It has been observed that Toshiba DT01ACA family drives have WRITE FPDMA QUEUED command timeouts and sometimes just freeze until power-cycled under heavy write loads when their temperature is getting polled in SCT mode. The SMART mode seems to be fine, though. Let's make sure we don't use SCT mode for these drives then. While only the 3 TB model was actually caught exhibiting the problem let's play safe here to avoid data corruption and extend the ban to the whole family. Fixes: 5b46903d8bf3 ("hwmon: Driver for disk and solid state drives with temperature sensors") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Maciej S. Szmigiero <mail@maciej.szmigiero.name> --- Notes: This behavior was observed on two different DT01ACA3 drives. Usually, a series of queued WRITE FPDMA QUEUED commands just time out, but sometimes the whole drive freezes. Merely disconnecting and reconnecting SATA interface cable then does not unfreeze the drive. One has to disconnect and reconnect the drive power connector for the drive to be detected again (suggesting the drive firmware itself has crashed). This only happens when the drive temperature is polled very often (like every second), so occasional SCT usage via smartmontools is probably safe. Changes from v1: 'SCT blacklist' -> 'SCT avoid models' Changes from v2: * Switch to prefix matching and use it to match the DT01ACAx family, * Use "!" instead of "== 0", * Add a comment about the contents of the "model" field. drivers/hwmon/drivetemp.c | 43 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 43 insertions(+)
