* Add ->atapi_{in,out}put_bytes and ->ata_{in,out}put_data methods to
  falconide and q40ide host drivers (->ata_* methods are implemented on
  top of ->atapi_* methods so they also do byte-swapping now).

* Cleanup atapi_{in,out}put_bytes().

PS one of future patches will merge ->atapi_ and ->ata_ methods for IDE

Thanks!

One remaining issue (for which the fix has never been submitted upstream so
far) with Atari and Q40 is that due to the byteswapped interface, the driveid
is also byteswapped, so it has to be unswapped again in ide_fix_driveid().

Here's a very old and unclean but working patch:

My patch causes unswapping for _all_ data coming from the device so I wonder
whether the ide_fix_driveid() fix is still needed?

[ I now recall some discussion that we shouldn't un-swap fs requests because
  of how the things were done in the past fs itself is stored byte-swapped on
  the disk - if this is the case I will recast the patch to pass rq to
  ->ata_*put_data in ide_pio_sector() and check rq->cmd_type == REQ_TYPE_FS
  in falconide/q40ide_*put_data() to decide whether to unswap data or not ]

Thanks,
Bart

I'll give it a try on Aranym...

Yes, the data on the disk is stored byte-swapped.
So it's only the drive ID and packet commands that should be swapped.

Oops, just applying this series of 5 patches is not sufficient, I get
lots of rejects...

If you are storing the data on disk byte swapped then reverse the logic
in the driver so you don't need hacks for un-swapping commands and write
a bytesewap device mapper layer in the right place. Then you can even
move disks around.

It's ugly because the solution is currently in the wrong place (for good
historical reasons this is true)

"take 2" against IDE tree follows

[ I hope to merge it into IDE tree tomorrow if people are fine with it. ]

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
Subject: [PATCH] falconide/q40ide: add ->atapi_*put_bytes and ->ata_*put_data methods (take 2)

* Add ->atapi_{in,out}put_bytes and ->ata_{in,out}put_data methods to
  falconide and q40ide host drivers (->ata_* methods are implemented on
  top of ->atapi_* methods so they also do byte-swapping now).

* Cleanup atapi_{in,out}put_bytes().

v2:
* Add 'struct request *rq' argument to ->ata_{in,out}put_data methods
  and don't byte-swap disk fs requests (we shouldn't un-swap fs requests
  because fs itself is stored byte-swapped on the disk) - this is how
  things were done before the patch (ideally device mapper should be
  used instead but it would break existing setups and would have some
  performance impact).

PS no point in adding rq to ->atapi* methods as the next patch in series
merges ->ata* and ->atapi* methods

I like the part about checking 'struct request *rq', will make a  clean
distinction between ide command data and ide disk/medium data which is badly
needed.

However, not only FS data is byteswapped, complete disk including partition
table and everything else is. Will "rq->cmd_type == REQ_TYPE_FS" also catch
all these cases?

this will still do double swapping for disk access, although this is very
easier to fix once the distinction between ide and disk data works fine.

So IMHO despite the little concerns this is the way to go.

IIRC only identify data (and perhaps ATAPI data) need to be byteswapped 
twice (or not at all), so REQ_TYPE_FS should catch all other cases.

(Good catch about ATAPI there, BTW - I never thought about that, and ISTR 
that IDE CD-ROMs never worked in Linux. That would be the reason why..)

my main worry is whether REQ_TYPE_FS is set even when using raw disk access,
eg reading partition table or raw partitions.

The partition table initialisation is one of the reasons why using dmapper
would be a major pain btw.

IDE CDROM works perfectly on the Q40?

AFAIK direct I/O is also handled by REQ_TYPE_FS requests so it should be fine.

Only special commands (identify, S.M.A.R.T., raw commands passed through
taskfile ioctl) should be byte-swapped.

I just merged the patch into IDE tree (together with few other changes)
so some testing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bart

I had a brief look at this a little while ago, as I was looking at
the hacks Debian applies to make 2.6.x IDE work on Atari/ARAnym.
As I understood it the problem was some IDENTIFY command which needed
to not byteswap (the hack byteswaps a second time). Can't the driver
inspect the command type and choose whether to swap or not?

I had a grand plan of writing a pata_falconide libata driver, but
ran out of steam :-(

Device Mapper can certainly support that if needed - I don't think it has
a swab target currently but byteswapped is just a very bad crypto
algorithm so you can use dm crypt target as a reference. Might not be a
bad idea just to make the media shareable.

The only other way I can see to do it would be to split the ATA transfer
functions into two sets one for media data and one for other stuff - but
then how do you handle iso9660 cd ?

The Amiga isn't affected by this. Only Falcon and Q40 (Atari) are.

Sorry for the mess in core code - ist there any other way for only driveid
and packet data getting swapped? And can we actually use the device mapper
to byte-swap the root partition?

We have worse mess and a _single_ simple hook which helps a small platform 
and doesn't hurt others doesn't sound that bad.

So use the blitter ;)

At this point the future is not Commode Amiga or Atari TT and we risk
mess in core code for obscure platforms ?

That would require an additional data copy and a double byteswap on machines 
which are not that fast in first place...
