The four out of five patches were originally part of a larger series,
sent out on Wednesday:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ide/20240626180031.4050226-15-cassel@xxxxxxxxxx/

They have been tested using:
rmmod + modprobe + rmmod + modprobe on:
-AMD AHCI controller
-QEMU AHCI controller
-pm8001 SAS (libsas) controller

Both with a debug patch that forced an error,
and without any additional debug patch.

Ensuring that:
-The error/crash was fixed (in case of forced error)
-That all devices show up as intended (in case of no forced error)

So it probably looks worse than it is.

Understood!

FWIW, even with the testing done, I would never even have considered
doing the same if we were later in the release cycle.


Kind regards,
