Regression: SATA disk double spin-off during hibernation on hp nx6325
Rafael J. Wysocki
It appears that the "double spin-off" problem described in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8855
has recently started to appear during hibernation as well as during shutdown.
It didn't appear during hibernation on my hp nx6325 with 2.6.26, so this is a
recent regression.
I have prepared the appended patch that fixes the problem for me, based on the
earlier Tejun's patch at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=15441&action=view
but I'm not really sure if this is an acceptable solution. Please advise.
Thanks,
Rafael

The libata part looks fine to me but what are those SYSTEM_SUSPEND_DISK
stuff? They don't look like belonging to this patch.
Thanks.

Actaully, they do belong to it. This is the part "fixing" the hibernation code
path, in which the disk is also powered off unnecessarily.
Well, probably I should use SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER or something similar
instead of SYSTEM_SUSPEND_DISK.
In short, the idea is to change system_state to something specific to the last
phase of hibernation (after saving the image) and check that in
ata_scsi_start_stop_xlat(). In fact that's completely analogous to what's done
for SYSTEM_POWER_OFF in there.

Ah.. right, missed the added check for SUSPEND_DISK in libata-scsi.c.
Maybe it's a good idea to note it in the commit message later?
Thanks.

Suspend to RAM is fine, hibernation (aka suspend to disk) is not (on my box).
Does it mean that hibernation is fine on your box with 2.6.27-rc5, although
shutdown is not? That would require special DMI-dependent handling, so please
double check.
Anyway, please attach the output of dmidecode to
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8855
so I can include your box into the final version of the patch.

Ah, right. The double spin down happens during hibernation too.

I have uploaded a new version of the patch into the Bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=17618&action=view
Can you test it, please (also please attach dmesg output to the Bugzilla
entry)?
Thanks,
Rafael
Frans Pop

This version does not work for me, possibly because I use a different hard
disk driver (ata_piix instead of sata_sil)?
I've seen there are later versions of the patch, but as the comments
mention that 2510p was removed from those I haven't tested them.
> (also please attach dmesg output to the Bugzilla entry)
Added.
Cheers,

Thanks. There's a new patch for you to test in there already. :-)

Seems to work correctly. The first spindown no longer happens.
In the BTS you noted the support is "partial". What's partial about it?
Thanks Rafael.

I want the quirk to be only applied to on-board controllers and that wasn't
there yet for your system.
Updated patch (hopefully final) has been uploaded as:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=17646&action=view

After some more debugging and refinements I've obtained the patch below.

SATA: Blacklist systems that spin off disks during ACPI power off
Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.
To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
using DMI information. However, only the on-board controlles should
be blacklisted and their PCI slot numbers can be used for this
purpose. Unfortunately the existing interface for checking DMI
information of the system is not very convenient for this purpose,
because to use it, we would have to define special callback functions
or create a separate struct dmi_system_id table for each blacklisted
system.
To overcome this difficulty introduce a new function
dmi_first_match() returning a pointer to the first entry in an array
of struct dmi_system_id elements that matches the system DMI
information. Then, we can use this pointer to access the entry's
.driver_data field containing the additional information, such as
the PCI slot number, allowing us to do the desired blacklisting.
Introduce a new libata flag ATA_FLAG_NO_POWEROFF_SPINDOWN that, if
set, will prevent disks from being spun off during system power off
and hibernation (to handle the hibernation case we need a new system
state SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER that can be checked against by libata,
in analogy with SYSTEM_POWER_OFF). Use dmi_first_match() to set this
flag for some systems affected by the problem described above (HP nx6325,
HP nx6310, HP 2510p).

libata part looks good to me but I think it would be better to
separate out DMI changes into a separate patch.
Thanks.

Did these changes ever get separated out?
Rafael J. Wysocki
I only have the 'combo' patch if that's what you're asking about. [The latest
version is at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=17702&action=view]
Still, I can easily split the patch, although in that case the reason for the
DMI changes won't be very clear without a reference to the SATA changes IMO.
Thanks,
Rafael
Jeff Garzik
That's the nature of every single API change -- you have the change, and
then you have the users.
Respectfully, please split up the patch as requested, into DMI subsystem
and ata subsystem pieces.
Re-reviewing the patch, I would even think that you should split out the
kernel/power/disk and linux/kernel.h changes as well.

