[PATCH 4/9] hw/ide/ahci: simplify and document PxCI handling

[Niklas Cassel]

From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@wdc.com>

The AHCI spec states that:
For NCQ, PxCI is cleared on command queued successfully.

For non-NCQ, PxCI is cleared on command completed successfully.
(A non-NCQ command that completes with error does not clear PxCI.)

The current QEMU implementation either clears PxCI in check_cmd(),
or in ahci_cmd_done().

check_cmd() will clear PxCI for a command if handle_cmd() returns 0.
handle_cmd() will return -1 if BUSY or DRQ is set.

The QEMU implementation for NCQ commands will currently not set BUSY
or DRQ, so they will always have PxCI cleared by handle_cmd().
ahci_cmd_done() will never even get called for NCQ commands.

Non-NCQ commands are executed by ide_bus_exec_cmd().
Non-NCQ commands in QEMU are implemented either in a sync or in an async
way.

For non-NCQ commands implemented in a sync way, the command handler will
return true, and when ide_bus_exec_cmd() sees that a command handler
returns true, it will call ide_cmd_done() (which will call
ahci_cmd_done()). For a command implemented in a sync way,
ahci_cmd_done() will do nothing (since busy_slot is not set). Instead,
after ide_bus_exec_cmd() has finished, check_cmd() will clear PxCI for
these commands.

For non-NCQ commands implemented in an async way (using either aiocb or
pio_aiocb), the command handler will return false, ide_bus_exec_cmd()
will not call ide_cmd_done(), instead it is expected that the async
callback function will call ide_cmd_done() once the async command is
done. handle_cmd() will set busy_slot, if and only if BUSY or DRQ is
set, and this is checked _after_ ide_bus_exec_cmd() has returned.
handle_cmd() will return -1, so check_cmd() will not clear PxCI.
When the async callback calls ide_cmd_done() (which will call
ahci_cmd_done()), it will see that busy_slot is set, and
ahci_cmd_done() will clear PxCI.

This seems racy, since busy_slot is set _after_ ide_bus_exec_cmd() has
returned. The callback might come before busy_slot gets set. And it is
quite confusing that ahci_cmd_done() will be called for all non-NCQ
commands when the command is done, but will only clear PxCI in certain
cases, even though it will always write a D2H FIS and raise an IRQ.

Even worse, in the case where ahci_cmd_done() does not clear PxCI, it
still raises an IRQ. Host software might thus read an old PxCI value,
since PxCI is cleared (by check_cmd()) after the IRQ has been raised.

Try to simplify this by always setting busy_slot for non-NCQ commands,
such that ahci_cmd_done() will always be responsible for clearing PxCI
for non-NCQ commands.

For NCQ commands, clear PxCI when we receive the D2H FIS, but before
raising the IRQ, see AHCI 1.3.1, section 5.3.8, states RegFIS:Entry and
RegFIS:ClearCI.
