Hi Martin,

Some devices advertise support for the READ/WRITE LOG DMA EXT commands

general purpose log page.

Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails while
reading a log page.

Have you seen both commands fail on any of the Samsung SSD 840 EVO
drives?

# dmesg | grep Samsung
[ 2.254443] ata10.00: ATA-9: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB, EXT0BB6Q, max UDMA/133

<dmesg output>
[    2.254390] ata10.00: READ LOG DMA EXT failed, trying unqueued
[    2.254441] ata10.00: failed to get NCQ Send/Recv Log Emask 0x1
<dmesg output>

(In this case it also failed READ LOG EXT)

This is linux-4.1.0-rc7 patched with the following from
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata.git/log/?h=for-4.2

libata: Allow NCQ TRIM to be enabled or disabled with a module parameter
libata: Expose TRIM capability in sysfs
libata: READ LOG DMA EXT support can be in either page 119 or 120
libata: Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails
libata: Fix regression when the NCQ Send and Receive log page is absent

Thanks,
David
