libata: reimplement reset sequencing
libata previously depended upon waits in prereset to get resets after hotplug right for both spin up and device ready wait. This was necessary both for reliablity and speed as reset was likely to fail if initiated too early and each try usually took more than 30secs to fail. Previous patches fixed the reliability part by fixing status and SCR handling in resets. This patch remedies the speed part by improving reset sequencing. Prereset waiting timeout is adjusted to 10s because spinup wait is replaced by reset sequencing and !BSY wait is not as important as before. During boot or module loading where the drive is already fully spun up, !BSY wait succeeds immediately, so 10s should be enough in most cases. It matters after hotplugging or other error conditions, but in those cases, !BSY wait in prereset simply can't be relied upon due to the varied and weird behaviors ATA controllers and devices show. Reset is now driven by ata_eh_reset_timeouts[] table which contains timeouts for each reset try. The first reset can be softreset but the following ones are always hardreset if available. Each timeout defines deadline for the reset try. If a reset try fails, reset is retried with the next timeout till the end of the timeout table is reached. If a reset try fails before the timeout with error, libata waits till the deadline of the failed try before retrying. IOW, the timeout table defines timetable of reset tries such that the n'th try always begins at least after the sum of all previous timeouts has passed. The current timetable defines 4 tries and takes around 1 minute. @0 : First try. This should succeed most of the time during boot. @10 : 10s is enough to spin up most consumer harddrives. Give it another shot. @20 : 20s should spin up > 99% of working drives. This has 30s timeout for retarded devices needing long idleness post reset. @55 : Final try with 5s timeout just in case. The above timetable is trade off between not annoying the device too much with frequent resets and taking reasonable amount of time in most cases. Some controllers may do better with shorter timeouts while others may fare better with longer but we just can't rely upon LLD writers to test each controller with wide variety of devices using various scenarios. We need default behavior which reasonably fits most cases. I've tested the above timetable on a dozen SATA controllers and a few PATA controllers with about a dozen different drives from all major vendors and 4 different ODDs from three different vendors for both boot and hotplug (if available) cases. Boot probing is not affected unless the device is broken in which cases new code gives up on the port after a minute rather than five or nine minutes. When hotplugging, most devices get detected on the first or second try. Multi-platter drives with long spin up time which sometimes took > 40 secs with the original code, now usually comes up during the second try and at least right after the third try @20.
