I apologise for my bad English, I hope that it don't annoy you. Problem Description: In my box something does not go with in 2.6.17.2 and higher (i tried since 2.6.19prepatch) instead all works with 2.6.17.1 and previous. The second sata hd works very slowly, and if I try to install linux in it, it's unstable as well as slow. Look at the last line of output of hdparm: hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 1748 MB in 2.00 seconds = 873.97 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 210 MB in 3.02 seconds = 69.48 MB/sec /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 1828 MB in 2.00 seconds = 914.01 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.36 seconds = 1.79 MB/sec ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Insted with 2.6.17.1 kernel the output is: hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 1336 MB in 2.02 seconds = 660.04 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 194 MB in 3.02 seconds = 64.15 MB/sec /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 1740 MB in 2.00 seconds = 868.21 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 180 MB in 3.02 seconds = 59.52 MB/sec ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I exchanged the two hard disks (so that the /dev/sda become /dev/sdb and vice versa), it happens only on /dev/sdb, someone hard disk is it. I try one hard disk at a time on both sata port, so the hard disk connect is /dev/hda, and it works fine. I have a SATA PCI card (you can see it on http://www.hamletcom.com/ProductDetails.aspx?sid=f711002449574338beaf3c497f30f20c&ProductId=3483 ) It have a chipset Uli/Ali M5283 (SATA M5281 ATA M5228). My hard disks are Maxtor 6V250F0 and Maxtor 6L200M0. Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: 2.6.17.1 Hardware Environment: sudo lspci -vvv ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?)

Between, 2.6.17.1 and 2.6.17.2, ATA_DFLAG_PIO has changed its position. Please make sure you haven't mixed modules for the two versions. If that's not the case, please change #undef ATA_DEBUG in include/linux/libata.h to #define ATA_DEBUG, recompile the kernel, and report the boot dmesg.

No mixed modules, I'm sure. It's occur even with Debian Etch precompiled kernel 2.6.17.2, or even in the Live-CD of distribution that use kernel >= 2.6.17.2 as Ubuntu 6.10 and Mandriva 2007. In attachment there's dmesg with ATA_DEBUG define. If you need, I have dmesg with ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG define too. I'm looking for something in libata-core.c, but my C knowlodge is too poor to do it...

What Tejun said. Here's the only sata diff between 2.6.17.1 and 2.6.17.2. You could see if reverting this fixes it. Problem: - With 2.6.17 libata, some PIO-only devices are given DMA commands.

Yes, reverting 2.6.17.2 libata.h and libata-core.c fixes it. I have just tried it again. (I already thought it). Isn't possible to correct the 2.6.17.2 patch without downgrading it?
Okay, I get it. It's ironic. Your second drive is configured for PIO4. Before the fix, libata issued DMA commands to devices which are configured for PIO mode, so DMA commands were issued to your drive anyway thus showing normal UDMA performance. 2.6.17.2 fixes the bug and libata issues PIO commands to devices which are configured for PIO mode resulting in massive slow down. So, the fix is correct but it hurts you nevertheless. Let's track down why libata is configuring your drive to PIO4. Messages with ATA_DEBUG contains those info but your last report was truncated. Please increase the size of kernel log buffersize under kernel hacking and report the result of dmesg -s 1000000.
dmesg -s 2147483639 >> dmesg-dbg More of this dmesg can't do. But always truncated. I'm going to unplug some ata device, maybe it can help us...

I unplugged an HDD p-ata and a CD-ROM, but dmesg is always truncated. I don't know if it can help you: when I use an kernel >= 2.6.17.2 the system freeze on shutdown, often but not always. Using 2.6.17.1 or less never do.
Yeah, ATA_DEBUG turns on a LOT of messages. I'll prepare some selective debug message printing patch tomorrow. Gotta sleep now.

I think this last one should gone. Goodnight :-) (Here it's 16.36)
I tried in 2.6.17.13 to do the same thing that i do in 17.2: include/linux/libata.h - ATA_DFLAG_LBA = (1 << 0), /* device supports LBA */ - ATA_DFLAG_LBA48 = (1 << 1), /* device supports LBA48 */ - ATA_DFLAG_HPA = (1 << 2), /* device has an HPA */ - ATA_DFLAG_CFG_MASK = (1 << 8) - 1, - ATA_DFLAG_PIO = (1 << 8), /* device currently in PIO mode */ + ATA_DFLAG_LBA48 = (1 << 0), /* device supports LBA48 */ + ATA_DFLAG_PIO = (1 << 1), /* device currently in PIO mode */ + ATA_DFLAG_LBA = (1 << 2), /* device supports LBA */ drivers/scsi/libata-core.c - dev->flags &= ~ATA_DFLAG_CFG_MASK; + dev->flags = 0; and it does not works.

