[arch-general] Kernel regression? [ata1.00: Read log page 0x08 failed, Emask 0x1]

[riveravaldez]

Hi, I got this:

$ sudo journalctl -b -exp3
(...)
nov 19 02:06:41 arch kernel: ata1.00: Read log page 0x08 failed, Emask 0x1
nov 19 02:06:41 arch kernel: ata1.00: Read log page 0x08 failed, Emask 0x1
(...)

And seeing [1]/[2] I guess this is some kind of regression maybe?

My case:

$ uname -a
Linux arch 5.15.2-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri, 12 Nov 2021 19:22:10
+0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Not sure where to mention this (if should, anyway).

Thanks a lot, kind regards.
