Yes, I now good a photo of one of those boot failures I mentioned, at it seems to be related to blk-mq, as the backtrace contains "blk_mq_terminate_expired". I add the screenshot to my bug report. [Possible REGRESSION, 4.16-rc4] Error updating SMART data during runtime and boot failures with blk_mq_terminate_expired in backtrace https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199077 Hans, I will test your LPM policy horkage for Crucial m500 patch at a later time. I first wanted to add the photo of the boot failure to the bug report. Ming and Bart, I added you to cc, cause I had to do with you about another blk-mq report, please feel free to adapt. Thanks, -- Martin
