commit 71d6c505b4d9e6f76586350450e785e3d452b346 upstream.

Jeffrin reported a KASAN issue:

  BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in ata_exec_internal_sg+0x50f/0xc70
  Read of size 16 at addr ffffffff91f41f80 by task scsi_eh_1/149
  ...
  The buggy address belongs to the variable:
    cdb.48319+0x0/0x40

Much like commit 18c9a99bce2a ("libata: zpodd: small read overflow in
eject_tray()"), this fixes a cdb[] buffer length, this time in
zpodd_get_mech_type():

We read from the cdb[] buffer in ata_exec_internal_sg(). It has to be
ATAPI_CDB_LEN (16) bytes long, but this buffer is only 12 bytes.

commit 31f6264e225fb92cf6f4b63031424f20797c297d upstream.

We've received a bugreport that using LPM with ST1000LM024 drives leads
to system lockups. So it seems that these models are buggy in more then
1 way. Add NOLPM quirk to the existing quirks entry for BROKEN_FPDMA_AA.

commit dd957493baa586f1431490f97f9c7c45eaf8ab10 upstream.

We've received a bugreport that using LPM with a SAMSUNG
MZ7TE512HMHP-000L1 SSD leads to system instability, we already have
a quirk for the MZ7TD256HAFV-000L9, which is also a Samsun EVO 840 /
PM851 OEM model, so it seems some of these models have a LPM issue.

This commits adds a NOLPM quirk for the model string from the new
bugeport, to avoid the reported stability issues.

commit 9f83cfdb1ace3ef268ecc6fda50058d2ec37d603 upstream.

The driver overrides the error codes returned by platform_get_irq() to
-EINVAL, so if it returns -EPROBE_DEFER, the driver would fail the probe
permanently instead of the deferred probing. Switch to propagating the
error code upstream, still checking/overriding IRQ0 as libata regards it
as "no IRQ" (thus polling) anyway...

med_power_with_dipm still causes freezes after updating the firmware to

Set model_rev to NULL and blacklist the device.

med_power_with_dipm causes my T450 to freeze with a SAMSUNG

commit b5b4d3a52c8fd6e3fc6469c5a64ca0139c07229e upstream.

Kevin Shanahan reports the following repeating errors when using LPM,
causing long delays accessing the disk:

  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x50000 action 0x6 frozen
  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1: SError: { PHYRdyChg CommWake }

  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1.00: error: { AMNF }
  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1: hard resetting link
  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)
  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
  Apr 23 10:21:43 link kernel: ata1: EH complete

These go away when switching from med_power_with_dipm to medium_power.

This is somewhat weird as the PM830 datasheet explicitly mentions DIPM
being supported and the idle power-consumption is specified with DIPM
enabled.

There are many OEM customized firmware versions for the PM830, so for now
lets assume this is firmware version specific and blacklist LPM based on
the firmware version.

These go away when switching from med_power_with_dipm to medium_power.

This is somewhat weird as the PM830 datasheet explicitly mentions DIPM
being supported and the idle power-consumption is specified with DIPM
enabled.

There are many OEM customized firmware versions for the PM830, so for now
lets assume this is firmware version specific and blacklist LPM based on
the firmware version.

<title>ahci: Disable LPM on Lenovo 50 series laptops with a too old BIOS</title>

commit 240630e61870e62e39a97225048f9945848fa5f5 upstream.

There have been several reports of LPM related hard freezes about once
a day on multiple Lenovo 50 series models. Strange enough these reports
where not disk model specific as LPM issues usually are and some users
with the exact same disk + laptop where seeing them while other users
where not seeing these issues.

It turns out that enabling LPM triggers a firmware bug somewhere, which
has been fixed in later BIOS versions.

This commit adds a new ahci_broken_lpm() function and a new ATA_FLAG_NO_LPM
for dealing with this.

The ahci_broken_lpm() function contains DMI match info for the 4 models
which are known to be affected by this and the DMI BIOS date field for
known good BIOS versions. If the BIOS date is older then the one in the
table LPM will be disabled and a warning will be printed.

Note the BIOS dates are for known good versions, some older versions may
work too, but we don't know for sure, the table is using dates from BIOS
versions for which users have confirmed that upgrading to that version
makes the problem go away.

Unfortunately I've been unable to get hold of the reporter who reported
that BIOS version 2.35 fixed the problems on the W541 for him. I've been
able to verify the DMI_SYS_VENDOR and DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION from an older
dmidecode, but I don't know the exact BIOS date as reported in the DMI.
Lenovo keeps a changelog with dates in their release notes, but the
dates there are the release dates not the build dates which are in DMI.
So I've chosen to set the date to which we compare to one day past the
release date of the 2.34 BIOS. I plan to fix this with a follow up
commit once I've the necessary info.

<title>libata: Drop SanDisk SD7UB3Q*G1001 NOLPM quirk</title>

commit 2cfce3a86b64b53f0a70e92a6a659c720c319b45 upstream.

Commit 184add2ca23c ("libata: Apply NOLPM quirk for SanDisk
SD7UB3Q*G1001 SSDs") disabled LPM for SanDisk SD7UB3Q*G1001 SSDs.

This has lead to several reports of users of that SSD where LPM
was working fine and who know have a significantly increased idle
power consumption on their laptops.

Likely there is another problem on the T450s from the original
reporter which gets exposed by the uncore reaching deeper sleep
states (higher PC-states) due to LPM being enabled. The problem as
reported, a hardfreeze about once a day, already did not sound like
it would be caused by LPM and the reports of the SSD working fine
confirm this. The original reporter is ok with dropping the quirk.

A X250 user has reported the same hard freeze problem and for him
the problem went away after unrelated updates, I suspect some GPU
driver stack changes fixed things.

TL;DR: The original reporters problem were triggered by LPM but not
an LPM issue, so drop the quirk for the SSD in question.
