+========================
+libATA Developer's Guide
+========================
+
+:Author: Jeff Garzik
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+libATA is a library used inside the Linux kernel to support ATA host
+controllers and devices. libATA provides an ATA driver API, class
+transports for ATA and ATAPI devices, and SCSI<->ATA translation for ATA
+devices according to the T10 SAT specification.
+
+This Guide documents the libATA driver API, library functions, library
+internals, and a couple sample ATA low-level drivers.
+
+libata Driver API
+=================
+
+:c:type:`struct ata_port_operations <ata_port_operations>`
+is defined for every low-level libata
+hardware driver, and it controls how the low-level driver interfaces
+with the ATA and SCSI layers.
+
+FIS-based drivers will hook into the system with ``->qc_prep()`` and
+``->qc_issue()`` high-level hooks. Hardware which behaves in a manner
+similar to PCI IDE hardware may utilize several generic helpers,
+defining at a bare minimum the bus I/O addresses of the ATA shadow
+register blocks.
+
+:c:type:`struct ata_port_operations <ata_port_operations>`
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Disable ATA port
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*port_disable) (struct ata_port *);
+
+
+Called from :c:func:`ata_bus_probe` error path, as well as when unregistering
+from the SCSI module (rmmod, hot unplug). This function should do
+whatever needs to be done to take the port out of use. In most cases,
+:c:func:`ata_port_disable` can be used as this hook.
+
+Called from :c:func:`ata_bus_probe` on a failed probe. Called from
+:c:func:`ata_scsi_release`.
+
+Post-IDENTIFY device configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*dev_config) (struct ata_port *, struct ata_device *);
+
+
+Called after IDENTIFY [PACKET] DEVICE is issued to each device found.
+Typically used to apply device-specific fixups prior to issue of SET
+FEATURES - XFER MODE, and prior to operation.
+
+This entry may be specified as NULL in ata_port_operations.
+
+Set PIO/DMA mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*set_piomode) (struct ata_port *, struct ata_device *);
+ void (*set_dmamode) (struct ata_port *, struct ata_device *);
+ void (*post_set_mode) (struct ata_port *);
+ unsigned int (*mode_filter) (struct ata_port *, struct ata_device *, unsigned int);
+
+
+Hooks called prior to the issue of SET FEATURES - XFER MODE command. The
+optional ``->mode_filter()`` hook is called when libata has built a mask of
+the possible modes. This is passed to the ``->mode_filter()`` function
+which should return a mask of valid modes after filtering those
+unsuitable due to hardware limits. It is not valid to use this interface
+to add modes.
+
+``dev->pio_mode`` and ``dev->dma_mode`` are guaranteed to be valid when
+``->set_piomode()`` and when ``->set_dmamode()`` is called. The timings for
+any other drive sharing the cable will also be valid at this point. That
+is the library records the decisions for the modes of each drive on a
+channel before it attempts to set any of them.
+
+``->post_set_mode()`` is called unconditionally, after the SET FEATURES -
+XFER MODE command completes successfully.
+
+``->set_piomode()`` is always called (if present), but ``->set_dma_mode()``
+is only called if DMA is possible.
+
+Taskfile read/write
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*sff_tf_load) (struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_taskfile *tf);
+ void (*sff_tf_read) (struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_taskfile *tf);
+
+
+``->tf_load()`` is called to load the given taskfile into hardware
+registers / DMA buffers. ``->tf_read()`` is called to read the hardware
+registers / DMA buffers, to obtain the current set of taskfile register
+values. Most drivers for taskfile-based hardware (PIO or MMIO) use
+:c:func:`ata_sff_tf_load` and :c:func:`ata_sff_tf_read` for these hooks.
+
+PIO data read/write
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*sff_data_xfer) (struct ata_device *, unsigned char *, unsigned int, int);
+
+
+All bmdma-style drivers must implement this hook. This is the low-level
+operation that actually copies the data bytes during a PIO data
+transfer. Typically the driver will choose one of
+:c:func:`ata_sff_data_xfer_noirq`, :c:func:`ata_sff_data_xfer`, or
+:c:func:`ata_sff_data_xfer32`.
+
+ATA command execute
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*sff_exec_command)(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_taskfile *tf);
+
+
+causes an ATA command, previously loaded with ``->tf_load()``, to be
+initiated in hardware. Most drivers for taskfile-based hardware use
+:c:func:`ata_sff_exec_command` for this hook.
+
+Per-cmd ATAPI DMA capabilities filter
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ int (*check_atapi_dma) (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc);
+
+
+Allow low-level driver to filter ATA PACKET commands, returning a status
+indicating whether or not it is OK to use DMA for the supplied PACKET
+command.
+
+This hook may be specified as NULL, in which case libata will assume
+that atapi dma can be supported.
+
+Read specific ATA shadow registers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ u8 (*sff_check_status)(struct ata_port *ap);
+ u8 (*sff_check_altstatus)(struct ata_port *ap);
+
+
+Reads the Status/AltStatus ATA shadow register from hardware. On some
+hardware, reading the Status register has the side effect of clearing
+the interrupt condition. Most drivers for taskfile-based hardware use
+:c:func:`ata_sff_check_status` for this hook.
+
+Write specific ATA shadow register
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*sff_set_devctl)(struct ata_port *ap, u8 ctl);
+
+
+Write the device control ATA shadow register to the hardware. Most
+drivers don't need to define this.
+
+Select ATA device on bus
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*sff_dev_select)(struct ata_port *ap, unsigned int device);
+
+
+Issues the low-level hardware command(s) that causes one of N hardware
+devices to be considered 'selected' (active and available for use) on
+the ATA bus. This generally has no meaning on FIS-based devices.
+
+Most drivers for taskfile-based hardware use :c:func:`ata_sff_dev_select` for
+this hook.
+
+Private tuning method
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*set_mode) (struct ata_port *ap);
+
+
+By default libata performs drive and controller tuning in accordance
+with the ATA timing rules and also applies blacklists and cable limits.
+Some controllers need special handling and have custom tuning rules,
+typically raid controllers that use ATA commands but do not actually do
+drive timing.
+
+ **Warning**
+
+ This hook should not be used to replace the standard controller
+ tuning logic when a controller has quirks. Replacing the default
+ tuning logic in that case would bypass handling for drive and bridge
+ quirks that may be important to data reliability. If a controller
+ needs to filter the mode selection it should use the mode_filter
+ hook instead.
+
+Control PCI IDE BMDMA engine
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*bmdma_setup) (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc);
+ void (*bmdma_start) (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc);
+ void (*bmdma_stop) (struct ata_port *ap);
+ u8 (*bmdma_status) (struct ata_port *ap);
+
+
+When setting up an IDE BMDMA transaction, these hooks arm
+(``->bmdma_setup``), fire (``->bmdma_start``), and halt (``->bmdma_stop``) the
+hardware's DMA engine. ``->bmdma_status`` is used to read the standard PCI
+IDE DMA Status register.
+
+These hooks are typically either no-ops, or simply not implemented, in
+FIS-based drivers.
+
+Most legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_bmdma_setup` for the
+:c:func:`bmdma_setup` hook. :c:func:`ata_bmdma_setup` will write the pointer
+to the PRD table to the IDE PRD Table Address register, enable DMA in the DMA
+Command register, and call :c:func:`exec_command` to begin the transfer.
+
+Most legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_bmdma_start` for the
+:c:func:`bmdma_start` hook. :c:func:`ata_bmdma_start` will write the
+ATA_DMA_START flag to the DMA Command register.
+
+Many legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_bmdma_stop` for the
+:c:func:`bmdma_stop` hook. :c:func:`ata_bmdma_stop` clears the ATA_DMA_START
+flag in the DMA command register.
+
+Many legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_bmdma_status` as the
+:c:func:`bmdma_status` hook.
+
+High-level taskfile hooks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*qc_prep) (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc);
+ int (*qc_issue) (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc);
+
+
+Higher-level hooks, these two hooks can potentially supercede several of
+the above taskfile/DMA engine hooks. ``->qc_prep`` is called after the
+buffers have been DMA-mapped, and is typically used to populate the
+hardware's DMA scatter-gather table. Most drivers use the standard
+:c:func:`ata_qc_prep` helper function, but more advanced drivers roll their
+own.
