Bug Description

Ubuntu 4.13.0-21.24-generic 4.13.13

I have a Razer Blade Stealth 2016. The first Ubuntu I installed was Ubuntu 17.04, which gave me this error after 2 weeks of usage. After that, I installed 16.04 and used it for MONTHS without any problems, until it produced the same error this week. I think it has to do with the ubuntu updates, because I did one recently and one today, just before this problem. Could be a coincidence though.

I notice the error when I try to save something on disk and it says me that the disk is in read-only mode:

lz@lz:/var/log$ touch something
touch: cannot touch 'something': Read-only file system

lz@lz:/var/log$ cat syslog

Rebooting the ubuntu will give me a black terminal where I can run fsck /dev/nvm30n1p2 (something like that) and it fill fix a lot of orphaned inodes. The majority of time it boots back to the Ubuntu working good, but some times it boots to a broken ubuntu (no images, lots of things broken). I have to reinstall ubuntu then.

Every time I reinstall my Ubuntu, I have to try lots of times until it installs without an Input/Output error. When it installs, I can use it for some hours without having the problem, but if I run the software updates, it ALWAYS crashes and enters in read-only mode, specifically in the part that is installing kernel updates.

I noticed that Ubuntu installs updates automatically when they're for security reasons. Could this be the reason my Ubuntu worked for months without the problem, but then an update was applied and it broke?

I thought that this bug was happening: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1678184 and tried different nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us= combinations, all them gave errors. I just changed to 0 and I had no error while using ubuntu (however I didn't test for a long time) but I still had the error after trying to update my ubuntu.

My Samsung 512gb SSD is:

SAMSUNG MZVLW512HMJP-00000, FW REV: CXY7501Q

on a Razer Blade Stealth.

I also asked this on ask ubuntu, without success: https://askubuntu.com/questions/998471/razer-blade-stealth-disk-corruption-fsck-needed-probably-samsung-ssd-bug-afte

Please help me, as I need this computer to work on lots of things :c

Well, with 0 it didn't generate errors while using, but while trying to update my machine, which always happens too, so I don't know anymore. I remember seeing ATSP Disabled at the output, but the error always happens when I try to update my software...

Shouldn't this bug be already fixed? Or not in my kernel? I could pay to get to the bottom of this, because I need my computer so much right now and this bug is happening every day and I can't continue my work!

The last kernel I had on ubuntu was 4.13.0-26-generic, now I'm on debian and I have 4.9.0-4.

I’d like to see the output of `sudo nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0` when you use nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0.

This is more likely to a low level NVMe/PCIe issue. If possible, please try to upgrade the firmware for the NVMe.

You’ll get hit by this issue (again) once next Debian release uses newer kernel.

Hi. I've been trying to install Windows 10 in order to try to update my SSD firmware, but I'm getting an error:

could it be that my SSD has a real hardware problem? I tried many different pen drives, in different USB ports, but I always get the same error.

On debian (4.9) I didn't notice the issue but I didn't use much. HOWEVER, when I do apt-get upgrade on debian I do get the issue. It just updated the kernel file, didn't run the new kernel (a boot would have to happen).

On v4.15 I didn't change the nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0, I guess. I did before upgrading to v4.15, I guess. But I can try again.

This is all very strange

I also found some people with this same problem on the same SSD. Together with the fact that I had no problem on windows (ore than 24hrs of usage by now) I think it can be fixed in the kernel.

I had no luck updating my SSD's firmware as it's OEM and Samsung's updater won't work for it. Do you have any idea? I don't have money to buy a new SSD, and I really need to work. I'd be so grateful if you could help with a solution.

After installing everything, I rebooted to use the new kernel. I then installed updates on the machine to see if the problem would happen (easier way to make it happen is on the moment I try to update). After the update, wireless stopped working. Restarted many times and still not working.

Could it be that the update triggered the error and the so called pcie reset of this kernel made the wireless go wrong?

I'm gonna still use this kernel to see if the read only filesystem happens though

If you really want to use your computer with linux the only way that it solved for me was to use Qubes OS

Hi tronglx,

I didn't try Arch but I THINK I tried Manjaro which is based on it. If I did it didn't work. I remember trying lots of linux and all of them failed.

Qubes OS works because it doesn't use linux kernels directly because it uses Xen microkernel, so somehow it excludes the bug. You can install Arch as a Qubes VM, there's a script for it, you just run it and then it generates an image that you can install. They also provide Ubuntu, Kali and others.

Since this bug is rare I don't think they'll try to fix, the guy that was helping here gave up.

Hi trong luu, for me the error happened every day, which is why I ended up using Qubes. It's the only way that I could find except for Windows

You can try older kernels but it didn't work for me. Remember that downloading older ubuntus will still give you a recent kernel, you have to downgrade by yourself. However ni Ubuntu or Debian kernels fixed the problem for me

I think other SSD type is last option. But, i really want find out root cause of the problem. As my understanding, system booted up with Opts: errors=remount-ro. Then something went wrong, system switched to ro mode to protect file system. Do you have checked system log, have any abnormal log? NVME is becoming more and more popular. This is the big problem with linux user.

