Thanks, v5 looks good to me, but in the mean time I've also gotten the
first replies to my request to collect PCI-ids on systems having this
issue and it looks like checking for PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD might not be
the right thing to do.
Tor Vic who has a very recent motherboard which does not show this
issue reports the following pci-ids:
06:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH
SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1022:7901] (rev 51)
07:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH
SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1022:7901] (rev 51)
Where as we now have a bunch of lspci -nn outputs from different motherboard
with the issue from: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201693 :
00:11.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1002:4391] (rev 40)
00:11.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1002:4391] (rev 40)
00:11.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1002:4391] (rev 40)
00:11.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1002:4391]
00:11.0 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [1002:4391]
Notice these are basically all the same; and it seems these are
all from the AMD/ATI period where the motherboars chipset where still
using PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI as vendor-id.
So it looks like we actually need to disable NCQ for Samsung 860/870
devices when the SATA controller has a vendor-id of PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI
rather then AMD.
So lets wait a bit for some more info to become available and then
I think we need a v6 with s/AMD/ATI/ (everywhere, also in the name
of the horkage-flag, the cmdline options, etc.).
Regards,
Hans