+
+``->qc_issue`` is used to make a command active, once the hardware and S/G
+tables have been prepared. IDE BMDMA drivers use the helper function
+:c:func:`ata_qc_issue_prot` for taskfile protocol-based dispatch. More
+advanced drivers implement their own ``->qc_issue``.
+
+:c:func:`ata_qc_issue_prot` calls ``->tf_load()``, ``->bmdma_setup()``, and
+``->bmdma_start()`` as necessary to initiate a transfer.
+
+Exception and probe handling (EH)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ void (*eng_timeout) (struct ata_port *ap);
+ void (*phy_reset) (struct ata_port *ap);
+
+
+Deprecated. Use ``->error_handler()`` instead.
+
+::
+
+ void (*freeze) (struct ata_port *ap);
+ void (*thaw) (struct ata_port *ap);
+
+
+:c:func:`ata_port_freeze` is called when HSM violations or some other
+condition disrupts normal operation of the port. A frozen port is not
+allowed to perform any operation until the port is thawed, which usually
+follows a successful reset.
+
+The optional ``->freeze()`` callback can be used for freezing the port
+hardware-wise (e.g. mask interrupt and stop DMA engine). If a port
+cannot be frozen hardware-wise, the interrupt handler must ack and clear
+interrupts unconditionally while the port is frozen.
+
+The optional ``->thaw()`` callback is called to perform the opposite of
+``->freeze()``: prepare the port for normal operation once again. Unmask
+interrupts, start DMA engine, etc.
+
+::
+
+ void (*error_handler) (struct ata_port *ap);
+
+
+``->error_handler()`` is a driver's hook into probe, hotplug, and recovery
+and other exceptional conditions. The primary responsibility of an
+implementation is to call :c:func:`ata_do_eh` or :c:func:`ata_bmdma_drive_eh`
+with a set of EH hooks as arguments:
+
+'prereset' hook (may be NULL) is called during an EH reset, before any
+other actions are taken.
+
+'postreset' hook (may be NULL) is called after the EH reset is
+performed. Based on existing conditions, severity of the problem, and
+hardware capabilities,
+
+Either 'softreset' (may be NULL) or 'hardreset' (may be NULL) will be
+called to perform the low-level EH reset.
+
+::
+
+ void (*post_internal_cmd) (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc);
+
+
+Perform any hardware-specific actions necessary to finish processing
+after executing a probe-time or EH-time command via
+:c:func:`ata_exec_internal`.
+
+Hardware interrupt handling
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ irqreturn_t (*irq_handler)(int, void *, struct pt_regs *);
+ void (*irq_clear) (struct ata_port *);
+
+
+``->irq_handler`` is the interrupt handling routine registered with the
+system, by libata. ``->irq_clear`` is called during probe just before the
+interrupt handler is registered, to be sure hardware is quiet.
+
+The second argument, dev_instance, should be cast to a pointer to
+:c:type:`struct ata_host_set <ata_host_set>`.
+
+Most legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_sff_interrupt` for the irq_handler
+hook, which scans all ports in the host_set, determines which queued
+command was active (if any), and calls ata_sff_host_intr(ap,qc).
+
+Most legacy IDE drivers use :c:func:`ata_sff_irq_clear` for the
+:c:func:`irq_clear` hook, which simply clears the interrupt and error flags
+in the DMA status register.
+
+SATA phy read/write
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ int (*scr_read) (struct ata_port *ap, unsigned int sc_reg,
+ u32 *val);
+ int (*scr_write) (struct ata_port *ap, unsigned int sc_reg,
+ u32 val);
+
+
+Read and write standard SATA phy registers. Currently only used if
+``->phy_reset`` hook called the :c:func:`sata_phy_reset` helper function.
+sc_reg is one of SCR_STATUS, SCR_CONTROL, SCR_ERROR, or SCR_ACTIVE.
+
+Init and shutdown
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ int (*port_start) (struct ata_port *ap);
+ void (*port_stop) (struct ata_port *ap);
+ void (*host_stop) (struct ata_host_set *host_set);
+
+
+``->port_start()`` is called just after the data structures for each port
+are initialized. Typically this is used to alloc per-port DMA buffers /
+tables / rings, enable DMA engines, and similar tasks. Some drivers also
+use this entry point as a chance to allocate driver-private memory for
+``ap->private_data``.
+
+Many drivers use :c:func:`ata_port_start` as this hook or call it from their
+own :c:func:`port_start` hooks. :c:func:`ata_port_start` allocates space for
+a legacy IDE PRD table and returns.
+
+``->port_stop()`` is called after ``->host_stop()``. Its sole function is to
+release DMA/memory resources, now that they are no longer actively being
+used. Many drivers also free driver-private data from port at this time.
+
+``->host_stop()`` is called after all ``->port_stop()`` calls have completed.
+The hook must finalize hardware shutdown, release DMA and other
+resources, etc. This hook may be specified as NULL, in which case it is
+not called.
+
+Error handling
+==============
+
+This chapter describes how errors are handled under libata. Readers are
+advised to read SCSI EH (Documentation/scsi/scsi_eh.txt) and ATA
+exceptions doc first.
+
+Origins of commands
+-------------------
+
+In libata, a command is represented with
+:c:type:`struct ata_queued_cmd <ata_queued_cmd>` or qc.
+qc's are preallocated during port initialization and repetitively used
+for command executions. Currently only one qc is allocated per port but
+yet-to-be-merged NCQ branch allocates one for each tag and maps each qc
+to NCQ tag 1-to-1.
+
+libata commands can originate from two sources - libata itself and SCSI
+midlayer. libata internal commands are used for initialization and error
+handling. All normal blk requests and commands for SCSI emulation are
+passed as SCSI commands through queuecommand callback of SCSI host
+template.
+
+How commands are issued
+-----------------------
+
+Internal commands
+ First, qc is allocated and initialized using :c:func:`ata_qc_new_init`.
+ Although :c:func:`ata_qc_new_init` doesn't implement any wait or retry
+ mechanism when qc is not available, internal commands are currently
+ issued only during initialization and error recovery, so no other
+ command is active and allocation is guaranteed to succeed.
+
+ Once allocated qc's taskfile is initialized for the command to be
+ executed. qc currently has two mechanisms to notify completion. One
+ is via ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback and the other is completion
+ ``qc->waiting``. ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback is the asynchronous path
+ used by normal SCSI translated commands and ``qc->waiting`` is the
+ synchronous (issuer sleeps in process context) path used by internal
+ commands.
+
+ Once initialization is complete, host_set lock is acquired and the
+ qc is issued.
+
+SCSI commands
+ All libata drivers use :c:func:`ata_scsi_queuecmd` as
+ ``hostt->queuecommand`` callback. scmds can either be simulated or
+ translated. No qc is involved in processing a simulated scmd. The
+ result is computed right away and the scmd is completed.
+
+ For a translated scmd, :c:func:`ata_qc_new_init` is invoked to allocate a
+ qc and the scmd is translated into the qc. SCSI midlayer's
+ completion notification function pointer is stored into
+ ``qc->scsidone``.
+
+ ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback is used for completion notification. ATA
+ commands use :c:func:`ata_scsi_qc_complete` while ATAPI commands use
+ :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete`. Both functions end up calling ``qc->scsidone``
+ to notify upper layer when the qc is finished. After translation is
+ completed, the qc is issued with :c:func:`ata_qc_issue`.
+
+ Note that SCSI midlayer invokes hostt->queuecommand while holding
+ host_set lock, so all above occur while holding host_set lock.
+
+How commands are processed
+--------------------------
+
+Depending on which protocol and which controller are used, commands are
+processed differently. For the purpose of discussion, a controller which
+uses taskfile interface and all standard callbacks is assumed.
+
+Currently 6 ATA command protocols are used. They can be sorted into the
+following four categories according to how they are processed.
+
+ATA NO DATA or DMA
+ ATA_PROT_NODATA and ATA_PROT_DMA fall into this category. These
+ types of commands don't require any software intervention once
+ issued. Device will raise interrupt on completion.
