Linus, The following changes since commit 58768b0563916ddcb73d8ed26ede664915f8df31: ata: libata-scsi: Fix CDL control (2025-08-14 18:58:12 +0900) are available in the Git repository at: ssh://git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/libata/linux tags/ata-6.17-rc4 for you to fetch changes up to 82b8166171bdebbc74717e4a0cfb4b89cd0510aa: ata: ahci_xgene: Use int type for 'rc' to store error codes (2025-08-28 13:36:14 +0900) ---------------------------------------------------------------- ata fixes for 6.17-rc4 - Fix the type of return values to be signed in the ahci_xgen driver (Qianfeng). - Add the mask_port_ext module parameter to the ahci driver. This is to allow a user to ignore ports that are advertized as external (hotplug capable) in favor of lower link power management policies instead of the default max_performance for these ports. This is useful to allow e.g. laptops to go into low power states when hooked up to docking station with sata slots, connected with an external port for hotplug (me). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Damien Le Moal (1): ata: ahci: Allow ignoring the external/hotplug capability of ports Qianfeng Rong (1): ata: ahci_xgene: Use int type for 'rc' to store error codes drivers/ata/ahci.c | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- drivers/ata/ahci.h | 1 + drivers/ata/ahci_xgene.c | 7 ++---- 3 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-)
