As far as I can tell, APST works fine on every NVMe device I'm aware
of with the single exception of a particular Samsung device. This
series enables APST by default but quirks it off on the offending
Samsung device. Some Samsung engineers are taking a look, and,
depending on what they find, we may be able to change the quirk to
work around the bug rather than disabling APST outright.
I think it would be nice to queue this up for 4.11.
Changes from v3:
- Initialize APST in nvme_init_identify() (hch)
Changes from v2:
- Remove a stray newline.
- Use switch when translating pm_qos args to latency (Christoph)
- I did *not* change the initialization sequence. If we want to do
that, can it be a followup patch?
Changes from v1:
- Fix a totally wrong comment in the quirk code (me)
- Add a comment about not redetecting quirks after reset (Keith)
- Rearrange the series to avoid bisection problems (Jens)
Once fully applied, v1 and v2 only differ in their comments.
Changes from before:
- Rebased to linux-block/for-next.
- I added a quirk for the known-bad Samsung device.
- It's fully integrated with dev_pm_qos.
- I now program APST after all the queues are set up, which seems safer.
(This didn't fix the Samsung problem, though.)
