libata: implement support for 32-bit PIO transfers

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Thu Apr 17 2008 - 17:59:41 EST


This patch implements ATA_IOC_GET_IO32/ATA_IOC_SET_IO32 ioctls and
gets/sets the new ATA_DFLAG_32BIT_PIO ata flag accordingly for the
device. It only supports values 0 and 1 (disable/enable), as I have
no plan to implement the sync VLB transfers.

When ATA_DFLAG_32BIT_PIO is set in ata flags, PIO transfers will be
performed in 32-bit, just like with the plain old IDE drivers.

16-bit transfers in libata are as slow as 16-bit transfers in plain
old IDE drivers, which are about 35% slower than 32-bit transfers
with various CF and DOM. This patch restores the performance to
pre-libata level, which is a nice improvement for many small systems
relying on such hardware. On an ALIX board equipped with a 64 MB CF
card, transfer speed went up from 1.49 MB/sec to 2.41 MB/s, which
represents a net gain of 61%.

To enable 32-bit transfers, simply proceed like before with
IDE :

# hdparm -c 1 /dev/sda
