This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer. The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB information when accessing PMP registers. Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci). One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48, forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

| * libata: automatically use DMADIR if drive/bridge requires itTejun Heo2008-02-244-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in 2.6.17-rc2, a libata module parameter was added for atapi_dmadir. That's nice, but most SATA devices which need it will tell us about it in their IDENTIFY PACKET response, as bit-15 of word-62 of the returned data (as per ATA7, ATA8 specifications). So for those which specify it, we should automatically use the DMADIR bit. Otherwise, disc writing will fail by default on many SATA-ATAPI drives. This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR and make ata_dev_configure() set it if atapi_dmadir is set or identify data indicates DMADIR is necessary. atapi_xlat() is converted to check ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR before setting DMADIR.

Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the ->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash under this lock read-locked closes this gap.

| * | [RTNL]: Validate hardware and broadcast address attribute for RTM_NEWLINKThomas Graf2008-02-241-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case. The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice structure. It might make sense to report an error if less than addr_len bytes are provided but enforcing this might break drivers trying to be smart with not transmitting all zero addresses.

Just after, the peer is unregistered taking the rtnl_lock while the linkwatch_event is scheduled. If __linkwatch_run_queue does not occurs before the unregistering, unregister_netdevice will wait for the dev refcount to reach zero holding the rtnl_lock and linkwatch_event will wait for the rtnl_lock and hold the dev refcount.
