dmesg of the errors causing the problem

When I use my laptop, suddenly the SSD disk become unusable. The disk is
mounted in read-only mode and the only way to get it work again is to reboot.
During the reboot, the file system check, fixes the errors and I can use the
laptop for some hours after that the problem appear again.

This problem is difficult to reproduce because there are no precise steps to
perform in order to cause the I/O errors showed by the attached dmesg. 

I had the same problem using kernel 3.11.5 and 3.10.6. I use a
Sony VAIO pro (Sony Corporation SVP1321C5E/VAIO, BIOS R1040V7 09/09/2013).
