won't work: 2.6.0 && SiI 3112 SATA

won't work: 2.6.0 && SiI 3112 SATA

[Karel Kulhavý]

Hello

I try to make Adaptec SATA RAID AAR-1210SA (in fact, SiI 3112 ACT 144 chip)
work under 2.6.0

When booting, get "hde: lost interrupt" and DMA errors. Tried to switch
on/off local and I/O APIC (singleproc board) and the errors stay the same.

Are these errors experienced on all SiI3112 boards? Are they experienced
also in 2.4 kernel? Shall I try some "newer" kernel than 2.6.0?

What's the difference between SiI3112 and SiI 3114? I found a note about
adding some SiI 3114 patch in the 2.6 -mm kernel but don't know if it's
relevant for me.

Have downloaded the SiI 3112 datasheet but they don't say much about how the
registers are configured etc. - just how serial EEPROM is connected
(yes, there's an AM29LV0108-903C by AMD on the board) and what SATA commands
are supported.

Is the programming interface of the chip proprietary or is it covered in
SATA, ATA or even PCI spec.?

I have Abit NF7-S mobo that has Sil3112 sata-controller on-board, and it
works without problems under 2.4 and 2.6.

Try the -mm sources for 2.6, or grab the files @
http://files.clanhk.org/siimage/ and put them under drivers/ide/pci/ and
recompile.  Please report your results.  I had the same problem, looked
into it, and changed something that fixed it for me.

I have NF7-S too (and Seagate sata 120), and it works for me with :

- 2.4.23 and libata 
(ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/2.4.23-libata2.patch.bz2)
- 2.6.0 and libata (CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=m and CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=m)

But it doesn't work with the siimage driver (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE=m) 
under 2.4.23 (didn't try it under 2.6, since it worked with libata...)

Question (for Jeff ?) :

Why is my drive (with 2.4.23 and libata2) on /dev/sda ? Why isn't it on 
/dev/hde, like (afaik) everybody else ? I'd like to run hdparm to 
improve performance (hdparm -tT gives ~ 20 Mb/s)

Thanks

I am not Jeff but, SATA is embedded SCSI infrastructure, thus you get 
sda device.
Performace is so bad because of workaround for Seagate drives (max 
15kb/transfer or alike). HDParm won't help you.

Not with the libata VIA driver.

I had to apply the mm patch for 2.6 to get the full performance out of my
3112 (also Seagate drives) using the IDE (non-libata) driver. Didn't test
libata for the 3112 after applying.

I finally tried siimage with 2.6 (2.6.1-mm2) and hdparm -tT gives about
55 MB/s (~ 20 with libata)

I had understood that libata was better than siimage with non-seagate
drives, and that both were as bad with seagate drives. Has libata been
improved since this time ?

Thanks

Tried that patch however no remedy. Interesting is maybe the information the
controller reports on hde. The patch includes something with interrupts
of IDE0 and IDE1.

Tried to "extrapolate" the stuff in sata_sil.c logically (sorry for not knowing
what's going on here) with bitmasks 1<<25, 1<<26 and adding them to the few
lines that reenable the interrupts, but this also didn't work.

In fact, it doesn't even get into the workaround code at the moment the system
freezes temporarily.

I managed (after long wait) to get the system boot up and captured the
dmesg:

Also tried to cat /dev/hde and /dev/hdg. First the processes were dead frozen
but after some minutes the /dev/hdg one sputtered out a chunk of random data.
The /dev/hde one didn't puke out anything no matter that it was started
earlier. I even managed to break them by CTRL-C (after several minutes) ;-)

Any clue what can be wrong here?

   It looks like you're using the wrong driver here. Jeff's patch is
for libata, which is an implementation of SATA drivers in the SCSI
layer. You'll find the libata driver options under the SCSI menu in
the kernel config. Try disabling the pure IDE layer driver (in
"ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support"), and go to the "SCSI low-level drivers"
menu, and enable "Serial ATA (SATA) support".

CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y

   Hugo.

Yes, tried but it won't compile.

Then managed to enable the SCSI driver in promp for incomplete and/or
development drivers, applied the patch from don't know who that reenables
the interrupts and recognizes Adaptec 1210SA and it seems to work fine now.
