s->functions needs to be initialized earlier, for the "let's see
how high it increases" approach means that pcmcia_request_irq()
(which makes use of this value) is confused, and might request
an exclusive IRQ first even though it is not supposed to.
Also, a CIS override autoloaded using the firmware loader may
allow for the use of more or less functions in a multifunction
card. Therefore, we may need to schedule a call to add this
second function later on, or simply remove the other function
(it's always the first -valid- function which reaches this
codepath).

[DCCP] ccid3: Deprecate TFRC_SMALLEST_P
This patch deprecates the existing use of an arbitrary value TFRC_SMALLEST_P
for low-threshold values of p. This avoids masking low-resolution errors.
Instead, the code now checks against real boundaries (implemented by preceding
patch) and provides warnings whenever a real value falls below the threshold.
If such messages are observed, it is a better solution to take this as an
indication that the lookup table needs to be re-engineered.
Changelog:
----------
This patch
* makes handling all TFRC resolution errors local to the TFRC library
* removes unnecessary test whether X_calc is 'infinity' due to p==0 -- this
condition is already caught by tfrc_calc_x()
* removes setting ccid3hctx_p = TFRC_SMALLEST_P in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv
since this is now done by the TFRC library
* updates BUG_ON test in ccid3_hc_tx_no_feedback_timer to take into account
that p now is either 0 (and then X_calc is irrelevant), or it is > 0; since
the handling of TFRC_SMALLEST_P is now taken care of in the tfrc library
Justification:
--------------
The TFRC code uses a lookup table which has a bounded resolution.
The lowest possible value of the loss event rate `p' which can be
resolved is currently 0.0001. Substituting this lower threshold for
p when p is less than 0.0001 results in a huge, exponentially-growing
error. The error can be computed by the following formula:
(f(0.0001) - f(p))/f(p) * 100 for p < 0.0001
Currently the solution is to use an (arbitrary) value
TFRC_SMALLEST_P = 40 * 1E-6 = 0.00004
and to consider all values below this value as `virtually zero'. Due to
the exponentially growing resolution error, this is not a good idea, since
it hides the fact that the table can not resolve practically occurring cases.
Already at p == TFRC_SMALLEST_P, the error is as high as 58.19%!

[DCCP] tfrc: Fix small error in reverse lookup of p for given f(p)
This fixes the following small error in tfrc_calc_x_reverse_lookup.
1) The table is generated by the following equations:
lookup[index][0] = g((index+1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
lookup[index][1] = g((index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
where g(q) is 1E6 * f(q/1E6)
2) The reverse lookup assigns an entry in lookup[index][small]
3) This index needs to match the above, i.e.
* if small=0 then
p = (index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE
These are exactly the changes that the patch makes; previously the code did
not conform to the way the lookup table was generated (this difference resulted
in a mean error of about 1.12%).

[DCCP] ccid3: Fix warning message about illegal ACK
This avoids a (harmless) warning message being printed at the DCCP server
(the receiver of a DCCP half connection).
Incoming packets are both directed to
* ccid_hc_rx_packet_recv() for the server half
* ccid_hc_tx_packet_recv() for the client half
The message gets printed since on a server the client half is currently not
sending data packets.
This is resolved for the moment by checking the DCCP-role first. In future
times (bidirectional DCCP connections), this test may have to be more
sophisticated.

The main object of this patch is the following bug:

resolved by re-ordering statements.
In addition,
* r_sample is converted from u32 to long to check whether the time difference
was negative (it would otherwise be converted to a large u32 value)
* protection against RTT=0 (this is possible) is provided in a further patch

[DCCP]: Fix BUG in retransmission delay calculation
This bug resulted in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returning negative
delay values, which in turn triggered silently dequeueing packets in
dccp_write_xmit. As a result, only a few out of the submitted packets made
it at all onto the network. Occasionally, when dccp_wait_for_ccid was
involved, this also triggered a bug warning since ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
returned a negative value (which in reality was a negative delay value).
The cause for this bug lies in the comparison
if (delay >= hctx->ccid3hctx_delta)
return delay / 1000L;
The type of `delay' is `long', that of ccid3hctx_delta is `u32'. When comparing
negative long values against u32 values, the test returned `true' whenever delay
was smaller than 0 (meaning the packet was overdue to send).
The fix is by casting, subtracting, and then testing the difference with
regard to 0.
This has been tested and shown to work.

