I noticed that I can no longer boot Linux kernels from nvme on riscv64
systems. The problem is seen with qemu v7.1 and qemu v7.2-rc4.
The log shows:
[ 35.904128] nvme nvme0: I/O 642 (I/O Cmd) QID 1 timeout, aborting
[ 35.905000] EXT4-fs (nvme0n1): mounting ext2 file system using the ext4
subsystem
[ 66.623863] nvme nvme0: I/O 643 (I/O Cmd) QID 1 timeout, aborting
[ 97.343989] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x0
[ 97.344355] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x0
[ 97.344647] nvme nvme0: I/O 7 QID 0 timeout, reset controller
[ 97.350568] nvme nvme0: I/O 644 (I/O Cmd) QID 1 timeout, aborting
This is with the mainline Linux kernel (v6.1-rc8).
Bisect points to this patch. Reverting this patch and a number of associated
patches (to fix conflicts) fixes the problem.