+
+ATA PIO
+ ATA_PROT_PIO is in this category. libata currently implements PIO
+ with polling. ATA_NIEN bit is set to turn off interrupt and
+ pio_task on ata_wq performs polling and IO.
+
+ATAPI NODATA or DMA
+ ATA_PROT_ATAPI_NODATA and ATA_PROT_ATAPI_DMA are in this
+ category. packet_task is used to poll BSY bit after issuing PACKET
+ command. Once BSY is turned off by the device, packet_task
+ transfers CDB and hands off processing to interrupt handler.
+
+ATAPI PIO
+ ATA_PROT_ATAPI is in this category. ATA_NIEN bit is set and, as
+ in ATAPI NODATA or DMA, packet_task submits cdb. However, after
+ submitting cdb, further processing (data transfer) is handed off to
+ pio_task.
+
+How commands are completed
+--------------------------
+
+Once issued, all qc's are either completed with :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` or
+time out. For commands which are handled by interrupts,
+:c:func:`ata_host_intr` invokes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`, and, for PIO tasks,
+pio_task invokes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`. In error cases, packet_task may
+also complete commands.
+
+:c:func:`ata_qc_complete` does the following.
+
+1. DMA memory is unmapped.
+
+2. ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE is cleared from qc->flags.
+
+3. :c:func:`qc->complete_fn` callback is invoked. If the return value of the
+ callback is not zero. Completion is short circuited and
+ :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` returns.
+
+4. :c:func:`__ata_qc_complete` is called, which does
+
+ 1. ``qc->flags`` is cleared to zero.
+
+ 2. ``ap->active_tag`` and ``qc->tag`` are poisoned.
+
+ 3. ``qc->waiting`` is cleared & completed (in that order).
+
+ 4. qc is deallocated by clearing appropriate bit in ``ap->qactive``.
+
+So, it basically notifies upper layer and deallocates qc. One exception
+is short-circuit path in #3 which is used by :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete`.
+
+For all non-ATAPI commands, whether it fails or not, almost the same
+code path is taken and very little error handling takes place. A qc is
+completed with success status if it succeeded, with failed status
+otherwise.
+
+However, failed ATAPI commands require more handling as REQUEST SENSE is
+needed to acquire sense data. If an ATAPI command fails,
+:c:func:`ata_qc_complete` is invoked with error status, which in turn invokes
+:c:func:`atapi_qc_complete` via ``qc->complete_fn()`` callback.
+
+This makes :c:func:`atapi_qc_complete` set ``scmd->result`` to
+SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION, complete the scmd and return 1. As the
+sense data is empty but ``scmd->result`` is CHECK CONDITION, SCSI midlayer
+will invoke EH for the scmd, and returning 1 makes :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`
+to return without deallocating the qc. This leads us to
+:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` with partially completed qc.
+
+:c:func:`ata_scsi_error`
+------------------------
+
+:c:func:`ata_scsi_error` is the current ``transportt->eh_strategy_handler()``
+for libata. As discussed above, this will be entered in two cases -
+timeout and ATAPI error completion. This function calls low level libata
+driver's :c:func:`eng_timeout` callback, the standard callback for which is
+:c:func:`ata_eng_timeout`. It checks if a qc is active and calls
+:c:func:`ata_qc_timeout` on the qc if so. Actual error handling occurs in
+:c:func:`ata_qc_timeout`.
+
+If EH is invoked for timeout, :c:func:`ata_qc_timeout` stops BMDMA and
+completes the qc. Note that as we're currently in EH, we cannot call
+scsi_done. As described in SCSI EH doc, a recovered scmd should be
+either retried with :c:func:`scsi_queue_insert` or finished with
+:c:func:`scsi_finish_command`. Here, we override ``qc->scsidone`` with
+:c:func:`scsi_finish_command` and calls :c:func:`ata_qc_complete`.
+
+If EH is invoked due to a failed ATAPI qc, the qc here is completed but
+not deallocated. The purpose of this half-completion is to use the qc as
+place holder to make EH code reach this place. This is a bit hackish,
+but it works.
+
+Once control reaches here, the qc is deallocated by invoking
+:c:func:`__ata_qc_complete` explicitly. Then, internal qc for REQUEST SENSE
+is issued. Once sense data is acquired, scmd is finished by directly
+invoking :c:func:`scsi_finish_command` on the scmd. Note that as we already
+have completed and deallocated the qc which was associated with the
+scmd, we don't need to/cannot call :c:func:`ata_qc_complete` again.
+
+Problems with the current EH
+----------------------------
+
+- Error representation is too crude. Currently any and all error
+ conditions are represented with ATA STATUS and ERROR registers.
+ Errors which aren't ATA device errors are treated as ATA device
+ errors by setting ATA_ERR bit. Better error descriptor which can
+ properly represent ATA and other errors/exceptions is needed.
+
+- When handling timeouts, no action is taken to make device forget
+ about the timed out command and ready for new commands.
+
+- EH handling via :c:func:`ata_scsi_error` is not properly protected from
+ usual command processing. On EH entrance, the device is not in
+ quiescent state. Timed out commands may succeed or fail any time.
+ pio_task and atapi_task may still be running.
+
+- Too weak error recovery. Devices / controllers causing HSM mismatch
+ errors and other errors quite often require reset to return to known
+ state. Also, advanced error handling is necessary to support features
+ like NCQ and hotplug.
+
+- ATA errors are directly handled in the interrupt handler and PIO
+ errors in pio_task. This is problematic for advanced error handling
+ for the following reasons.
+
+ First, advanced error handling often requires context and internal qc
+ execution.
+
+ Second, even a simple failure (say, CRC error) needs information
+ gathering and could trigger complex error handling (say, resetting &
+ reconfiguring). Having multiple code paths to gather information,
+ enter EH and trigger actions makes life painful.
+
+ Third, scattered EH code makes implementing low level drivers
+ difficult. Low level drivers override libata callbacks. If EH is
+ scattered over several places, each affected callbacks should perform
+ its part of error handling. This can be error prone and painful.

+
+ATA errors and exceptions
+=========================
+
+This chapter tries to identify what error/exception conditions exist for
+ATA/ATAPI devices and describe how they should be handled in
+implementation-neutral way.
+
+The term 'error' is used to describe conditions where either an explicit
+error condition is reported from device or a command has timed out.
+
+The term 'exception' is either used to describe exceptional conditions
+which are not errors (say, power or hotplug events), or to describe both
+errors and non-error exceptional conditions. Where explicit distinction
+between error and exception is necessary, the term 'non-error exception'
+is used.
+
+Exception categories
+--------------------
+
+Exceptions are described primarily with respect to legacy taskfile + bus
+master IDE interface. If a controller provides other better mechanism
+for error reporting, mapping those into categories described below
+shouldn't be difficult.
+
+In the following sections, two recovery actions - reset and
+reconfiguring transport - are mentioned. These are described further in
+`EH recovery actions <#exrec>`__.
+
+HSM violation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This error is indicated when STATUS value doesn't match HSM requirement
+during issuing or execution any ATA/ATAPI command.
+
+- ATA_STATUS doesn't contain !BSY && DRDY && !DRQ while trying to
+ issue a command.
+
+- !BSY && !DRQ during PIO data transfer.
+
+- DRQ on command completion.
+
+- !BSY && ERR after CDB transfer starts but before the last byte of CDB
+ is transferred. ATA/ATAPI standard states that "The device shall not
+ terminate the PACKET command with an error before the last byte of
+ the command packet has been written" in the error outputs description
+ of PACKET command and the state diagram doesn't include such
+ transitions.
+
+In these cases, HSM is violated and not much information regarding the
+error can be acquired from STATUS or ERROR register. IOW, this error can
+be anything - driver bug, faulty device, controller and/or cable.
+
+As HSM is violated, reset is necessary to restore known state.
+Reconfiguring transport for lower speed might be helpful too as
+transmission errors sometimes cause this kind of errors.
+
+ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These are errors detected and reported by ATA/ATAPI devices indicating
+device problems. For this type of errors, STATUS and ERROR register
+values are valid and describe error condition. Note that some of ATA bus
+errors are detected by ATA/ATAPI devices and reported using the same
+mechanism as device errors. Those cases are described later in this
+section.
