As reported in [0], the pm8001 driver NCQ error handling more or less
duplicates what libata does in link error handling, as follows:
- abort all commands
- do autopsy with read log ext 10 command
- reset the target to recover

Indeed for the hisi_sas driver we want to add similar handling for NCQ
errors.

This series add a new libsas API - sas_ata_link_abort() - to handle host
NCQ errors, and fixes up pm8001 and hisi_sas drivers to use it. As
mentioned in the pm8001 changeover patch, I would prefer a better place to
locate the SATA ABORT command (rather that nexus reset callback).

I would appreciate some testing of the pm8001 change as the read log ext10
command mostly hangs on my arm64 machine - these arm64 hangs are a known
issue.

Finally with these changes we can make the libsas task alloc/free APIs
private, which they should always have been.

Based on v5.19-rc6

I applied this series on top of the current Linus tree and ran some tests: a
bunch of fio runs and also ran libzbc test suites on a SATA SMR drive as that
generates many command failures. No problems detected, the tests all pass.
FYI, messages for failed commands look like this:

pm80xx0:: mpi_sata_event 2685: SATA EVENT 0x23
sas: Enter sas_scsi_recover_host busy: 1 failed: 1
sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task 0x00000000ba62a907

Seems all good to me.

For this specific test we don't seem to run a hardreset after the 
autopsy, but we do seem to be getting an NCQ error. That's interesting.

We have noticed this scenario for hisi_sas NCQ error, whereby the 
autopsy decided a reset is not required or useful, such as a medium 
error. Anyway the pm8001 driver relies on the reset being run always for 
the NCQ error. So I am thinking of tweaking sas_ata_link_abort() as follows:

void sas_ata_link_abort(struct domain_device *device)
{
	struct ata_port *ap = device->sata_dev.ap;
	struct ata_link *link = &ap->link;

	link->eh_info.err_mask |= AC_ERR_DEV;
+	link->eh_info.action |= ATA_EH_RESET;
	ata_link_abort(link);
}

This should force a reset.

Thanks,
John

This is an unaligned write to a sequential write required zone on SMR. So
definitely not worth a reset. Forcing hard resetting the link for such error is
an overkill. I think it is better to let ata_link_abort() -> ... -> scsi & ata
EH decide on the disposition.

Note that patch 3 did not apply cleanly to the current Linus tree. So a rebase
for the series is needed.

Do you know if this triggered the pm8001 IO_XFER_ERROR_ABORTED_NCQ_MODE 
  error?

If I do not set ATA_EH_RESET then I need to trust that libata will 
always decide to do the reset for pm8001 IO_XFER_ERROR_ABORTED_NCQ_MODE 
error. That is because it is in the reset that I send the pm8001 "abort 
all" command - I could not find a better place for it.

That might be just git am, which always seems temperamental. The patches 
still apply from cherry-pick'ing for me. Anyway, I'll send a new version 
next week.

Thanks,
John

Not sure what error it was. Will need to add a print of it to check. Easy to do.

Yes, it was a "bad ancestor" thing. Direct patching worked just fine.
