Commit e7006de6c238 causes the SSD controller on Apple T2 computers to crash and prevents linux from booting. This commit implemented a counter that is stored within the NVMe command_id, however this counter makes the command_id higher than normal, causing a panic on the T2 security chip that functions as the SSD controller, which then causes the system to power off after a few seconds. This was reported on bugzilla here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214509 but it was not originally classified as NVMe (when the report was created it was unknown what was causing it), so I don't know if it notified the NVMe mailing list when it was later reclassified to NVMe. Sorry if you've already seen this issue. The T2 security chip (which is the SSD) has this line in its crash log (the rest of this log is in an attachment on the bugzilla report): panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffff028d884ec): ANS2 Recoverable Panic - assert failed: [7447]:command id out of range error (cid = 4120), status_reg: 0x2000 - Null(2) This is the entry in lspci -nn for the ssd: 04:00.0 Mass storage controller [0180]: Apple Inc. ANS2 NVMe Controller [106b:2005] (rev 01) This commit was included in 5.14.6 and backported to 5.10.67, but does not occur in 5.14.5 and 5.10.66. I am on a MacBookPro16,1, the crash has been reproduced on a MacBookPro16,2 as well. I have been able to reproduce on Arch Linux with vanilla kernel 5.10.67 (others have gotten it on 5.14.6) with no DKMS modules, and I bisected it to that commit (e7006de6c23803799be000a5dcce4d916a36541a). I've tried to modify the genctr so that it is in the other side of the command_id (which I thought might make the command_id's lower) with the patch below, but it did not prevent the crash.
