Public bug reported: Some SSD drives made by LiteOn can crash the kernel due to bad drivers. A fix for this issue has been submitted upstream: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata.git/commit/?h=for-4.15-fixes
LITEON EP1 has the same timeout issues as CX1 series devices. Revert max_sectors to the value of 1024. 'e0edc8c54646 ("libata: apply MAX_SEC_1024 to all CX1-JB*-HP devices")' Signed-off-by: Xinyu Lin <xinyu0...@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <t...@kernel.org> Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org At a high level the root cause of this problem is that the device only supports commands with a transfer size up to 512KB. This worked fine with older versions of Linux but newer versions are attempting commands with a transfer size of 1280KB which is problematic for this device (LITEON EP1-KB480) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743053 Title: libata: apply MAX_SEC_1024 to all LITEON EP1 series devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1743053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
