[libata] Add ATA transport class
This is a scheleton for libata transport class. All information is read only, exporting information from libata: - ata_port class: one per ATA port - ata_link class: one per ATA port or 15 for SATA Port Multiplier - ata_device class: up to 2 for PATA link, usually one for SATA.

Description:
|
||||
|
||||
Provide a place in sysfs for storing the ATA topology of the system. This allows
|
||||
retrieving various information about ATA objects.
|
||||
|
||||
Files under /sys/class/ata_port
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For each port, a directory ataX is created where X is the ata_port_id of
|
||||
the port. The device parent is the ata host device.
|
||||
|
||||
idle_irq (read)
|
||||
|
||||
Number of IRQ received by the port while idle [some ata HBA only].
|
||||
|
||||
nr_pmp_links (read)
|
||||
|
||||
If a SATA Port Multiplier (PM) is connected, number of link behind it.
|
||||
|
||||
Files under /sys/class/ata_link
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Behind each port, there is a ata_link. If there is a SATA PM in the
|
||||
topology, 15 ata_link objects are created.
|
||||
|
||||
If a link is behind a port, the directory name is linkX, where X is
|
||||
ata_port_id of the port.
|
||||
If a link is behind a PM, its name is linkX.Y where X is ata_port_id
|
||||
of the parent port and Y the PM port.
|
||||
|
||||
hw_sata_spd_limit
|
||||
|
||||
Maximum speed supported by the connected SATA device.
|
||||
|
||||
sata_spd_limit
|
||||
|
||||
Maximum speed imposed by libata.
|
||||
|
||||
sata_spd
|
||||
|
||||
Current speed of the link [1.5, 3Gps,...].
|
||||
|
||||
Files under /sys/class/ata_device
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Behind each link, up to two ata device are created.
|
||||
The name of the directory is devX[.Y].Z where:
|
||||
- X is ata_port_id of the port where the device is connected,
|
||||
- Y the port of the PM if any, and
|
||||
- Z the device id: for PATA, there is usually 2 devices [0,1],
|
||||
only 1 for SATA.
|
||||
|
||||
class
|
||||
Device class. Can be "ata" for disk, "atapi" for packet device,
|
||||
"pmp" for PM, or "none" if no device was found behind the link.
|
||||
|
||||
dma_mode
|
||||
|
||||
Transfer modes supported by the device when in DMA mode.
|
||||
Mostly used by PATA device.
|
||||
|
||||
pio_mode
|
||||
|
||||
Transfer modes supported by the device when in PIO mode.
|
||||
Mostly used by PATA device.
|
||||
|
||||
xfer_mode
|
||||
|
||||
Current transfer mode.
|
||||
|
||||
id
|
||||
|
||||
Cached result of IDENTIFY command, as described in ATA8 7.16 and 7.17.
|
||||
Only valid if the device is not a PM.
|
||||
|
||||
gscr
|
||||
|
||||
Cached result of the dump of PM GSCR register.
|
||||
Valid registers are:
|
||||
0: SATA_PMP_GSCR_PROD_ID,
|
||||
1: SATA_PMP_GSCR_REV,
|
||||
2: SATA_PMP_GSCR_PORT_INFO,
|
||||
32: SATA_PMP_GSCR_ERROR,
|
||||
33: SATA_PMP_GSCR_ERROR_EN,
|
||||
64: SATA_PMP_GSCR_FEAT,
|
||||
96: SATA_PMP_GSCR_FEAT_EN,
|
||||
130: SATA_PMP_GSCR_SII_GPIO
|
||||
Only valid if the device is a PM.
|
||||
|
||||
spdn_cnt
|
||||
|
||||
Number of time libata decided to lower the speed of link due to errors.
|
||||
|
||||
ering
|
||||
|
||||
Formatted output of the error ring of the device.
