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. > So please - don't do this.

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, Niklas
