if the queue still has a lot of slice left, sounds we could
ignore the limit. Test shows this boost my workload (two thread randread of
a SSD) from 78m/s to 100m/s.

We split the rq_in_flight counter (was sync_flight) to count both sync

from 31 to 32 scatter gather elements in the command block itself (not chained)
actually broke the SCSI half of the driver, so that any transfer requiring 32
scatter gather elements wouldn't work.  This fix also increases the max transfer
size and size of the scatter gather table to the limit supported by the controller

cciss: simplify scatter gather code.
Instead of allocating an array of pointers to a structure
containing an SGDescriptor structure, and two other elements
that aren't really used, just allocate SGDescriptor structs.

Corrado Zoccolo 41647e7a91 cfq-iosched: rethink seeky detection for SSDs
CFQ currently applies the same logic of detecting seeky queues and
grouping them together for rotational disks as well as SSDs.
For SSDs, the time to complete a request doesn't depend on the
request location, but only on the size.
This patch therefore changes the criterion to group queues by
request size in case of SSDs, in order to achieve better fairness.

Corrado Zoccolo 3dde36ddea cfq-iosched: rework seeky detection
Current seeky detection is based on average seek lenght.
This is suboptimal, since the average will not distinguish between:
* a process doing medium sized seeks
* a process doing some sequential requests interleaved with larger seeks
and even a medium seek can take lot of time, if the requested sector
happens to be behind the disk head in the rotation (50% probability).

Therefore, we change the seeky queue detection to work as follows:
* each request can be classified as sequential if it is very close to
  the current head position, i.e. it is likely in the disk cache (disks
  usually read more data than requested, and put it in cache for
  subsequent reads). Otherwise, the request is classified as seeky.
* an history window of the last 32 requests is kept, storing the
  classification result.
* A queue is marked as seeky if more than 1/8 of the last 32 requests
  were seeky.

This patch fixes a regression reported by Yanmin, on mmap 64k random
reads.