+
+For ATA commands, this type of errors are indicated by !BSY && ERR
+during command execution and on completion.
+
+For ATAPI commands,
+
+- !BSY && ERR && ABRT right after issuing PACKET indicates that PACKET
+ command is not supported and falls in this category.
+
+- !BSY && ERR(==CHK) && !ABRT after the last byte of CDB is transferred
+ indicates CHECK CONDITION and doesn't fall in this category.
+
+- !BSY && ERR(==CHK) && ABRT after the last byte of CDB is transferred
+ \*probably\* indicates CHECK CONDITION and doesn't fall in this
+ category.
+
+Of errors detected as above, the following are not ATA/ATAPI device
+errors but ATA bus errors and should be handled according to
+`ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__.
+
+CRC error during data transfer
+ This is indicated by ICRC bit in the ERROR register and means that
+ corruption occurred during data transfer. Up to ATA/ATAPI-7, the
+ standard specifies that this bit is only applicable to UDMA
+ transfers but ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f says that the bit may be
+ applicable to multiword DMA and PIO.
+
+ABRT error during data transfer or on completion
+ Up to ATA/ATAPI-7, the standard specifies that ABRT could be set on
+ ICRC errors and on cases where a device is not able to complete a
+ command. Combined with the fact that MWDMA and PIO transfer errors
+ aren't allowed to use ICRC bit up to ATA/ATAPI-7, it seems to imply
+ that ABRT bit alone could indicate transfer errors.
+
+ However, ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f removes the part that ICRC
+ errors can turn on ABRT. So, this is kind of gray area. Some
+ heuristics are needed here.
+
+ATA/ATAPI device errors can be further categorized as follows.
+
+Media errors
+ This is indicated by UNC bit in the ERROR register. ATA devices
+ reports UNC error only after certain number of retries cannot
+ recover the data, so there's nothing much else to do other than
+ notifying upper layer.
+
+ READ and WRITE commands report CHS or LBA of the first failed sector
+ but ATA/ATAPI standard specifies that the amount of transferred data
+ on error completion is indeterminate, so we cannot assume that
+ sectors preceding the failed sector have been transferred and thus
+ cannot complete those sectors successfully as SCSI does.
+
+Media changed / media change requested error
+ <<TODO: fill here>>
+
+Address error
+ This is indicated by IDNF bit in the ERROR register. Report to upper
+ layer.
+
+Other errors
+ This can be invalid command or parameter indicated by ABRT ERROR bit
+ or some other error condition. Note that ABRT bit can indicate a lot
+ of things including ICRC and Address errors. Heuristics needed.
+
+Depending on commands, not all STATUS/ERROR bits are applicable. These
+non-applicable bits are marked with "na" in the output descriptions but
+up to ATA/ATAPI-7 no definition of "na" can be found. However,
+ATA/ATAPI-8 draft revision 1f describes "N/A" as follows.
+
+ 3.2.3.3a N/A
+ A keyword the indicates a field has no defined value in this
+ standard and should not be checked by the host or device. N/A
+ fields should be cleared to zero.
+
+So, it seems reasonable to assume that "na" bits are cleared to zero by
+devices and thus need no explicit masking.
+
+ATAPI device CHECK CONDITION
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ATAPI device CHECK CONDITION error is indicated by set CHK bit (ERR bit)
+in the STATUS register after the last byte of CDB is transferred for a
+PACKET command. For this kind of errors, sense data should be acquired
+to gather information regarding the errors. REQUEST SENSE packet command
+should be used to acquire sense data.
+
+Once sense data is acquired, this type of errors can be handled
+similarly to other SCSI errors. Note that sense data may indicate ATA
+bus error (e.g. Sense Key 04h HARDWARE ERROR && ASC/ASCQ 47h/00h SCSI
+PARITY ERROR). In such cases, the error should be considered as an ATA
+bus error and handled according to `ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__.
+
+ATA device error (NCQ)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+NCQ command error is indicated by cleared BSY and set ERR bit during NCQ
+command phase (one or more NCQ commands outstanding). Although STATUS
+and ERROR registers will contain valid values describing the error, READ
+LOG EXT is required to clear the error condition, determine which
+command has failed and acquire more information.
+
+READ LOG EXT Log Page 10h reports which tag has failed and taskfile
+register values describing the error. With this information the failed
+command can be handled as a normal ATA command error as in
+`ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) <#excatDevErr>`__
+and all other in-flight commands must be retried. Note that this retry
+should not be counted - it's likely that commands retried this way would
+have completed normally if it were not for the failed command.
+
+Note that ATA bus errors can be reported as ATA device NCQ errors. This
+should be handled as described in `ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__.
+
+If READ LOG EXT Log Page 10h fails or reports NQ, we're thoroughly
+screwed. This condition should be treated according to
+`HSM violation <#excatHSMviolation>`__.
+
+ATA bus error
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission
+over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
+
+- ICRC or ABRT error as described in
+ `ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION) <#excatDevErr>`__.
+
+- Controller-specific error completion with error information
+ indicating transmission error.
+
+- On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a
+ mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
+
+- Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
+
+As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of
+symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and,
+for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to
+transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind
+of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example,
+encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is
+likely to indicate ATA bus error.
+
+Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred,
+lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may
+alleviate the problem. See `Reconfigure transport <#exrecReconf>`__ for
+more information.
+
+PCI bus error
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Data corruption or other failures during transmission over PCI (or other
+system bus). For standard BMDMA, this is indicated by Error bit in the
+BMDMA Status register. This type of errors must be logged as it
+indicates something is very wrong with the system. Resetting host
+controller is recommended.
+
+Late completion
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This occurs when timeout occurs and the timeout handler finds out that
+the timed out command has completed successfully or with error. This is
+usually caused by lost interrupts. This type of errors must be logged.
+Resetting host controller is recommended.
+
+Unknown error (timeout)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is when timeout occurs and the command is still processing or the
+host and device are in unknown state. When this occurs, HSM could be in
+any valid or invalid state. To bring the device to known state and make
+it forget about the timed out command, resetting is necessary. The timed
+out command may be retried.
+
+Timeouts can also be caused by transmission errors. Refer to
+`ATA bus error <#excatATAbusErr>`__ for more details.
+
+Hotplug and power management exceptions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+<<TODO: fill here>>
+
+EH recovery actions
+-------------------
+
+This section discusses several important recovery actions.
+
+Clearing error condition
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Many controllers require its error registers to be cleared by error
+handler. Different controllers may have different requirements.
+
+For SATA, it's strongly recommended to clear at least SError register
+during error handling.
+
+Reset
+~~~~~
+
+During EH, resetting is necessary in the following cases.
+
+- HSM is in unknown or invalid state
+
+- HBA is in unknown or invalid state
+
+- EH needs to make HBA/device forget about in-flight commands
+
+- HBA/device behaves weirdly
+
+Resetting during EH might be a good idea regardless of error condition
+to improve EH robustness. Whether to reset both or either one of HBA and
+device depends on situation but the following scheme is recommended.
+
+- When it's known that HBA is in ready state but ATA/ATAPI device is in
+ unknown state, reset only device.
+
+- If HBA is in unknown state, reset both HBA and device.
+
+HBA resetting is implementation specific. For a controller complying to
+taskfile/BMDMA PCI IDE, stopping active DMA transaction may be
+sufficient iff BMDMA state is the only HBA context. But even mostly
+taskfile/BMDMA PCI IDE complying controllers may have implementation
+specific requirements and mechanism to reset themselves. This must be
+addressed by specific drivers.
+
+OTOH, ATA/ATAPI standard describes in detail ways to reset ATA/ATAPI
+devices.
+
+PATA hardware reset
+ This is hardware initiated device reset signalled with asserted PATA
+ RESET- signal. There is no standard way to initiate hardware reset
+ from software although some hardware provides registers that allow
+ driver to directly tweak the RESET- signal.
+
+Software reset
+ This is achieved by turning CONTROL SRST bit on for at least 5us.
+ Both PATA and SATA support it but, in case of SATA, this may require
+ controller-specific support as the second Register FIS to clear SRST
+ should be transmitted while BSY bit is still set. Note that on PATA,
+ this resets both master and slave devices on a channel.
