svasiljev, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/inspiron-17r-se-7720/drivers?os=biosa an update to your
computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (A17). When
you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate how does this improve the
situation?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.

If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your help.

Title:
  rtsx_usb module for Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129 Card Reader
  Controller: mmc errors and read data corruption

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  RTS5129 Card Reader has issues with rtsx_usb module on kernels >=3.16
  (since kmod-staging rts5129 module replaced with rtsx).

  Copying files from FAT32 SDHC memory card produces error messages in syslog:
  May  9 05:39:15 dev-laptop kernel: [  134.762713] mmcblk0: error -110 sending stop command, original cmd response 0x900, card status 0x900
  May  9 05:39:15 dev-laptop kernel: [  135.427035] mmcblk0: error -110 sending stop command, original cmd response 0x900, card status 0x900
  May  9 05:39:16 dev-laptop kernel: [  136.030041] mmcblk0: error -110 sending stop command, original cmd response 0x900, card status 0x900

  Also these errors indicate that copied files are corrupted - md5sum
  shows different checksums for copied file after each "insert card/copy
  file/check md5sum/eject card" cycle (actually you can skip "copy file"
  step and run "check md5sum" step directly with file on mounted memory
  card filesystem).

  Running sudo badblocks -n /dev/mmcblk0 produces same error messages
  and prints a lot of random block numbers.

  Hardware:
   - dell inspiron 7720 laptop (a few different RAM modules and HDD drives used for testing);
   - Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129 Card Reader (ID 0bda:0129);
   - Transcend 32Gb SDHC Memory card Class 10 UHS-I.