For anyone struggling with this hideous bug, try the following:

add "nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=250" in /etc/default/grub, for example:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=off nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=250"

then run "update-grub"

My laptop has been running smoothly for a week now. (/dev/nvme0n1 S444NY0K600040 SAMSUNG MZVLB256HAHQ-00000 1 81.09 GB / 256.06 GB 512 B + 0 B EXD7101Q)

see more infos here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_state_drive/NVMe

@kernel developers, would it not be great to detect such disks and lower automatically the nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us? Thi bug is really hard to detect and solve because there are NO logs whatsoever. Disk goes read-only ya know?

Hu trong lu. I indeed bought a new SSD because I thought mine was faulty. However I bought one of the same brand (Samsung). I didn't have the idea of buying another brand. Anyways, the brand new SSD also has the problem.

For my case it definitely is not a hardware problem. With Linux the problem happens every day, sometimes more than once per day. With Windows the error never happened and with Qubes I'm running for more than 2 months without any problems. So it's not hardware, definitely is something wrong with Linux kernel

Hi Kai-Heng Feng, please note that after I installed Qubes, I never ever had the problem again. It may be useful in the debug process, and maybe the way Xen, PCIe and Linux work together in Qubes can give a hint on what's happening. Thank you for all your help to this day.

an update on this:

it was actually pcie_aspm=off what helped to solve the problem.

I think the problem is related to the power management of PCIe ports.

Without pcie_aspm=off I started seeing errors like the following ones:

- [drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=7841 end=7842) time 291 us, min 1063, max 1079, scanline start 1044, end 1092

 pcieport 0000:00:1d.0: AER: device [8086:a330] error status/mask=00000001/00002000

I think the bug is not with the nvme controller but somewhere in ASPM. But I am not a kernel developer.

Hello all!

I'm experiencing the same problem with an adata SU800NS38. My SSD works fine with the 4.17.0-041700-generic kernel version but unfortunately this is the only kernel version it works perfectly. In addition to try other kernel versions such as 4.x, I also tried 5.0 - 5.5. The disk becomes read-only during use and I need to use fsck whenever I start the system.

After that, I installed 16.04 and used it for MONTHS without any problems, until it produced the same error this week. I think it has to do with the ubuntu updates, because I did one recently and one today, just before this problem. Could be a coincidence though.

The most strange thing is that I bought my laptop about 1 year ago and I've installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 with kernel 4.15.0-65-xxx (default installation) and everything worked as expected. However, the same problem happened with any other kernel version (including 4.17.0-041700-generic).

Then, after having some problems with my system I've installed Ubuntu 18.04.4. The kernel version installed with the system was 5.3 and after observing the same problem with the disk I've tried to install 4.15.0-65 and the problem has not been solved (I don't remember exactly which kernel version I had in the first time (e.g. what was the xxx)). Finally, I've found that 4.17.0-041700-generic works and I don't know why. It didn't work with Ubuntu 18.04.1 and it works with 18.04.4. This is really strange and I need to use most recent kernel versions, because I need to use some features I've implemented for v5.5-rc1.

I also had this problem of it working for a year, then I update it and it stops working. Then I roll back the kernel and it won't work again

After that, I installed 16.04 and used it for MONTHS without any problems, until it produced the same error this week. I think it has to do with the ubuntu updates, because I did one recently and one today, just before this problem. Could be a coincidence though.

I thought I could help in some way with more information. By the way, I've found the solution and my SSD works fine right now. You may want to take a lookt at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201685. Comment #294 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201685#c294), in particular, helped me to solve the problem.

I just want to say that after 2 years I remembered I had an SSD with different brand tham Samsung, a Kingston one. I installed it on my razer and it worked perfectly for days, I did several SSD stress tests and no errors.

The error is defintely with Samsung AND linux. And it's not a faulty SSD because it happens on both of my samsung SSDs. It does not happen on Windows, neither Qubes, with any SSD.

I tested the latest Ubuntu 21.04 and the problem still happens on Samsung SSDs right on the installation screen.

Anyways I'm not even using this computer anymore, I bought a Dell XPS 13, but the error persists and it's either Samsung's or Linux fault. Probably Samsung since other brands work ok with Samsung.

I've hit this "bug". I've a nice Clevo ODM based laptop and luckily I have two nvme drives in it so it's not a show-stopper for me but obv. it's a concern. I have an Intel one which is the boot drive and a Samsung one which is the data drive. I have a dual-boot setup. So two data points to note. The Intel nvme works in both Windows and Linux. The Samsung works in Windows, but not in Linux. When I say that it doesn't work in Linux I should say that the system brings the drive up, I can mount it read-write, everything looks good but as soon as I try and write files to it it craps out with nothing written:
