This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

To achieve this, firstly one activate the firmware with the command: "nvme fw-activate -a 2 -s 2 /dev/nvme0". And then, one can perform the reset right after the activate command succeed: "echo 1 > /sys/class/nvme/nvme0/reset_controller". The issue: in NVMe adapter from HGST vendor (PCI identification == 1c58:0003) this reset_controller feature does not work in recent kernels. The main reason is that the adapter is not dealing well with disabling the controller in the reset feature instead of shutdown it (as done in older kernels). To perform a successful reset, we need to delay 2 seconds before checking a specific bit during the reset process. This delay was implemented as a per-device quirk in the nvme driver, and is accepted upstream. Currently, it's present on Jens Axboe kernel tree, ready to be merged on upstream 4.8 merge window. We want to request the quirk's merge in Xenial's kernel. Below, the commit information on Axboe's tree: 54adc01055b7 ("nvme/quirk: Add a delay before checking for adapter readiness") Link: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux- block.git/commit/?h=for-4.8/drivers&id=54adc01055b75ec8769c5a36574c7a0895c0c0b2 Thanks in advance, Guilherme To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1602726/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
