Subject: [PATCH] nvme-apple: reset controller during shutdown

This is a functional revert of c76b8308e4c9 ("nvme-apple: fix controller shutdown in apple_nvme_disable").

The commit broke suspend/resume since apple_nvme_reset_work() tries to disable the controller on resume. This does not work for the apple NVMe controller since register access only works while the co-processor firmware is running.

Disabling the NVMe controller in the shutdown path is also required for shutting the co-processor down. The original code was appropriate for this hardware. Add a comment to prevent a similar breaking changes in the future.

Fixes c76b8308e4c9 ("nvme-apple: fix controller shutdown in apple_nvme_disable")

Why was this patch even considered for the 6.1-stable tree? Its "Fixes:" tag references a commit which only appeared in v6.2-rc1.

There is no need to backport this to any stable tree.

The message suggest that ignoring this would have been fine but it seems worthwhile to report a potential bug or ommission in the stable backport tooling.

This is the commit that is now in the 6.1-stable queue, which is why I sent the "FAILED" email for the commit that said this was a fix.

Should I just drop c76b8308e4c9 ("nvme-apple: fix controller shutdown in apple_nvme_disable") instead?

This is the commit that is now in the 6.1-stable queue, which is why I sent the "FAILED" email for the commit that said this was a fix.

I didn't think of that, I wouldn't have considered c76b8308e4c9 as a candidate for stable. At best it would have avoided some unnecessary work. Did it get queued for stanble due to the "fix" in the commit message?

yes, I think dropping c76b8308e4c9 ("nvme-apple: fix controller shutdown apple_nvme_disable") from stable is the best solution.

c06ba7b892a5 ("nvme-apple: reset controller during shutdown") was functionally a revert. It wasn't a clean revert since 285b6e9b5717 ("nvme: merge nvme_shutdown_ctrl into nvme_disable_ctrl") modified the same lines substantially.
