Hi,
Does this fix a bug that actually happened?
I just noticed that in my lchs patches I assumed that lchs struct is zeroed out in all devices (not only ahci):
9caa19be0e53 (geometry: Apply LCHS values for boot devices)
Seems like this is not the case but why only ahci is affected?
The list of devices is at least:
* ata * ahci * scsi * esp * lsi * megasas * mpt * pvscsi * virtio * virtio-blk
As specified in the commit message.
Also Gerd it seems that my lchs patches were not committed in the latest submitted version (v4)!!! The ABI of the fw config key is completely broken.

We should make sure drive.lchs is zeroed out for the following devices:
git grep "drive_s drive"

Sorry the correct list (which includes ahci) is:
git grep "drive_s * drive"
src/hw/ahci.h: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/ata.h: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/esp-scsi.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/lsi-scsi.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/megasas.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/mpt-scsi.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/nvme-int.h: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/pvscsi.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/sdcard.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/usb-msc.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/usb-uas.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/virtio-blk.c: struct drive_s drive; src/hw/virtio-scsi.c: struct drive_s drive;
Went over this list now, seems only ahci_port_alloc was missing memset(0) so after this patch all of the devices that contain lchs are covered.
But we still need to revert my lchs patches and reapply them with the newest version (v4)

What do you mean? Can you be more specific?
Sure,
There are two issues here.
The first issue is that my commits which applied to seabios master:
* 9caa19b - geometry: Apply LCHS values for boot devices * cb56f61 - config: Add toggle for bootdevice information * ad29109 - geometry: Add boot_lchs_find_*() utility functions * b3d2120 - boot: Reorder functions in boot.c * 7c66a43 - geometry: Read LCHS from fw_cfg
Are not from the latest version which was submitted to the mailing list (v4) * fw_cfg key name has changed * The value and of the key has changed from binary (v1) to textual (v4) * Other fixes and variable name changes.
So these commits need to be reverted and reapplied with the latest version (v4)
The second issue is that my commits, (in v4 too) will require this fix that Gerd added ([PATCH] ahci: zero-initialize port struct) since they change how SeaBIOS uses lchs.
Previously, before any of my commits, drive.lchs could contain "random crap" since it was always set before being used in setup_translation().
After my patches, get_translation() invokes overriden_lchs_supplied() which checks: "return drive->lchs.cylinder || drive->lchs.head || drive->lchs.sector;" So there is an assumption that "drive->lchs" is zeroed when lchs is not supplied for the host.
This was true for all devices using "drive->lchs" (all were memset to 0) except ahci. (I used 'git grep "drive_s * drive"' to find them all).
So Gerd fix is indeed needed and then all devices are covered (drive->lchs is memset to 0).
Now only the first issue remains...

Yes, "make check-qtest" may fail. It's kind of random though.
I just noticed that in my lchs patches I assumed that lchs struct is zeroed out in all devices (not only ahci):
ahci was the only one not zeroing out the struct (yes, I've reviewed them all).

Whoops. Can you sent a patch seabios/master ... v4 please?
IIRC there didn't change much, mostly the parser function, so that should be alot less churn than a full revert + v4 reapply.
thanks, Gerd
Do you want a single commit with the changes?
I am afraid it will be slightly unreadable when looking at file histories. The only commit that didn't change was: [SeaBIOS] [PATCH v4 2/5] boot: Reorder functions in boot.c

That is the idea, unless it is too messy. I don't have v4 any more, looks like I've deleted v4 instead of v3 while cleaning up my mail folders, so I can't easily check. Do you have v3 and v4 as git branches somewhere?
I am afraid it will be slightly unreadable when looking at file histories. The only commit that didn't change was: [SeaBIOS] [PATCH v4 2/5] boot: Reorder functions in boot.c
Hmm, looks like there have been more changes than I remember. Maybe it's better to revert and re-apply the changed patches then.

Yep, v3..v4 diff is pretty big, so revert + apply v4 looks more reasonable. Can you have a look and double-check?