[DCCP]: Use higher RTO default for CCID3
The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4
RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs
with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced
performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very
frequently.
This patch provides a configuration option to set the bound for the
nofeedback timer, using as default 100 milliseconds.
By setting the configuration option to 0, strict RFC 3448 behaviour
can be enforced for the nofeedback timer.

This patch adds code to fix up the PHYMODE4 "align timing"
register value on second-generation Promise SATA chips.
Failure to correct this value on non-x86 machines makes
drive detection prone to failure due to timeouts. (I've
observed about 50% detection failure rates on SPARC64.)
The HW boots with a bad value in this register, but on x86
machines the Promise BIOS corrects it to the value recommended
by the manual, so most people have been unaffected by this issue.
After developing the patch I checked Promise's SATAII driver,
and discovered that it also corrects PHYMODE4 just like this
patch does.
This patch depends on the sata_promise SATAII updates
patch I sent recently.

[PATCH] libata: always use polling IDENTIFY
libata switched to IRQ-driven IDENTIFY when IRQ-driven PIO was

ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING was added recently to selectively use polling
IDENTIFY on problemetic drivers but many controllers and devices are
affected by this problem and trying to adding ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING
for each such case is diffcult and not very rewarding.
This patch makes libata always use polling IDENTIFY. This is
consistent with libata's original behavior and drivers/ide's behavior.

[PATCH] ahci: do not powerdown during initialization
ahci_init_controller() calls ahci_deinit_port() to make sure the
controller is stopped before initializing the controller. In turn,
ahci_deinit_port() invokes ahci_power_down() to power down the port.
If the controller supports slumber mode, the link is put into it.
Unfortunately, some devices don't implement link powersaving mode
properly and show erratic behavior after link is put into slumber
mode. For example, HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H30N completely locks up on
slumber transition and can only be recovered with the *REAL* hard
reset - power removal and reapply.
Note that this makes the first probing reset different from all
others. If the above dvd-ram is hotplugged after ahci is initialized,
no problem occurs because ahci is already fully initialized with phy
powered up. So, this might also be the reason for other weird AHCI
initial probing abnormalities.
This patch moves power up/down out of port init/deinit and call them
only when needed.
Power down is now called only when suspending. As system suspend
usually involves powering down 12v for storage devices, this shouldn't
cause problem even if the attached device doesn't support slumber
mode. However, in partial power management and suspend failure cases,
devices might lock up after suspend attempt. I thought about removing
transition to slumber mode altogether but ahci spec mandates it before
HBA D3 state transition. Blacklisting such devices might be the
solution.

[PATCH] libata: make sure IRQ is cleared after ata_bmdma_freeze()
Now that BMDMA status is recorded in irq handler. ata_bmdma_freeze()
is free to manipulate host status. Under certain circumstances, some
controllers (ICH7 in enhanced mode w/ IRQ shared) raise IRQ when CTL
register is written to and ATA_NIEN doesn't mask it.
This patch makes ata_bmdma_freeze() clear all pending IRQs after
freezing a port. This change makes explicit clearing in
ata_device_add() unnecessary and thus kills it. The removed code was
SFF-specific and was in the wrong place.
Note that ->freeze() handler is always called under ap->lock held and
irq disabled. Even if CTL manipulation causes stuck IRQ, it's cleared
immediately. This should be safe (enough) even in SMP environment.
More correct solution is to mask the IRQ from IRQ controller but that
would be an overkill.