+
+EXECUTE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command
+ Although ATA/ATAPI standard doesn't describe exactly, EDD implies
+ some level of resetting, possibly similar level with software reset.
+ Host-side EDD protocol can be handled with normal command processing
+ and most SATA controllers should be able to handle EDD's just like
+ other commands. As in software reset, EDD affects both devices on a
+ PATA bus.
+
+ Although EDD does reset devices, this doesn't suit error handling as
+ EDD cannot be issued while BSY is set and it's unclear how it will
+ act when device is in unknown/weird state.
+
+ATAPI DEVICE RESET command
+ This is very similar to software reset except that reset can be
+ restricted to the selected device without affecting the other device
+ sharing the cable.
+
+SATA phy reset
+ This is the preferred way of resetting a SATA device. In effect,
+ it's identical to PATA hardware reset. Note that this can be done
+ with the standard SCR Control register. As such, it's usually easier
+ to implement than software reset.
+
+One more thing to consider when resetting devices is that resetting
+clears certain configuration parameters and they need to be set to their
+previous or newly adjusted values after reset.
+
+Parameters affected are.
+
+- CHS set up with INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS (seldom used)
+
+- Parameters set with SET FEATURES including transfer mode setting
+
+- Block count set with SET MULTIPLE MODE
+
+- Other parameters (SET MAX, MEDIA LOCK...)
+
+ATA/ATAPI standard specifies that some parameters must be maintained
+across hardware or software reset, but doesn't strictly specify all of
+them. Always reconfiguring needed parameters after reset is required for
+robustness. Note that this also applies when resuming from deep sleep
+(power-off).
+
+Also, ATA/ATAPI standard requires that IDENTIFY DEVICE / IDENTIFY PACKET
+DEVICE is issued after any configuration parameter is updated or a
+hardware reset and the result used for further operation. OS driver is
+required to implement revalidation mechanism to support this.
+
+Reconfigure transport
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For both PATA and SATA, a lot of corners are cut for cheap connectors,
+cables or controllers and it's quite common to see high transmission
+error rate. This can be mitigated by lowering transmission speed.
+
+The following is a possible scheme Jeff Garzik suggested.
+
+ If more than $N (3?) transmission errors happen in 15 minutes,
+
+ - if SATA, decrease SATA PHY speed. if speed cannot be decreased,
+
+ - decrease UDMA xfer speed. if at UDMA0, switch to PIO4,
+
+ - decrease PIO xfer speed. if at PIO3, complain, but continue

+MTD NAND Driver Programming Interface
+=====================================
+
+:Author: Thomas Gleixner
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The generic NAND driver supports almost all NAND and AG-AND based chips
+and connects them to the Memory Technology Devices (MTD) subsystem of
+the Linux Kernel.
+
+This documentation is provided for developers who want to implement
+board drivers or filesystem drivers suitable for NAND devices.
+
+Known Bugs And Assumptions
+==========================
+
+None.
+
+Documentation hints
+===================
+
+The function and structure docs are autogenerated. Each function and
+struct member has a short description which is marked with an [XXX]
+identifier. The following chapters explain the meaning of those
+identifiers.
+
+Function identifiers [XXX]
+--------------------------
+
+The functions are marked with [XXX] identifiers in the short comment.
+The identifiers explain the usage and scope of the functions. Following
+identifiers are used:
+
+- [MTD Interface]
+
+ These functions provide the interface to the MTD kernel API. They are
+ not replaceable and provide functionality which is complete hardware
+ independent.
+
+- [NAND Interface]
+
+ These functions are exported and provide the interface to the NAND
+ kernel API.
+
+- [GENERIC]
+
+ Generic functions are not replaceable and provide functionality which
+ is complete hardware independent.
+
+- [DEFAULT]
+
+ Default functions provide hardware related functionality which is
+ suitable for most of the implementations. These functions can be
+ replaced by the board driver if necessary. Those functions are called
+ via pointers in the NAND chip description structure. The board driver
+ can set the functions which should be replaced by board dependent
+ functions before calling nand_scan(). If the function pointer is
+ NULL on entry to nand_scan() then the pointer is set to the default
+ function which is suitable for the detected chip type.
+
+Struct member identifiers [XXX]
+-------------------------------
+
+The struct members are marked with [XXX] identifiers in the comment. The
+identifiers explain the usage and scope of the members. Following
+identifiers are used:
+
+- [INTERN]
+
+ These members are for NAND driver internal use only and must not be
+ modified. Most of these values are calculated from the chip geometry
+ information which is evaluated during nand_scan().
+
+- [REPLACEABLE]
+
+ Replaceable members hold hardware related functions which can be
+ provided by the board driver. The board driver can set the functions
+ which should be replaced by board dependent functions before calling
+ nand_scan(). If the function pointer is NULL on entry to
+ nand_scan() then the pointer is set to the default function which is
+ suitable for the detected chip type.
+
+- [BOARDSPECIFIC]
+
+ Board specific members hold hardware related information which must
+ be provided by the board driver. The board driver must set the
+ function pointers and datafields before calling nand_scan().
+
+- [OPTIONAL]
+
+ Optional members can hold information relevant for the board driver.
+ The generic NAND driver code does not use this information.
+
+Basic board driver
+==================
+
+For most boards it will be sufficient to provide just the basic
+functions and fill out some really board dependent members in the nand
+chip description structure.
+
+Basic defines
+-------------
+
+At least you have to provide a nand_chip structure and a storage for
+the ioremap'ed chip address. You can allocate the nand_chip structure
+using kmalloc or you can allocate it statically. The NAND chip structure
+embeds an mtd structure which will be registered to the MTD subsystem.
+You can extract a pointer to the mtd structure from a nand_chip pointer
+using the nand_to_mtd() helper.
+
+Kmalloc based example
+
+::
+
+ static struct mtd_info *board_mtd;
+ static void __iomem *baseaddr;
+
+
+Static example
+
+::
+
+ static struct nand_chip board_chip;
+ static void __iomem *baseaddr;
+
+
+Partition defines
+-----------------
+
+If you want to divide your device into partitions, then define a
+partitioning scheme suitable to your board.
+
+::
+
+ #define NUM_PARTITIONS 2
+ static struct mtd_partition partition_info[] = {
+ { .name = "Flash partition 1",
+ .offset = 0,
+ .size = 8 * 1024 * 1024 },
+ { .name = "Flash partition 2",
+ .offset = MTDPART_OFS_NEXT,
+ .size = MTDPART_SIZ_FULL },
+ };
+
+
+Hardware control function
+-------------------------
+
+The hardware control function provides access to the control pins of the
+NAND chip(s). The access can be done by GPIO pins or by address lines.
+If you use address lines, make sure that the timing requirements are
+met.
+
+*GPIO based example*
+
+::
+
+ static void board_hwcontrol(struct mtd_info *mtd, int cmd)
+ {
+ switch(cmd){
+ case NAND_CTL_SETCLE: /* Set CLE pin high */ break;
+ case NAND_CTL_CLRCLE: /* Set CLE pin low */ break;
+ case NAND_CTL_SETALE: /* Set ALE pin high */ break;
+ case NAND_CTL_CLRALE: /* Set ALE pin low */ break;
+ case NAND_CTL_SETNCE: /* Set nCE pin low */ break;
+ case NAND_CTL_CLRNCE: /* Set nCE pin high */ break;
+ }
+ }
+
+
+*Address lines based example.* It's assumed that the nCE pin is driven
+by a chip select decoder.
+
+::
+
+ static void board_hwcontrol(struct mtd_info *mtd, int cmd)
+ {
+ struct nand_chip *this = mtd_to_nand(mtd);
+ switch(cmd){
+ case NAND_CTL_SETCLE: this->IO_ADDR_W |= CLE_ADRR_BIT; break;
+ case NAND_CTL_CLRCLE: this->IO_ADDR_W &= ~CLE_ADRR_BIT; break;
+ case NAND_CTL_SETALE: this->IO_ADDR_W |= ALE_ADRR_BIT; break;
+ case NAND_CTL_CLRALE: this->IO_ADDR_W &= ~ALE_ADRR_BIT; break;
+ }
+ }
+
+
+Device ready function
+---------------------
+
+If the hardware interface has the ready busy pin of the NAND chip
+connected to a GPIO or other accessible I/O pin, this function is used
+to read back the state of the pin. The function has no arguments and
+should return 0, if the device is busy (R/B pin is low) and 1, if the
+device is ready (R/B pin is high). If the hardware interface does not
+give access to the ready busy pin, then the function must not be defined
+and the function pointer this->dev_ready is set to NULL.
