Subject: libata: Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails
From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5d3abf8ff67f49271a42c0f7fa4f20f9e046bf0e upstream.
Some devices advertise support for the READ/WRITE LOG DMA EXT commands
but fail when we try to issue them. This can lead to queued TRIM being
unintentionally disabled since the relevant feature flag is located in a
general purpose log page.
Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails while
reading a log page.
