Subject: RE: [PATCH] nvme-pci: disable write zeroes for SK Hynix BC901

Hi Keith,

Hope everything you are doing is well!

These days our teams tried several way to do further verification of this disable write zero patch for BC901, let me summarize as below :

1)	The chrome image with this new write zero disable code built with 5.15, has been verified and passed (< 20min mode switching time)
2)	Due to some limitations, Google team couldn't build a new chrome image with the suggested 6.5 or later version + this disable write zero patch for verification test.
3)	Tried to build image with 5.15 + disable write zero patch + DEAC merged, system can run but the testing result is failed (> 20min mode switching, actually 27~29mins).

Above is all we could do here for the verification of this patch, could you share us your comment or suggestion?

Thank you so much!

Thanks & Regards,
Hardaway.

Great, thanks for confirming. I've got this queued up internally, but want to check if Christoph's question could lead to a better outcome for everyone. For reference, asked here:

  https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2023-November/043298.html

If you were already testing close to upstream, 6.2 or newer, then this patch is already the best option.
