Hi.
I get repeated "WRITE SAME" failed errors with
"SAS1064ET" Controller (mptsas driver). Excerpt:

I tested with commit 66c28f97120e8a ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME
heuristics") but that had no effect.
I would be grateful for any other ideas/fixes to try.
For the time being, I applied following hack which suppresses

In case it helps, the WARN yiels following backtrace:
