Summary

In the Linux kernel, the nvme-apple driver on Apple A11 has an issue with command tags: tags of pending commands must be unique across admin and IO queues, otherwise the firmware crashes with "duplicate tag error". The workaround for M1 is missing for A11.

Risk Assessment

Firmware crash can lead to unavailability of the NVMe device, potentially affecting system stability and data availability.

Recommendation

Apply the patch from the Linux kernel update that extends the M1 workaround (reserving two tags for the admin queue) to the A11 chip.
