Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact: Intermittent OS failure due to SSD disk initialisation failure
Fix: Upstream development
Testcase: About once per 5000 reboots on one server.
          If the user has several hundred servers,
          the frequency isn't negligible.

---------------------

It was brought to my attention the following BUG:

Avoton server occasionally fails to boot when using SSD disks
connected using ahci driver. When this problem occurs, the disk is
not recognized by the Linux kernel, and the server fails to boot.

* Upstream acceptance information:

Intel's patch has already been accepted upstream
commit dbfe8ef5599a5370abc441fcdbb382b656563eb4
Author: Dan Williams <email address hidden>
Date: Fri May 8 15:23:55 2015 -0400
ahci: avoton port-disable reset-quirk

Refer to http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.commits.head/524068

* How reproducible:
About once per 5000 reboots on one server. However, if the customer
has several hundred servers, the frequency isn't negligible.

* Steps to Reproduce:
Reboot server.

I have created the following PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~inaddy/+archive/ubuntu/lp1458617

Containing a hot-fixed kernel for Trusty so I can have proper feedback.

I'll work together with kernel team to include this fix into Trusty, Utopic, Vivid and Wily kernels.

Thank you

    ahci: avoton port-disable reset-quirk

    Avoton AHCI occasionally sees drive probe timeouts at driver load time.
    When this happens SCR_STATUS indicates device detected, but no D2H FIS
    reception. Reset the internal link state machines by bouncing
    port-enable in the PCS register when this occurs.
