On all kernels 5.15.x and 5.16.x I noticed that resetting the USB devices with this shell script: for i in $(ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/|grep :) do echo $i echo $i >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/unbind sleep 1 echo $i >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/bind done # reseting USB3 ports (if there none you'll get errors) for i in $(ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/|grep :) do echo $i echo $i >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/unbind sleep 1 echo $i >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/bind done immediately leads to a non-functional system, because the discs face I/O errors and will switch to read-only mode. Effectively I have to reboot the machine. It's reproduceable for me on two completely different x86 machines with different USB devices.
