Description Martin 2021-11-25 21:12:22 UTC
When booting 5.15.5, dmesg reproducably shows me these lines while loading the second disk in my laptop:
[    2.606827] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     ATA      CT1000MX500SSD1  023  PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

[    2.607109] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through

In 5.15.4 and before this is:
[    2.467770] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     ATA      CT1000MX500SSD1  023  PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

[    2.467992] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

For the time being, I'll be running 5.15.4 until I know what's going on in 5.15.5

Comment 2 Artem S. Tashkinov 2021-11-26 11:26:55 UTC
Could you revert either or all:

Damien Le Moal (3):
      scsi: core: Fix scsi_mode_sense() buffer length handling
      ata: libata: improve ata_read_log_page() error message
      ata: libata: add missing ata_identify_page_supported() calls

And check whether it helps?

CC'ing Damien since these patches are most likely to have caused this regression.
Comment 3 Martin 2021-11-26 13:44:55 UTC
Reverting
    scsi: core: Fix scsi_mode_sense() buffer length handling

fixes (at least the output of) the initialisation in 5.15.5+

I am seeing this also on Arch Linux with linux-5.15.5.

Nov 26 06:49:11 hyper kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through
Nov 26 06:49:11 hyper kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Asking for cache data failed

Nov 26 06:49:11 hyper kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 3907029168 512-byte logical blocks: (2.00 TB/1.82 TiB)

It would be great to get an idea how serious this is. For now I have reverted to linux-5.15.4.
Comment 5 MB 2021-11-26 19:44:48 UTC
Dear Maintainer,

the same here on Debian Sid with 5.15.5,
5.15.4 does not have this message.

Reverting only e15de347faf4a9f494cbd4e9a623d343dc1b5851 and the messages are no longer produced.  I attached dmesg output both with and without the commit for comparison.

Confirming the finding of Tom Yan in [1] fixed by cherry-picking c749301ebee82eb5e97dec14b6ab31a4aabe37a6

Comment 10 Artem S. Tashkinov 2021-11-27 01:26:53 UTC
Most likely going to be fixed in 5.15.6 or later.

5.15.5 still can be used but requires commit c749301ebee82eb5e97dec14b6ab31a4aabe37a6 as well.

Comment 11 Martin 2021-11-27 08:21:27 UTC
I can confirm that cherry-picking c749301ebee82eb5e97dec14b6ab31a4aabe37a6 (also) fixes the regression on 5.15.5 for me:
