OK, thanks for checking that.

I don't know what evolution stage means, but it sounds like you do
need an upstream fix.

I don't understand the root cause of the problem yet, so I don't know
what the best solution for you is.  Turning off LTR and ASPM
completely is a pretty big hammer.  Ideally we could isolate this to
certain devices or certain pieces of ASPM so we could still get some
of the benefit.

  - Do you need to disable LTR on the entire system, or just for the
    Samsung NVMe device?

  - Do you need to disable LTR if you replace the Samsung device with
    something else?

  - LTR is only needed for the ASPM L1.2 substate.  Do you need to
    completely disable ASPM, or is it sufficient to disable LTR and
    the ASPM L1.2 substate?

Here are some patches you can try.  These require some tweaking based
on what the root cause of the problem is.

  1  PCI/ACPI: Request control of LTR from the platform
  2  PCI/ASPM: Disable ASPM L1.2 Substate if we don't have LTR
  3  PCI: Enable LTR only if ASPM is enabled
  4  PCI: Disable LTR for Samsung NVMe SSD Controller SM961/PM961

If LTR is completely broken for all devices on your platform, and
disabling it and the ASPM L1.2 substate is sufficient, you could use
patches 1 and 2 along with a PCI or DMI quirk to clear
host->native_ltr.  That should prevent use of LTR and the ASPM L1.2
substate.

Patch 3 should disable LTR as well as all of ASPM (not just the ASPM
L1.2 substate) if you boot with "pcie_aspm=off".  I don't like this
very well because the user experience is poor -- you need a release
note or something telling the user to boot with "pcie_aspm=off", which
is a really ugly solution.

If the problem is some sort of interaction between the Samsung SSD and
your platform, you could use patches 2 and 4 to disable LTR and ASPM
L1.2 just for that device in your system.  Of course, you would need
to add a DMI or similar check in the quirk, because we can't disable 
LTR and ASPM L1.2 for the Samsung SSD in *all* systems.

I think patches 1-3 are candidates for the mainline kernel, regardless
of whether you need them yourself.

    PCI/ACPI: Request control of LTR from the platform
    
    Per the PCI Firmware spec r3.2, sec 4.5, the OS should request control of
    Latency Tolerance Reporting (LTR) before using it.  LTR is only required
    for the ASPM L1.2 Substate.
    
    If we support ASPM, request control of LTR.  If the platform does not grant
    us control of LTR, don't use it.

    PCI/ASPM: Disable ASPM L1.2 Substate if we don't have LTR
    
    When in the ASPM L1.0 state (but not the PCI-PM L1.0 state), the most
    recent LTR value and the LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD determines whether the link
    enters the L1.2 substate.
    
    If we don't have LTR enabled, prevent the use of ASPM L1.2.
    
    PCI-PM L1.2 may still be used because it doesn't depend on
    LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD (see PCIe r4.0, sec 5.5.1).

    This is just for testing purposes.  Obviously we can't disable LTR (and
    hence ASPM L1 Substates) for this device in *all* systems, because it works
    in most cases.
