commit 72aad489f992871e908ff6d9055b26c6366fb864 upstream. The {dma|pio}_mode sysfs files are incorrectly documented as having a list of the supported DMA/PIO transfer modes, while the corresponding fields of the *struct* ata_device hold the transfer mode IDs, not masks. To match these docs, the {dma|pio}_mode (and even xfer_mode!) sysfs files are handled by the ata_bitfield_name_match() macro which leads to reading such kind of nonsense from them: $ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode XFER_UDMA_7, XFER_UDMA_6, XFER_UDMA_5, XFER_UDMA_4, XFER_MW_DMA_4, XFER_PIO_6, XFER_PIO_5, XFER_PIO_4, XFER_PIO_3, XFER_PIO_2, XFER_PIO_1, XFER_PIO_0 Using the correct ata_bitfield_name_search() macro fixes that: $ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode XFER_PIO_4 While fixing the file documentation, somewhat reword the {dma|pio}_mode file doc and add a note about being mostly useful for PATA devices to the xfer_mode file doc...

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 Restructured Text 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.
