NCQ 
-------------

When I am diving into the subject, I see this NCQ kernel error appear

[    2.184511] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)

There is a good article about NCQ here. According to this it is no good
idea to disable this within the kernel command line:

SATA and PCIE Power Management
-----------------------------------------------------

In gentoo forums I found an article with this error caused by LAPTOP
MODE:

*
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-980628.html?sid=7b7a7aadcd0e124cafc3f54a07049799

For my system I get:

$ for no in 0 1 2 3 4 5; do echo -n "host${no}: "; cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host${no}/link_power_management_policy ; done
host0: max_performance
host1: max_performance
host2: max_performance
host3: max_performance
host4: max_performance
host5: max_performance

With tlp I can alter this by the following settings int /etc/default/tlp
(this are my actual settings):

[...]

# SATA aggressive link power management (ALPM):
# min_power/medium_power/max_performance
SATA_LINKPWR_ON_AC=max_performance
SATA_LINKPWR_ON_BAT=min_power

# PCI Express Active State Power Management (PCIe ASPM):
# default/performance/powersave
# Hint: needs kernel boot option pcie_aspm=force on some machines
PCIE_ASPM_ON_AC=performance
PCIE_ASPM_ON_BAT=powersave

[...]

Probably altering these settings will solve the problem?

Title:
  [ Ubuntu 14.04 - Lenovo W510 - SSD Samsung 840 PRO] Sudden Read-Only
  Filesystem

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Like mentioned in bug #1266305 (and before in bug #1265309) the
  following problem occured:

  1. System
  --------------------------

  - Ubuntu 14 04 LTS (acutal development branch)
  - linux-image-generic v. 3.13.x,  mainline kernel 3.13.x (first testing the standard kernel), last 3.12 mainline kernel
  - lvm with trim support (batched discard)
  - tlp (currently disabled for testing purpose)

  2. Hardware:
  ---------------------------
  - Lenovo W510 i7 quad core
  - SSD Samsung 840 Pro (former Samsung 840 EVO, was changed in hope that the problem disapears)
  - nvidia graphics

  BIOS (defaults F9) and:

  - BIOS Mode Standard 1: SATA: AHCI, POWER: pci and pcie power management AUTOMATIC
  - BIOS Mode Standard 2: SATA: AHCI, POWER: pci and pcie power management OFF

  - BIOS Mode Compat 1: SATA: Compatability Mode, POWER: pci and pcie power management AUTOMATIC
  - BIOS Mode Compat 2: SATA: Compatability Mode, POWER: pci and pcie power management OFF

  3. Problem descripton
  -----------------------------------------------

  The SSD randomly freezes with the following errors:
  ata1: EH complete
  ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
  ata1.00: exception Emask 0x52 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x1a80d00 action 0x6 frozen
  ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error
  ata1: SError: { UnrecovData Proto HostInt 10B8B BadCRC LinkSeq TrStaTrns }
  ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
  ata1.00: cmd 60/08:00:d8:b9:27/00:00:05:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 4096 in
  ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
  ata1: hard resetting link
  ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)

  Probably affect other Thinkpad models too:

  - [GERMAN] http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/168841-Freezes-nach-Einbau-einer-neuen-SSD?p=1698795#post1698795
  - http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/ubuntu-freeze-issue-after-ssd-upgrade

  4. Troubleshooting so far
  ------------------------------------------------
  4.1. Kernel boot parameters:

  libata.force=1:3.0G,2:1,5G libata.force=noncq

  -> not working. DRDY, hard restting link.

  4.2. BIOS Mode Compat 2 (Compat, PCI powermangement OFF), no
  additional kernel boot parameters.

  System ran with standard generic kernel 3.13.x for over 12 hours usage without any problems.
  I did some suspend/ resume cycles: no problems.

  5. Further testing:
  --------------------------------------------------------
  Testing scenarios will be applied in the follwowing structure (if necessary)

  5.1 Testing the standard trusty kernel (linux-image-generic)
  5.1.1.  with all BIOS modes.
  5.1.2.  eventually kernel boot parameters

  5.2. Testing the latest mainline kernel  with all BIOS modes.
  5.2.1.  with all BIOS modes.
  5.2.2.  eventually kernel boot parameters

  This could take a few days, so be patient.

  Keeping fingers crossed ;-)

  P.S-.: Thanks a lot for Christopher M. Penalver for his excellent
  assistance so far!
