[BUG][5.18rc5] nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0x10

[Mikhail Gavrilov]

Hi,
Today, for the first time, I encountered the fact that my new nvme disk is down.
In the kernel logs, I found the following sequence of messages:

[ 3005.869069] [drm] free PSP TMR buffer

Googling turned up a lot of links to various old reports (4.xx kernel)
and APST issue reports.
In a bug report on kernel.org [6], the unfortunate users talking with
each other with no hope of a solution being found.
The most clarifying article turned out to be [1].

After analyzing the answer of the commands "nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0"
and "cat /sys/module/nvme_core/parameters/default_ps_max_latency_us".

# nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0

          rwt:4 rwl:4 idle_power:- active_power:-

# cat /sys/module/nvme_core/parameters/default_ps_max_latency_us
100000

I concluded that my problem is not related to APST because 2500 + 7500
+ 10500 + 65000 = 85500 < 100000
100000 is greater than the total latency of any state (enlat + xlat).

Or am I misinterpreting the results?

Therefore, I would like to ask if there are any other ideas why nvme
can stop working with the message "controller is down; will reset:
CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0x10", which generally does not say
anything about the reason why this happened.

My kernel is 5.18rc5.

Thanks in advance for any answer that will clear things up. And where
to dig in search of a solution to the problem.
