During hotplug, it is possible for 6Gbps link speed to be limited all the way down to 1.5 Gbps which may lead to a slower link speed when drive is re-connected. This behavior has been seen on a Intel Lewisburg SATA controller (8086:a1d2) with HGST HUH728080ALE600 drive where SATA link speed was limited to 1.5 Gbps and when re-connected the link came up 3.0 Gbps. This patch was retested on above configuration and showed the hotplugged link to come back online at max speed (6Gbps). I did not see the downgrade when testing on Intel C600/X79, but retested patched linux-4.14-rc5 kernel and didn't see any side effects from this change. Also, successfully retested hotplug on port multiplier 3Gbps link. tj: Minor comment updates. Signed-off-by: David Milburn <dmilburn@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
