smartctl "kills" specific drives on kernel 5.13 but works fine on 5.15 - why?

[Nick Neumann]

I'm running ubuntu 20.04 LTS with HWE, which reports kernel 5.13.0-51
generic . Both a crucial P5 1TB and Crucial P5 2TB behave rather
poorly. With one drive installed, running

sudo smartctl -x /dev/nvme0

will output some info, then hang for a while, and then print
"NVME_IOCTL_ADMIN_CMD: Interrupted system call"

>From that point on, the drives are gone from the system until I cut
and restore power (reboot is not enough).

Running smartctl against the drives works fine in windows and in
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which reports kernel 5.15.0-43

I thought for sure I'd find that a quirk for the drives had been added
between kernels 5.13 and 5.15, but alas, I don't see one. The PCI
Vendor/Device ID is 1344:5405 for the 1TB model, and while the crucial
P2 has a quirk in drivers/nvme/host/pci.c, it has a different vendor
ID altogether (c0a9).

Any thoughts on where I can look or what I might compare to try to
figure out what changed to get the Crucial P5 drives behaving? I was
hoping there was some setting I could tweak to get them going without
having to move to 22.04 LTS. (I've tried
"nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0" and various values for
"pci_aspm" with no luck.)

Thanks,
Nick
