########################################################## CONCLUSION (mainline kernel) ---------------------------- Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:58:57 +0100 10:58:57 up 23:45, 4 users, load average: 0,11, 0,12, 0,19 Finally got quite stable system with some error remaining. A. What DID "solve" the problem: ---------------------------------- 1. Disabling the POWER: PCIe / PCI powermanagementin the bios. I seemed to work, but did not in the end. After a while a hard reset occured and the system freezed. That's why additional tasks are necessary: 2. The usage of the tlp package seams to force PCIe powermangement, at least with my settings (see formerly attached files). Since freezes also occured with ubuntu 12.04, it should not be a problem with the tlp package itself, but the machine. Removing tlp seems to work. 3. Additionally disabling PCIe powermanagement by adding the boot parameter libata.noacpi=1 seams to be crucial. 4. Adding "options libata noacpi=1" in "/etc/modprobe.conf" is also crucial for getting a stable system after supsend or resume. 5. I also applied the Thinkpad dock / undock scripts from comment #34 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1269777/comments/34). Without this, I enountered various problems when docking / undocking the machine. B. What did NOT solve the problem: ------------------------------- 1. Using a different SSD (Samsung 840 Pro instead of 840 EVO) is not the point. The same problems did occur with both type of hardware. 2. Using the mainline, the standard or an older kernel lead to the same problems. 3. Adding the libata.noncq=1 kernel option is not necessay and not advised due to performance (see comment #44) Nevertheless: the error messages in dmesg "failed to get NCQ Send/Recv Log Emask 0x1" remain. 4. Using the SATA/Compatibility mode in bios. 5. I also applied the kernel parameters "libata.force=1:3.0Gbps,2:1,5Gbps,2:80c modprobe.blacklist=pata_acpi" which lead to the same results: ata1 was limited to 1,5 Gbps after a while. Also created an /etc/modprobe.conf with this content: "options libata noacpi=1 force=1:3.0Gbps,2:1.5Gbps,2:40c" C. What causes still problems: ------------------------------- 1. Hibernation: seams to force upcoming of hard resets. In the end this forces the kernel to set the ata1 device to a limit of 1,5 Gbps (when libata.noacpi=1 is applied) 2. After a while ata1 is limited to 1,5 Gbps. 2. Setting modprobe.conf and kernel parameters is far from perfect. D. FURTHER TESTING ------------------- 1. Apply the SSD of another Tinkpad (X201 / Samsung EVO 830) to this machine for testing purpose. Just to see if this is really a problem with the Samsung 840 series SSD. 2. Test "safe" settings the Trusty mainline kernel. 3. Talking to the maintainer of the tlp package - this might solve interferences with PCIe powermangement. 4. Testing a normal harddisk with PCIe on, without libata kernel boot options and tlp and see if it works. Please be patient, this could take a few days, if not weeks. E. SUMMARY ---------- The problem occur with PCIe powermanagement ENABLED in bios and NOT applying the libata.noacpi=1 kernel parameter. Also the tlp package seems to force the usage of PCIe powermanagement and should not be used with this machine / bios. At January 15th, I had a running system (see at the beginning the attached log to this post) with kernel 3.12.7. This had been exact the same settings from [1. - 3.], except with 3.12.7 kernel. So I think this are the minimum requirements getting things done. F. QUESTIONS --------- 1. Is there any chance that this might be a problem that can be fixed by the kernel? 2. Does anybody know how to report this to lenovo? 3. Probably this might be a hardware problem, not just firmware / biso related? F. ATTACHMENTS: ------------ Attached you'll find dmesg.log for the actual uptime since last boot on Sun, 19 Jan 2014 12:32:45 +0100. ** Attachment added: "dmesg_egrep_ata_scsi_BOOT.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1269777/+attachment/3954221/+files/dmesg_egrep_ata_scsi_BOOT.