The JMicron JMS561U (notably used in the Sabrent SATA-to-USB
bridge) appears to have UAS-related issues when copying large
amounts of data, causing it to stall.

Disabling the advertised UAS (either through a command-line
quirk or through this patch) mitigates those issues.

Hmm, this is a quiete popular usb2sata bridge and disabling uas
is quite bad for performance.

I notice that there is no link to a bug report and AFAIK we have
no one else reporting this issue.

So this feels like a much too big hammer for the problem which you
are seeing.

When you say "stall" what exactly happens? Do you see any errors
in dmesg for example?

Also note that using UAS, since it has much better performance,
will often expose bugs which are not caused by it. One typical
example is bus-powered devices where the USB port does not deliver
enough power (typically the driver draws more then the port
guanrantees). Copying large amounts of data on a fast device is
a good way to make the current consumption go up and thus
trigger these kind of issues.  Does the driver enclosure
you see this on use a separate power supply, or is it
bus-powered?

Regards,

Hans
