I'd like to follow-up on this bug - it affects me using kernel 4.19.0 on
a Dell XPS 9550 with a 1TB Samsung drive. Details below. Do I need to
open a new bug as I've got a 1TB drive and this bug report was opened
for a 512GB drive?

A few weeks back I reformatted my machine due to Dropbox's requirement
to drop encrypted home folders (I went for full-disk encryption). I'm
using Linux Mint 19.0. I used to run kernel 4.9.91, I had to stick to
that in my previous machine's Mint installation as >4.9.91 had boot
issues (e.g. missing firmware for my wifi) and going 4.10+ caused other
issues including, from memory, strange disk issues that I didn't track
down along with occasional GPU+second screen issues. I was keen to
upgrade to 4.10+ but sticking to 4.9.91 gave me a stable machine. I'm
keen to push on now that I'm running on a fresh installation.

Having installed Mint 19.0 and upgraded to 4.19.0 I was happy that everything 
worked...until left idle for a while when I got similar errors to the ones 
noted here:
Oct 31 11:33:04 ian-XPS-15-9550 kernel: EXT4-fs (dm-1): mounted filesystem with 
ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
Oct 31 11:33:04 ian-XPS-15-9550 kernel: EXT4-fs (dm-1): re-mounted. Opts: 
errors=remount-ro
Oct 31 11:33:05 ian-XPS-15-9550 kernel: EXT4-fs (nvme0n1p1): mounted filesystem 
with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
Oct 31 15:09:44 ian-XPS-15-9550 kernel: EXT4-fs (dm-1): mounted filesystem with 
ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
Oct 31 15:09:44 ian-XPS-15-9550 kernel: EXT4-fs (dm-1): re-mounted. Opts: 
errors=remount-ro
Oct 31 15:09:44 ian-XPS-15-9550 kernel: EXT4-fs (nvme0n1p1): mounted filesystem 
with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

After this state the machine would be unusable due to a read-only
filesystem.

So far I've only exprerimented with disabling APSTE (using: `sudo nvme
set-feature -f 0x0c -v=0 /dev/nvme0`) - if I do this after every awaken
from suspend then I'm able to use the laptop for over a week without
issues with many suspended sessions. If I forget to disable APSTE after
awakening from suspend then I lose the hard-drive to a read-only state
in 1-2 hours depending on usage.

I'm going to start experimenting with adding the grub boot parameter to
try different values starting with
`nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=250`. I figured opening up this
report and taking guidance on what you'd need and whether I needed a new
bug report would get the ball rolling.

Much obliged! Ian.

Note that the following command was run after I disabled APSTE, I'm not
sure if the results vary before/after settting APSTE, I can re-run it if
that's useful after a fresh boot:

$ sudo nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0