+
+Init function
+-------------
+
+The init function allocates memory and sets up all the board specific
+parameters and function pointers. When everything is set up nand_scan()
+is called. This function tries to detect and identify then chip. If a
+chip is found all the internal data fields are initialized accordingly.
+The structure(s) have to be zeroed out first and then filled with the
+necessary information about the device.
+
+::
+
+ static int __init board_init (void)
+ {
+ struct nand_chip *this;
+ int err = 0;
+
+ /* Allocate memory for MTD device structure and private data */
+ this = kzalloc(sizeof(struct nand_chip), GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!this) {
+ printk ("Unable to allocate NAND MTD device structure.\n");
+ err = -ENOMEM;
+ goto out;
+ }
+
+ board_mtd = nand_to_mtd(this);
+
+ /* map physical address */
+ baseaddr = ioremap(CHIP_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, 1024);
+ if (!baseaddr) {
+ printk("Ioremap to access NAND chip failed\n");
+ err = -EIO;
+ goto out_mtd;
+ }
+
+ /* Set address of NAND IO lines */
+ this->IO_ADDR_R = baseaddr;
+ this->IO_ADDR_W = baseaddr;
+ /* Reference hardware control function */
+ this->hwcontrol = board_hwcontrol;
+ /* Set command delay time, see datasheet for correct value */
+ this->chip_delay = CHIP_DEPENDEND_COMMAND_DELAY;
+ /* Assign the device ready function, if available */
+ this->dev_ready = board_dev_ready;
+ this->eccmode = NAND_ECC_SOFT;
+
+ /* Scan to find existence of the device */
+ if (nand_scan (board_mtd, 1)) {
+ err = -ENXIO;
+ goto out_ior;
+ }
+
+ add_mtd_partitions(board_mtd, partition_info, NUM_PARTITIONS);
+ goto out;
+
+ out_ior:
+ iounmap(baseaddr);
+ out_mtd:
+ kfree (this);
+ out:
+ return err;
+ }
+ module_init(board_init);
+
+
+Exit function
+-------------
+
+The exit function is only necessary if the driver is compiled as a
+module. It releases all resources which are held by the chip driver and
+unregisters the partitions in the MTD layer.
+
+::
+
+ #ifdef MODULE
+ static void __exit board_cleanup (void)
+ {
+ /* Release resources, unregister device */
+ nand_release (board_mtd);
+
+ /* unmap physical address */
+ iounmap(baseaddr);
+

+Advanced board driver functions
+===============================
+
+This chapter describes the advanced functionality of the NAND driver.
+For a list of functions which can be overridden by the board driver see
+the documentation of the nand_chip structure.
+
+Multiple chip control
+---------------------
+
+The nand driver can control chip arrays. Therefore the board driver must
+provide an own select_chip function. This function must (de)select the
+requested chip. The function pointer in the nand_chip structure must be
+set before calling nand_scan(). The maxchip parameter of nand_scan()
+defines the maximum number of chips to scan for. Make sure that the
+select_chip function can handle the requested number of chips.
+
+The nand driver concatenates the chips to one virtual chip and provides
+this virtual chip to the MTD layer.
+
+*Note: The driver can only handle linear chip arrays of equally sized
+chips. There is no support for parallel arrays which extend the
+buswidth.*
+
+*GPIO based example*
+
+::
+
+ static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip)
+ {
+ /* Deselect all chips, set all nCE pins high */
+ GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) |= 0xff;
+ if (chip >= 0)
+ GPIO(BOARD_NAND_NCE) &= ~ (1 << chip);
+ }
+
+
+*Address lines based example.* Its assumed that the nCE pins are
+connected to an address decoder.
+
+::
+
+ static void board_select_chip (struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip)
+ {
+ struct nand_chip *this = mtd_to_nand(mtd);
+
+ /* Deselect all chips */
+ this->IO_ADDR_R &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK;
+ this->IO_ADDR_W &= ~BOARD_NAND_ADDR_MASK;
+ switch (chip) {
+ case 0:
+ this->IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0;
+ this->IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIP0;
+ break;
+ ....
+ case n:
+ this->IO_ADDR_R |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn;
+ this->IO_ADDR_W |= BOARD_NAND_ADDR_CHIPn;
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+
+
+Hardware ECC support
+--------------------
+
+Functions and constants
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The nand driver supports three different types of hardware ECC.
+
+- NAND_ECC_HW3_256
+
+ Hardware ECC generator providing 3 bytes ECC per 256 byte.
+
+- NAND_ECC_HW3_512
+
+ Hardware ECC generator providing 3 bytes ECC per 512 byte.
+
+- NAND_ECC_HW6_512
+
+ Hardware ECC generator providing 6 bytes ECC per 512 byte.
+
+- NAND_ECC_HW8_512
+
+ Hardware ECC generator providing 6 bytes ECC per 512 byte.
+
+If your hardware generator has a different functionality add it at the
+appropriate place in nand_base.c
+
+The board driver must provide following functions:
+
+- enable_hwecc
+
+ This function is called before reading / writing to the chip. Reset
+ or initialize the hardware generator in this function. The function
+ is called with an argument which let you distinguish between read and
+ write operations.
+
+- calculate_ecc
+
+ This function is called after read / write from / to the chip.
+ Transfer the ECC from the hardware to the buffer. If the option
+ NAND_HWECC_SYNDROME is set then the function is only called on
+ write. See below.
+
+- correct_data
+
+ In case of an ECC error this function is called for error detection
+ and correction. Return 1 respectively 2 in case the error can be
+ corrected. If the error is not correctable return -1. If your
+ hardware generator matches the default algorithm of the nand_ecc
+ software generator then use the correction function provided by
+ nand_ecc instead of implementing duplicated code.
+
+Hardware ECC with syndrome calculation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Many hardware ECC implementations provide Reed-Solomon codes and
+calculate an error syndrome on read. The syndrome must be converted to a
+standard Reed-Solomon syndrome before calling the error correction code
+in the generic Reed-Solomon library.
+
+The ECC bytes must be placed immediately after the data bytes in order
+to make the syndrome generator work. This is contrary to the usual
+layout used by software ECC. The separation of data and out of band area
+is not longer possible. The nand driver code handles this layout and the
+remaining free bytes in the oob area are managed by the autoplacement
+code. Provide a matching oob-layout in this case. See rts_from4.c and
+diskonchip.c for implementation reference. In those cases we must also
+use bad block tables on FLASH, because the ECC layout is interfering
+with the bad block marker positions. See bad block table support for
+details.
+
+Bad block table support
+-----------------------
+
+Most NAND chips mark the bad blocks at a defined position in the spare
+area. Those blocks must not be erased under any circumstances as the bad
+block information would be lost. It is possible to check the bad block
+mark each time when the blocks are accessed by reading the spare area of
+the first page in the block. This is time consuming so a bad block table
+is used.
+
+The nand driver supports various types of bad block tables.
+
+- Per device
+
+ The bad block table contains all bad block information of the device
+ which can consist of multiple chips.
+
+- Per chip
+
+ A bad block table is used per chip and contains the bad block
+ information for this particular chip.
+
+- Fixed offset
+
+ The bad block table is located at a fixed offset in the chip
+ (device). This applies to various DiskOnChip devices.
+
+- Automatic placed
+
+ The bad block table is automatically placed and detected either at
+ the end or at the beginning of a chip (device)
+
+- Mirrored tables
+
+ The bad block table is mirrored on the chip (device) to allow updates
+ of the bad block table without data loss.
+
+nand_scan() calls the function nand_default_bbt().
+nand_default_bbt() selects appropriate default bad block table
+descriptors depending on the chip information which was retrieved by
+nand_scan().
+
+The standard policy is scanning the device for bad blocks and build a
+ram based bad block table which allows faster access than always
+checking the bad block information on the flash chip itself.
