nvme not detected

After upgrade to kernel 5.7.8 and lts-5.4.51 linux is not detecting nvme drive and won't boot with both linux and linux-lts

device is:
01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. Device 2263 (rev 03)

Motherboard is Gigabyte J4005ND2P-CF

This happened again last year with some kernel versions until get fixed in next releases. And again now.
I had to rollback to kernel 5.7.7 to get it work..

Re: nvme not detected

I have the same issue with this NVM controller. I have tried the newest linux-hardened 5.7.9 kernel. It is not booting either. Even the latest linux-lts is not working.

Re: nvme not detected

Is there an upstream bug report? (not the arch bug tracker)
Have you identified the commit that introduce the issue between 5.7.7 and 5.7.8 or 5.4.50 and 5.4.51?
Edit:
Between 5.7.7 and 5.7.8
The following are changes to the NVME subsystem

Re: nvme not detected

Both the problem and the solution (downgrading to 5.7.7) applied to me as well. Interestingly, the kernel was able to detect one of the two NVMe drives installed in my system (`blkid` displayed the partitions on that drive), but not the drive that my root partition was on. Apparently OP made an upstream bug report, where a comment mentions the offending commit.

Re: nvme not detected

Oh, for crying out loud. I fitted my first ever nvme drive today (these things are tiny), and it's taken hours to get my system booting again (user error - not hardware). Please don't tell me I have to keep my old SSD boot drive live for longer, before I add it to a SSD RAID.

Re: nvme not detected

I just got bitten by this as well -- after getting bitten by it last year. Super fun times, to have kernel devs break your hardware *twice*.

Re: nvme not detected

I am just wondering if issue is fixed in 5.7.10

Doesn't look like it.

Re: nvme not detected

To be able to start my system I'm using the "archiso" kernel 5.7.6-arch1-1

# uname -a
Linux archxhost 5.7.6-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu, 25 Jun 2020 00:14:47 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My solution, I wish it to be temporary.

Re: nvme not detected

You can obtain an older version of the kernel packages from the ALA,  then you can build the current version with patch applied.

The patch is also working for me on top of 5.7.11.

Re: nvme not detected

The patch has been introduced in 5.8, which was released 6 hours ago. The arch package for linux 5.8 isn't out yet, however.

Re: nvme not detected

It is queued for 5.7.13 if the linux package has not switched to 5.8.

Unfortunately not .  I suggest mailing the linux stable mailing listing stable@vger.kernel.org asking for 5bedd3afee8eb01ccd256f0cd2cc0fa6f841417a to be backported to 5.4.y to fix c64141c68f725068440fbc13eb63dbb283e99168 as it was backported to 5.7 as 02963f5752032ab987fae7b450d5e1e357e7425b to fix e2cb0c5635ecf7d8f2bde9971edbe00a0b8b8536.

Re: nvme not detected

Patch is queued in 5.4 stable so maybe in next release of linux-lts it will be introduced.
Also just upgraded to 5.8.1 and the issue is fixed. My controller works.
