From 240630e61870e62e39a97225048f9945848fa5f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2018 12:15:46 +0200 Subject: ahci: Disable LPM on Lenovo 50 series laptops with a too old BIOS 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.
