All bmdma-style drivers must implement this hook. This is the low-level

operation that actually copies the data bytes during a PIO data

transfer.

Typically the driver

will choose one of ata_pio_data_xfer_noirq(), ata_pio_data_xfer(), or

ata_mmio_data_xfer().

The very first step in the probe phase. Actions vary depending
|
||||
on the bus type, typically. After waking up the device and probing
|
||||
for device presence (PATA and SATA), typically a soft reset
|
||||
(SRST) will be performed. Drivers typically use the helper
|
||||
functions ata_bus_reset() or sata_phy_reset() for this hook.
|
||||
Many SATA drivers use sata_phy_reset() or call it from within
|
||||
their own phy_reset() functions.

This is a high level error handling function, called from the
|
||||
error handling thread, when a command times out. Most newer
|
||||
hardware will implement its own error handling code here. IDE BMDMA
|

drivers may use the helper function ata_eng_timeout().

ata_port_freeze() is called when HSM violations or some other
|
||||
condition disrupts normal operation of the port. A frozen port
|
||||
is not allowed to perform any operation until the port is
|
||||
thawed, which usually follows a successful reset.

<para>
|

The optional ->freeze() callback can be used for freezing the port
|
||||
hardware-wise (e.g. mask interrupt and stop DMA engine). If a
|
||||
port cannot be frozen hardware-wise, the interrupt handler
|
||||
must ack and clear interrupts unconditionally while the port
|
||||
is frozen.

</para>

<para>
|

The optional ->thaw() callback is called to perform the opposite of ->freeze():

prepare the port for normal operation once again. Unmask interrupts,

start DMA engine, etc.

->error_handler() is a driver's hook into probe, hotplug, and recovery
|
||||
and other exceptional conditions. The primary responsibility of an
|
||||
implementation is to call ata_do_eh() or ata_bmdma_drive_eh() with a set

of EH hooks as arguments:
