Description of problem: setting ALPM (Aggressive Link Power Management) /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy to min_power or medium_power results in system freeze. Need to make hard reboot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): running on Fedora 22, 4.1.5-200.fc22.x86_64. Noticed also on older versions of the 4.1 kernel. Affects probably all distros, since here it's reported also for archlinux (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1555658#p1555658) system is lenovo thinkpad t540p, ahci mode, hdd is Hitachi/HGST Travelstar Z7K500 How reproducible: using tlp: set "SATA_LINKPWR_ON_AC" or "SATA_LINKPWR_ON_BAT" to "min_power" or "medium_power" in /etc/default/tlp and restart tlp or directly: echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy or echo medium_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy Then normally work and system will eventually freeze (this usually takes up 10 minutes during normal work but does not occur if the system is idle). Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: complete system freeze. Need to do hard reboot. I was unable to record any additional info, since the system is completely unresponsive (can't go to tty2, change numlock state...) Expected results: decrease power consumption of the CPU package (Haswell architecture) Additional info: the error does not occur on kernel 3.19.8, fedora 22
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.