DMI: Introduce dmi_first_match to make the interface more flexible
Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.
To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
using DMI information. However, only the on-board controlles should
be blacklisted and their PCI slot numbers can be used for this
purpose. Unfortunately the existing interface for checking DMI
information of the system is not very convenient for this purpose,
because to use it, we would have to define special callback functions
or create a separate struct dmi_system_id table for each blacklisted
system.
To overcome this difficulty introduce a new function
dmi_first_match() returning a pointer to the first entry in an array
of struct dmi_system_id elements that matches the system DMI
information. Then, we can use this pointer to access the entry's
.driver_data field containing the additional information, such as
the PCI slot number, allowing us to do the desired blacklisting.

Hibernation: Introduce new system state for the last phase of hibernation
Replace unused SYSTEM_SUSPEND_DISK with a new system_state value
SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER that can be used by device drivers to check if
the system is in the last phase of hibernation.
In particular, some SATA drivers are going to use it for blacklisting
systems in which the disks should not be spun down during the last
phase of hibernation (the BIOS will do that anyway).

Violent objections.
We just don't know what this change will do. It potentially affects
every code site in the kernel which looks at system_state. We've had
problems in the past with this thing and the more complex we make it,
the worse any future problems will be. It's Just Bad.
Can we just create a new global?
extern bool system_entering_hibernation_or_whatever;
?
It'll add four bytes of bss, it'll save *more* than four bytes of
text and it is plainly obviously non-injurious to present and future
code.
hmm?

Do you mean anyone checking 'system_state != SOMETHING' ? Oh well.

Yes, we can, but what about:
extern bool system_entering_hibernation(void);
that will become a static inline in case of !CONFIG_HIBERNATION,
and using a static variable?

SATA AHCI: Blacklist system that spins off disks during ACPI power off
Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.
To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
using DMI information.
Blacklist HP nx6310 that uses the AHCI driver.

Hibernation: Introduce system_entering_hibernation
Introduce boolean function system_entering_hibernation() returning
'true' during the last phase of hibernation, in which devices are
being put into low power states and the sleep state (for example,
ACPI S4) is finally entered.
Some device drivers need such a function to check if the system is
in the final phase of hibernation. In particular, some SATA drivers
are going to use it for blacklisting systems in which the disks
should not be spun down during the last phase of hibernation (the
BIOS will do that anyway).

DMI: Introduce dmi_first_match to make the interface more flexible
Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.
To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
using DMI information. However, only the on-board controlles should
be blacklisted and their PCI slot numbers can be used for this
purpose. Unfortunately the existing interface for checking DMI
information of the system is not very convenient for this purpose,
because to use it, we would have to define special callback functions
or create a separate struct dmi_system_id table for each blacklisted
system.
To overcome this difficulty introduce a new function
dmi_first_match() returning a pointer to the first entry in an array
of struct dmi_system_id elements that matches the system DMI
information. Then, we can use this pointer to access the entry's
.driver_data field containing the additional information, such as
the PCI slot number, allowing us to do the desired blacklisting.

SATA: Blacklisting of systems that spin off disks during ACPI power off (rev. 2)
Introduce new libata flags ATA_FLAG_NO_POWEROFF_SPINDOWN and
ATA_FLAG_NO_HIBERNATE_SPINDOWN that, if set, will prevent disks from
being spun off during system power off and hibernation, respectively
(to handle the hibernation case we need the new system state
SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER that can be checked against by libata, in
analogy with SYSTEM_POWER_OFF).

Hm, I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but the point is to blacklist the
on-board controllers only and a devfn of the controller is needed for that,
or a part of it (like the slot number I'm using). Could that be done above
the driver level?

It can be done in one place via the libata core code I think rather than
in each driver. Might need to be a helper function but you'd at least
remove all the duplication.

I think it's better to keep the list in each LLD but having a helper in
libata-core would be nice.
