libata: EH should handle AMNF error condition as a media error
libata-eh.c should handle AMNF error condition (error byte bit 0, usually code 0x01) in libata-eh.c along with UNC as a media error so SCSI stack can handle it properly (translation code 0x01 is already present in libata-scsi.c) but was never passed down due to lack of handling in EH. While using linux-based machine (AMD 6550M-based notebook, PCI IDs for the controller are 1022:7801 subsys 1025:059d) and ddrescue to salvage data from failing hard drive (WD7500BPVT 2.5" 750G SATA2), I've found that pure AMNF 0x01 error code generates generic "device error" that is retried several times by SCSI stack instead of "media error" that is passed up to software. So we may assume deprecated AMNF error code is surely not dead yet, and it's better for it to be handled properly. As we may see it is used by modern enough devices, and used properly: drive returned AMNF only when IDs for track cannot be read completely due to dying head or positioning, otherwise it returned UNC(orrectables). Not handling it causes wrong generic error code ("device error") reporting down the stack, can damage failing drives further because of excessive retries, and slows salvaging down a lot. Also, there is handling code in libata-scsi.c for 0x01 AMNF error already. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80031 tj: Shortened $SUBJ and moved its content to the first paragraph.
