Damien Le Moal 24cfd86433 ata: ahci: Add mask_port_map module parameter 
Commits 0077a504e1 ("ahci: asm1166: correct count of reported ports")
and 9815e39617 ("ahci: asm1064: correct count of reported ports")
attempted to limit the ports of the ASM1166 and ASM1064 AHCI controllers
to avoid long boot times caused by the fact that these adapters report
a port map larger than the number of physical ports. The excess ports
are "virtual" to hide port multiplier devices and probing these ports
takes time. However, these commits caused a regression for users that do
use PMP devices, as the ATA devices connected to the PMP cannot be
scanned. These commits have thus been reverted by commit 6cd8adc3e1
("ahci: asm1064: asm1166: don't limit reported ports") to allow the
discovery of devices connected through a port multiplier. But this
revert re-introduced the long boot times for users that do not use a
port multiplier setup.

This patch adds the mask_port_map ahci module parameter to allow users
to manually specify port map masks for controllers. In the case of the
ASMedia 1166 and 1064 controllers, users that do not have port
multiplier devices can mask the excess virtual ports exposed by the
controller to speedup port scanning, thus reducing boot time.

The mask_port_map parameter accepts 2 different formats:
 - mask_port_map=<mask>
   This applies the same mask to all AHCI controllers
   present in the system. This format is convenient for small systems
   that have only a single AHCI controller.
 - mask_port_map=<pci_dev>=<mask>,<pci_dev>=mask,...
   This applies the specified masks only to the PCI device listed. The
   <pci_dev> field is a regular PCI device ID (domain🚌dev.func).
   This ID can be seen following "ahci" in the kernel messages. E.g.
   for "ahci 0000:01:00.0: 2/2 ports implemented (port mask 0x3)", the
   <pci_dev> field is "0000:01:00.0".

When used, the function ahci_save_initial_config() indicates that a
port map mask was applied with the message "masking port_map ...".
E.g.: without a mask:
modprobe ahci
dmesg | grep ahci
...
ahci 0000:00:17.0: AHCI vers 0001.0301, 32 command slots, 6 Gbps, SATA mode
ahci 0000:00:17.0: (0000:00:17.0) 8/8 ports implemented (port mask 0xff)

With a mask:
modprobe ahci mask_port_map=0000:00:17.0=0x1
dmesg | grep ahci
...
ahci 0000:00:17.0: masking port_map 0xff -> 0x1
ahci 0000:00:17.0: AHCI vers 0001.0301, 32 command slots, 6 Gbps, SATA mode
ahci 0000:00:17.0: (0000:00:17.0) 1/8 ports implemented (port mask 0x1)

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
