broken AHCI slot/port detection

Hi folks,

I wanted to test 2.6.31-rc to look at radeon KMS support, but the kernel doesnt boot because it cannot access my HD on my HP Compaq 6715s Notebook. I think this could affect other systems too.
Everything works great using 2.6.30.1 so its some kind of regression.

I attach dmesg output of both kernels for comparison.

The first development version I've tested was 2.6.31-rc1, the regression also occurred there.

Comment 2 Tejun Heo 2009-07-15 06:41:39 UTC
That's one interesting failure.  Looks like register access is somehow borked.

 ahci 0000:00:12.0: implemented port map (0xf720ff83) contains more ports than nr_ports (1), using nr_ports
 ahci 0000:00:12.0: forcing PORTS_IMPL to 0x1

Here, the controller is reporting garbage for PORTS_IMPL register and then it's reporting 0x00400040 for PORT_CMD_ISSUE triggering the following failures.

 ata1: illegal qc_active transition (00000000->00400040)

I don't think the problem is in the ahci driver proper.  Something is affecting the controller in a very weird way.  Can you please try to bisect it?

Thanks.

Hello Tejun, just finished bisecting, what a fun :)

I hope this is helpful for you, my notebook is still smoking from that compile-marathon :)

greets, Matthias

Okay, pinged Matthew and Greg.  Thanks a lot for bisecting.
Comment 5 Matthias Tingelhoff 2009-07-17 00:32:27 UTC
I've done more investigations with that "Use pci_claim_resource" patch, and I figured out that if pcibios_allocate_bus_resources or pcibios_assign_resources uses pci_claim_resource, it doesn't matter to my system == boots fine.

But as soon pcibios_allocate_resources is using that pci_claim_resource method, the failure we're talking about here is triggered.

Hope that helps in some way, at least I have something like a workaround now to see radeon KMS in it's baby-shoes :)

Jeff, I can't change the product.  Can you please change it to pci and reassign this bug?
Comment 7 Jeff Garzik 2009-07-17 05:14:52 UTC
I didn't see a Bus/PCI, the best category I found was Drivers/PCI.  CC'd PCI subsystem maintainer at any rate, that should work :)  Hi Jesse.