+
+Flash based tables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It may be desired or necessary to keep a bad block table in FLASH. For
+AG-AND chips this is mandatory, as they have no factory marked bad
+blocks. They have factory marked good blocks. The marker pattern is
+erased when the block is erased to be reused. So in case of powerloss
+before writing the pattern back to the chip this block would be lost and
+added to the bad blocks. Therefore we scan the chip(s) when we detect
+them the first time for good blocks and store this information in a bad
+block table before erasing any of the blocks.
+
+The blocks in which the tables are stored are protected against
+accidental access by marking them bad in the memory bad block table. The
+bad block table management functions are allowed to circumvent this
+protection.
+
+The simplest way to activate the FLASH based bad block table support is
+to set the option NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH in the bbt_option field of the
+nand chip structure before calling nand_scan(). For AG-AND chips is
+this done by default. This activates the default FLASH based bad block
+table functionality of the NAND driver. The default bad block table
+options are
+
+- Store bad block table per chip
+
+- Use 2 bits per block
+
+- Automatic placement at the end of the chip
+
+- Use mirrored tables with version numbers
+
+- Reserve 4 blocks at the end of the chip
+
+User defined tables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+User defined tables are created by filling out a nand_bbt_descr
+structure and storing the pointer in the nand_chip structure member
+bbt_td before calling nand_scan(). If a mirror table is necessary a
+second structure must be created and a pointer to this structure must be
+stored in bbt_md inside the nand_chip structure. If the bbt_md member
+is set to NULL then only the main table is used and no scan for the
+mirrored table is performed.
+
+The most important field in the nand_bbt_descr structure is the
+options field. The options define most of the table properties. Use the
+predefined constants from nand.h to define the options.
+
+- Number of bits per block
+
+ The supported number of bits is 1, 2, 4, 8.
+
+- Table per chip
+
+ Setting the constant NAND_BBT_PERCHIP selects that a bad block
+ table is managed for each chip in a chip array. If this option is not
+ set then a per device bad block table is used.
+
+- Table location is absolute
+
+ Use the option constant NAND_BBT_ABSPAGE and define the absolute
+ page number where the bad block table starts in the field pages. If
+ you have selected bad block tables per chip and you have a multi chip
+ array then the start page must be given for each chip in the chip
+ array. Note: there is no scan for a table ident pattern performed, so
+ the fields pattern, veroffs, offs, len can be left uninitialized
+
+- Table location is automatically detected
+
+ The table can either be located in the first or the last good blocks
+ of the chip (device). Set NAND_BBT_LASTBLOCK to place the bad block
+ table at the end of the chip (device). The bad block tables are
+ marked and identified by a pattern which is stored in the spare area
+ of the first page in the block which holds the bad block table. Store
+ a pointer to the pattern in the pattern field. Further the length of
+ the pattern has to be stored in len and the offset in the spare area
+ must be given in the offs member of the nand_bbt_descr structure.
+ For mirrored bad block tables different patterns are mandatory.
+
+- Table creation
+
+ Set the option NAND_BBT_CREATE to enable the table creation if no
+ table can be found during the scan. Usually this is done only once if
+ a new chip is found.
+
+- Table write support
+
+ Set the option NAND_BBT_WRITE to enable the table write support.
+ This allows the update of the bad block table(s) in case a block has
+ to be marked bad due to wear. The MTD interface function
+ block_markbad is calling the update function of the bad block table.
+ If the write support is enabled then the table is updated on FLASH.
+
+ Note: Write support should only be enabled for mirrored tables with
+ version control.
+
+- Table version control
+
+ Set the option NAND_BBT_VERSION to enable the table version
+ control. It's highly recommended to enable this for mirrored tables
+ with write support. It makes sure that the risk of losing the bad
+ block table information is reduced to the loss of the information
+ about the one worn out block which should be marked bad. The version
+ is stored in 4 consecutive bytes in the spare area of the device. The
+ position of the version number is defined by the member veroffs in
+ the bad block table descriptor.
+
+- Save block contents on write
+
+ In case that the block which holds the bad block table does contain
+ other useful information, set the option NAND_BBT_SAVECONTENT. When
+ the bad block table is written then the whole block is read the bad
+ block table is updated and the block is erased and everything is
+ written back. If this option is not set only the bad block table is
+ written and everything else in the block is ignored and erased.
+
+- Number of reserved blocks
+
+ For automatic placement some blocks must be reserved for bad block
+ table storage. The number of reserved blocks is defined in the
+ maxblocks member of the bad block table description structure.
+ Reserving 4 blocks for mirrored tables should be a reasonable number.
+ This also limits the number of blocks which are scanned for the bad
+ block table ident pattern.
+
+Spare area (auto)placement
+--------------------------
+
+The nand driver implements different possibilities for placement of
+filesystem data in the spare area,
+
+- Placement defined by fs driver
+
+- Automatic placement
+
+The default placement function is automatic placement. The nand driver
+has built in default placement schemes for the various chiptypes. If due
+to hardware ECC functionality the default placement does not fit then
+the board driver can provide a own placement scheme.
+
+File system drivers can provide a own placement scheme which is used
+instead of the default placement scheme.
+
+Placement schemes are defined by a nand_oobinfo structure
+
+::
+
+ struct nand_oobinfo {
+ int useecc;
+ int eccbytes;
+ int eccpos[24];
+ int oobfree[8][2];
+ };
+
+
+- useecc
+
+ The useecc member controls the ecc and placement function. The header
+ file include/mtd/mtd-abi.h contains constants to select ecc and
+ placement. MTD_NANDECC_OFF switches off the ecc complete. This is
+ not recommended and available for testing and diagnosis only.
+ MTD_NANDECC_PLACE selects caller defined placement,
+ MTD_NANDECC_AUTOPLACE selects automatic placement.
+
+- eccbytes
+
+ The eccbytes member defines the number of ecc bytes per page.
+
+- eccpos
+
+ The eccpos array holds the byte offsets in the spare area where the
+ ecc codes are placed.
+
+- oobfree
+
+ The oobfree array defines the areas in the spare area which can be
+ used for automatic placement. The information is given in the format
+ {offset, size}. offset defines the start of the usable area, size the
+ length in bytes. More than one area can be defined. The list is
+ terminated by an {0, 0} entry.
+
+Placement defined by fs driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The calling function provides a pointer to a nand_oobinfo structure
+which defines the ecc placement. For writes the caller must provide a
+spare area buffer along with the data buffer. The spare area buffer size
+is (number of pages) \* (size of spare area). For reads the buffer size
+is (number of pages) \* ((size of spare area) + (number of ecc steps per
+page) \* sizeof (int)). The driver stores the result of the ecc check
+for each tuple in the spare buffer. The storage sequence is::
+
+ <spare data page 0><ecc result 0>...<ecc result n>
+
+ ...
+
+ <spare data page n><ecc result 0>...<ecc result n>
+
+This is a legacy mode used by YAFFS1.
+
+If the spare area buffer is NULL then only the ECC placement is done
+according to the given scheme in the nand_oobinfo structure.
+
+Automatic placement
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Automatic placement uses the built in defaults to place the ecc bytes in
+the spare area. If filesystem data have to be stored / read into the
+spare area then the calling function must provide a buffer. The buffer
+size per page is determined by the oobfree array in the nand_oobinfo
+structure.
+
+If the spare area buffer is NULL then only the ECC placement is done
+according to the default builtin scheme.
+

+=========== ================== ================================================
+
+Filesystem support
+==================
+
+The NAND driver provides all necessary functions for a filesystem via
+the MTD interface.
+
+Filesystems must be aware of the NAND peculiarities and restrictions.
+One major restrictions of NAND Flash is, that you cannot write as often
+as you want to a page. The consecutive writes to a page, before erasing
+it again, are restricted to 1-3 writes, depending on the manufacturers
+specifications. This applies similar to the spare area.
+
+Therefore NAND aware filesystems must either write in page size chunks
+or hold a writebuffer to collect smaller writes until they sum up to
+pagesize. Available NAND aware filesystems: JFFS2, YAFFS.
+
+The spare area usage to store filesystem data is controlled by the spare
+area placement functionality which is described in one of the earlier
+chapters.