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1269777 Title: [ Ubuntu 14.04 - Lenovo W510 - SSD Samsung 840 PRO] Sudden Read-Only Filesystem Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Like mentioned in bug #1266305 (and before in bug #1265309) the following problem occured: 1. System -------------------------- - Ubuntu 14 04 LTS (acutal development branch) - linux-image-generic v. 3.13.x, mainline kernel 3.13.x (first testing the standard kernel), last 3.12 mainline kernel - lvm with trim support (batched discard) - tlp (currently disabled for testing purpose) 2. Hardware: --------------------------- - Lenovo W510 i7 quad core - SSD Samsung 840 Pro (former Samsung 840 EVO, was changed in hope that the problem disapears) - nvidia graphics BIOS (defaults F9) and: - BIOS Mode Standard 1: SATA: AHCI, POWER: pci and pcie power management AUTOMATIC - BIOS Mode Standard 2: SATA: AHCI, POWER: pci and pcie power management OFF - BIOS Mode Compat 1: SATA: Compatability Mode, POWER: pci and pcie power management AUTOMATIC - BIOS Mode Compat 2: SATA: Compatability Mode, POWER: pci and pcie power management OFF 3. Problem descripton ----------------------------------------------- The SSD randomly freezes with the following errors: ata1: EH complete ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps ata1.00: exception Emask 0x52 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x1a80d00 action 0x6 frozen ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error ata1: SError: { UnrecovData Proto HostInt 10B8B BadCRC LinkSeq TrStaTrns } ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED ata1.00: cmd 60/08:00:d8:b9:27/00:00:05:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 4096 in ata1.00: status: { DRDY } ata1: hard resetting link ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) Probably affect other Thinkpad models too: - http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/309288-bsod-after-few-minutes-5-55-minutes-samsung-ssd-840-evo.html - [GERMAN] http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/168841-Freezes-nach-Einbau-einer-neuen-SSD?p=1698795#post1698795 - http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/ubuntu-freeze-issue-after-ssd-upgrade 4. Troubleshooting so far ------------------------------------------------ 4.1. Kernel boot parameters: libata.force=1:3.0G,2:1,5G libata.force=noncq -> not working. DRDY, hard restting link. 4.2. BIOS Mode Compat 2 (Compat, PCI powermangement OFF), no additional kernel boot parameters. System ran with standard generic kernel 3.13.x for over 12 hours usage without any problems. I did some suspend/ resume cycles: no problems. 5. Further testing: -------------------------------------------------------- Testing scenarios will be applied in the follwowing structure (if necessary) 5.1 Testing the standard trusty kernel (linux-image-generic) 5.1.1. with all BIOS modes. 5.1.2. eventually kernel boot parameters 5.2. Testing the latest mainline kernel with all BIOS modes. 5.2.1. with all BIOS modes. 5.2.2. eventually kernel boot parameters This could take a few days, so be patient. Keeping fingers crossed ;-) P.S-.: Thanks a lot for Christopher M. Penalver for his excellent assistance so far! ###################################################################### Wed, 15 Jan 2014 18:00:00 +0100 - installed mainline kernel 3.13.0-031300rc8-generic - BIOS: SATA: Compatibility, POWER: pci / pcie power management OFF (!) - no tlp No problems until the next day (switched POWER management for pci and pcie on) ###################################################################### Thu, 16 Jan 2014 13:18:45 +0100 - installed linux-image-generic -> 3.13.0-3-generic - BIOS: SATA: AHCI, POWER: pci/pcie power management AUTOMATIC - Reboot with new standard kernel - no tlp yet! ###################################################################### ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-generic 3.13.0.3.6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-3.18-generic 3.13.0-rc8 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-3-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.13.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: apos 3069 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: apos 3069 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Jan 16 12:35:13 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=7290992b-11df-4d5c-a9bc-579dafe5eb61 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-01-08 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20140105) MachineType: LENOVO 4391E46 ProcFB: ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-3-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-3-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-3-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.121 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 10/03/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 6NET84WW (1.45 ) dmi.board.name: 4391E46 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr6NET84WW(1.45):bd10/03/2012:svnLENOVO:pn4391E46:pvrThinkPadW510:rvnLENOVO:rn4391E46:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 4391E46 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad W510 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1269777/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
