Linux 6.19 Lands Fix For Seagate Barracuda HDD Taking Down The SATA Bus (www.phoronix.com)

It's not often getting to talk about hard drives on Phoronix these days, but there's an important fix merged to the Linux 6.19 kernel today ahead of Linux 6.19-rc2. If you happen to be using a Seagate ST2000DM008 Barracuda 2TB HDD, an important fix was merged to avoid it taking down the systems' SATA bus and/or potentially other issues.

A kernel.org bug report was opened two months ago over the SATA bus going offline with newer versions of the Linux kernel. Post-6.15 kernels, the useer would find their SATA bus going offline that contains multiple SATA SSDs and an HDD as well as there being one NVMe drive on the system. Two months and 40+ bug comments later, the issue of the SATA bus going offline after a while was finally sorted out. It was all caused by a problematic Seagate HDD.

It was specifically for ST2000DM008-2FR102 and not all ST2000DM008's.
Felt weird from the summary paragraphs, because I have a ST2000DM008 which works perfectly with LPM. I have even tried some manual control a few times.