+
+Tools
+=====
+
+The MTD project provides a couple of helpful tools to handle NAND Flash.
+
+- flasherase, flasheraseall: Erase and format FLASH partitions
+
+- nandwrite: write filesystem images to NAND FLASH
+
+- nanddump: dump the contents of a NAND FLASH partitions
+
+These tools are aware of the NAND restrictions. Please use those tools
+instead of complaining about errors which are caused by non NAND aware
+access methods.
+

+Introduction
+============
+
+RapidIO is a high speed switched fabric interconnect with features aimed
+at the embedded market. RapidIO provides support for memory-mapped I/O
+as well as message-based transactions over the switched fabric network.
+RapidIO has a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus
+standard that allows simple detection of devices in a network.
+
+This documentation is provided for developers intending to support
+RapidIO on new architectures, write new drivers, or to understand the
+subsystem internals.

+===================================
+Writing s390 channel device drivers
+===================================
+
+:Author: Cornelia Huck
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes the interfaces available for device drivers that
+drive s390 based channel attached I/O devices. This includes interfaces
+for interaction with the hardware and interfaces for interacting with
+the common driver core. Those interfaces are provided by the s390 common
+I/O layer.
+
+The document assumes a familarity with the technical terms associated
+with the s390 channel I/O architecture. For a description of this
+architecture, please refer to the "z/Architecture: Principles of
+Operation", IBM publication no. SA22-7832.
+
+While most I/O devices on a s390 system are typically driven through the
+channel I/O mechanism described here, there are various other methods
+(like the diag interface). These are out of the scope of this document.
+
+Some additional information can also be found in the kernel source under
+Documentation/s390/driver-model.txt.
+
+The ccw bus
+===========
+
+The ccw bus typically contains the majority of devices available to a
+s390 system. Named after the channel command word (ccw), the basic
+command structure used to address its devices, the ccw bus contains
+so-called channel attached devices. They are addressed via I/O
+subchannels, visible on the css bus. A device driver for
+channel-attached devices, however, will never interact with the
+subchannel directly, but only via the I/O device on the ccw bus, the ccw
+device.
+
+I/O functions for channel-attached devices
+------------------------------------------
+
+Some hardware structures have been translated into C structures for use
+by the common I/O layer and device drivers. For more information on the
+hardware structures represented here, please consult the Principles of
+Operation.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: arch/s390/include/asm/cio.h
+ :internal:
+
+ccw devices
+-----------
+
+Devices that want to initiate channel I/O need to attach to the ccw bus.
+Interaction with the driver core is done via the common I/O layer, which
+provides the abstractions of ccw devices and ccw device drivers.
+
+The functions that initiate or terminate channel I/O all act upon a ccw
+device structure. Device drivers must not bypass those functions or
+strange side effects may happen.

+
+The channel-measurement facility
+--------------------------------
+
+The channel-measurement facility provides a means to collect measurement
+data which is made available by the channel subsystem for each channel
+attached device.

+
+The ccwgroup bus
+================
+
+The ccwgroup bus only contains artificial devices, created by the user.
+Many networking devices (e.g. qeth) are in fact composed of several ccw
+devices (like read, write and data channel for qeth). The ccwgroup bus
+provides a mechanism to create a meta-device which contains those ccw
+devices as slave devices and can be associated with the netdevice.

+
+Generic interfaces
+==================
+
+Some interfaces are available to other drivers that do not necessarily
+have anything to do with the busses described above, but still are
+indirectly using basic infrastructure in the common I/O layer. One
+example is the support for adapter interrupts.

+=====================
+SCSI Interfaces Guide
+=====================
+
+:Author: James Bottomley
+:Author: Rob Landley
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Protocol vs bus
+---------------
+
+Once upon a time, the Small Computer Systems Interface defined both a
+parallel I/O bus and a data protocol to connect a wide variety of
+peripherals (disk drives, tape drives, modems, printers, scanners,
+optical drives, test equipment, and medical devices) to a host computer.
+
+Although the old parallel (fast/wide/ultra) SCSI bus has largely fallen
+out of use, the SCSI command set is more widely used than ever to
+communicate with devices over a number of different busses.
+
+The `SCSI protocol <http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm>`__ is a big-endian
+peer-to-peer packet based protocol. SCSI commands are 6, 10, 12, or 16
+bytes long, often followed by an associated data payload.
+
+SCSI commands can be transported over just about any kind of bus, and
+are the default protocol for storage devices attached to USB, SATA, SAS,
+Fibre Channel, FireWire, and ATAPI devices. SCSI packets are also
+commonly exchanged over Infiniband,
+`I20 <http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/faq.php>`__, TCP/IP
+(`iSCSI <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI>`__), even `Parallel
+ports <http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/parscsi.html>`__.
+
+Design of the Linux SCSI subsystem
+----------------------------------
+
+The SCSI subsystem uses a three layer design, with upper, mid, and low
+layers. Every operation involving the SCSI subsystem (such as reading a
+sector from a disk) uses one driver at each of the 3 levels: one upper
+layer driver, one lower layer driver, and the SCSI midlayer.
+
+The SCSI upper layer provides the interface between userspace and the
+kernel, in the form of block and char device nodes for I/O and ioctl().
+The SCSI lower layer contains drivers for specific hardware devices.
+
+In between is the SCSI mid-layer, analogous to a network routing layer
+such as the IPv4 stack. The SCSI mid-layer routes a packet based data
+protocol between the upper layer's /dev nodes and the corresponding
+devices in the lower layer. It manages command queues, provides error
+handling and power management functions, and responds to ioctl()
+requests.
+
+SCSI upper layer
+================
+
+The upper layer supports the user-kernel interface by providing device
+nodes.

+via an INQUIRY command; if the LUN has a device attached, a scsi_device
+is allocated and setup for it. For every id of every channel on the
+given host, start by scanning LUN 0. Skip hosts that don't respond at

+issue a REPORT LUN, and scan all of the LUNs returned by the REPORT LUN;

+Transport classes
+-----------------
+
+Transport classes are service libraries for drivers in the SCSI lower
+layer, which expose transport attributes in sysfs.
+
+Fibre Channel transport
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_fc.c defines transport attributes
+for Fibre Channel.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_fc.c
+ :export:
+
+iSCSI transport class
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c defines transport
+attributes for the iSCSI class, which sends SCSI packets over TCP/IP
+connections.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c
+ :export:
+
+Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) transport class
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.c defines transport
+attributes for Serial Attached SCSI, a variant of SATA aimed at large
+high-end systems.
+
+The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
+aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model, and
+various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and management
+interfaces to userspace.
+
+In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class
+introduces two additional intermediate objects: The SAS PHY as
+represented by struct sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or
+Expander, and the SAS remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines
+an "incoming" PHY on a SAS Expander or end device. Note that this is
+purely a software concept, the underlying hardware for a PHY and a
+remote PHY is the exactly the same.
+
+There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
+form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the
+same for all PHYs in a port.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.c
+ :export:
+
+SATA transport class
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The SATA transport is handled by libata, which has its own book of
+documentation in this directory.
+
+Parallel SCSI (SPI) transport class
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_spi.c defines transport
+attributes for traditional (fast/wide/ultra) SCSI busses.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_spi.c
+ :export:
+
+SCSI RDMA (SRP) transport class
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_srp.c defines transport
+attributes for SCSI over Remote Direct Memory Access.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_srp.c
+ :export:
+
+SCSI lower layer
+================
+
+Host Bus Adapter transport types
+--------------------------------
+
+Many modern device controllers use the SCSI command set as a protocol to
+communicate with their devices through many different types of physical
+connections.
+
+In SCSI language a bus capable of carrying SCSI commands is called a
+"transport", and a controller connecting to such a bus is called a "host
+bus adapter" (HBA).
+
+Debug transport
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c simulates a host adapter with a
+variable number of disks (or disk like devices) attached, sharing a
+common amount of RAM. Does a lot of checking to make sure that we are
+not getting blocks mixed up, and panics the kernel if anything out of
+the ordinary is seen.
+
+To be more realistic, the simulated devices have the transport
+attributes of SAS disks.
+
+For documentation see http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sdebug26.html
