[PATCHv2] ata: sata_dwc_460ex: preserve sactive_issued state across ISR invocations
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 17:46:43 EST
Zeroing hsdev->sactive_issued on every ISR entry destroys the NCQ tag
tracking that must persist across interrupts. This field is populated
in the NEWFP (DMA Setup FIS) handler and used in subsequent DMAT (DMA
Transfer Complete) interrupts to determine which tags have completed
via the formula tag_mask = (sactive_issued | sactive) ^ sactive.
With the zeroing in place, sactive_issued is always cleared before a
DMAT interrupt can read it, so the NCQ completion path never identifies
completed tags correctly. The command completion then falls back to
the non-NCQ path using ap->link.active_tag, which works for a single
outstanding command but produces wrong results when multiple NCQ tags
are in flight.
Remove the spurious zeroing and fix the NCQ/non-NCQ discrimination:
when tag_mask is zero but the active command is NCQ, all tracked tags
are still in SCR_ACTIVE and no completion processing is needed.