Your controller is reporting simplex DMA. That is, two ports on the controller share DMA channel and thus only one device can use DMA at a time. On 2.6.17.1 where both devices are functioning at high spped, can you run some data integrity test while performing heavy IO to both disks? I'm a bit surprised that a modern SATA controller is reporting simplex.
I bought two of this cheap controller about 2 years ago, and they run on two box, this one that I'm using now and another one, an old PII that run Windows XP. I never I had loose data, except when an HDD was fail but it was an head crash. I realized that running linux it see my two sata hdd as udma6 and not as sata, but I was not worry about it. Running Windows that is not happen, and the two sata hdd is faster than my p-ata udma 133 hdd. The chip on the controller is the same that you can find on a lot on motherboard. It's all that i can tell you. If you can advice my an data integrity test I'll be happy to run it and I report you the output.
Okay, uli seems to have bogus SIMPLEX bit. This is being fixed in upstream. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/475453/focus=475453
Created attachment 9891 [details] sata_uli-clear-simplex Please test the attached patch from Alan Cox.
I just tried to patch drivers/scsi/sata_uli.c on 2.6.17.14 and it doesn't work. ^^^^ This " ppi[0] = ppi[1] = &uli_port_info; " doesn't work (?) so I leaved "ppi = &uli_port_info;" Of course, I added "ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev);". Did I done something bad?
Ergh.. it's against 2.6.19. You just need to add ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev) somewhere between pci_enable_device() and ata_device_add().
This is what I did, and does't work. Always PIO4... rc = pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, ATA_DMA_MASK); if (rc) goto err_out_regions; /*ADDED*/ ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev); /*END*/ ppi = &uli_port_info; probe_ent = ata_pci_init_native_mode(pdev, &ppi, ATA_PORT_PRIMARY | ATA_ PORT_SECONDARY); if (!probe_ent) {
Can you try the following? rc = ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev); printk("XXX: clear_simplex=%d\n", rc);
Created attachment 9901 [details] dmesg-2.6.19.1-patch-dbg vanish sata so, I have trouble... I got the 2.6.19.1 tree and I added on drivers/ata/sata_uli.c this code: rc = pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, ATA_DMA_MASK); if (rc) goto err_out_regions; /* ADD */ ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev); rc = ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev); printk("XXX: clear_simplex=%d\n", rc); /*END*/ ppi[0] = ppi[1] = &uli_port_info; probe_ent = ata_pci_init_native_mode(pdev, ppi, ATA_PORT_PRIMARY | ATA_P ORT_SECONDARY); and simply my SATA HDD was vanish. I can see the controller with lcpci: 01:07.0 Mass storage controller: ALi Corporation ALi M5281 Serial ATA / RAID Host Controller (rev a1) 01:07.1 Mass storage controller: ALi Corporation M5228 ALi ATA/RAID Controller (rev c6) I think that the trouble is in the double ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev), isn't it?
No, I don't think so. Can you post full dmesg?
Created attachment 9908 [details] dmesg without "ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev)" With all 3 lines you can read dmesg in the last attachment. No debug print. I have a dmesg from a kernel compiled without "ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev)" but with only: rc = ata_pci_clear_simplex(pdev); printk("XXX: clear_simplex=%d\n", rc); and you can read it in this attachment.
Created attachment 9998 [details] sata_uli ignore simplex patch Please test this patch. The patch will apply to 2.6.19[.1] and all 20.rcX kernels. Happy new year.
Ah... I forgot to mention. Please post boot dmesg too.
Created attachment 10002 [details] dmesg with patch Happy new year. Here is (in the attachment) the dmesg. There's something that i don't understand. In the dmseg output I can see: ALI15X3: 100% native mode on irq 19 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb400-0xb407, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb408-0xb40f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio Probing IDE interface ide0... but I can't find this hda and hdb device. Also if I try to do "mknod /dev/hda b 3 0" it doesn't work. (Normally I use udev) (In this kernel sata hard disk is hdx and no more sdx, it isn't?)
You need to load sata_uli and the disks will appear as /dev/sdX.
Created attachment 10003 [details] The last dmesg ehm, yes, I had just forget to compile it (the next time I won't compile kernel at 3 am). You can see dmesg in attachment. SATA information are in the end because I loaded modules just after that I compiled them. Now it likes to work. The kernel says that it goes at 133 MB/s and hdparm returns Timing buffered disk reads: 204 MB in 3.01 seconds = 67.71 MB/sec Now I'm going to test some large read/write action. Is 133 MB/s for PCI limitation or is there samething wrong in the UDMA mode? The P-ATA controller on the PCI have a strange way to work now... if I plug a disk in the only IDE port, the kernel see it as hdc or hdd if it is slave. The hda and hdb simply don't exist and can't exist. Thank you very much for the hard and good work.
I'm forwarding the patch upstream and closing the bug. Thanks.
