So this does not apply cleanly on top of my patch. I'll forward my patch to you as an attached .eml file. You should "git am <file>.eml" that file on top of the latest linux-block/for-next and then rebase your patch on top of that. > - ATA_HORKAGE_ZERO_AFTER_TRIM, }, > + ATA_HORKAGE_ZERO_AFTER_TRIM | > + ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD, }, > { "Samsung SSD 870*", NULL, ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM | Idem for this line. > - ATA_HORKAGE_ZERO_AFTER_TRIM, }, > + ATA_HORKAGE_ZERO_AFTER_TRIM | > + ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD, }, > { "FCCT*M500*", NULL, ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM | > ATA_HORKAGE_ZERO_AFTER_TRIM, }, > > diff --git a/include/linux/libata.h b/include/linux/libata.h > index 860e63f5667b..cdc248a15763 100644 > --- a/include/linux/libata.h > +++ b/include/linux/libata.h > @@ -426,6 +426,7 @@ enum { > ATA_HORKAGE_NOTRIM = (1 << 24), /* don't use TRIM */ > ATA_HORKAGE_MAX_SEC_1024 = (1 << 25), /* Limit max sects to 1024 */ > ATA_HORKAGE_MAX_TRIM_128M = (1 << 26), /* Limit max trim size to 128M */ > + ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD = (1 << 27), /* Disable NCQ on AMD chipset */ > > /* DMA mask for user DMA control: User visible values; DO NOT > renumber */ As discussed elsewhere in this thread, you should allow setting/clearing this flag from the libata.force kernel commandline option by adding the following extra bit to the patch: diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-core.c b/drivers/ata/libata-core.c index daa375c7e763..e2e900085f99 100644 --- a/drivers/ata/libata-core.c +++ b/drivers/ata/libata-core.c @@ -6136,6 +6136,8 @@ static int __init ata_parse_force_one(char **cur, { "ncq", .horkage_off = ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ }, { "noncqtrim", .horkage_on = ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM }, { "ncqtrim", .horkage_off = ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM }, + { "noncqamd", .horkage_on = ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD }, + { "ncqamd", .horkage_off = ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD }, { "dump_id", .horkage_on = ATA_HORKAGE_DUMP_ID }, { "pio0", .xfer_mask = 1 << (ATA_SHIFT_PIO + 0) }, { "pio1", .xfer_mask = 1 << (ATA_SHIFT_PIO + 1) }, Regards, Hans
