If a user issues a write command with the FUA bit set for a device with NCQ support disabled (that is, the device queue depth was set to 1), the LBA 48 command WRITE DMA FUA EXT must be used. However, ata_build_rw_tf() ignores this and first tests if LBA 28 can be used based on the write command sector and number of blocks. That is, for small FUA writes at low LBAs, ata_rwcmd_protocol() will cause the write to fail. Fix this by preventing the use of LBA 28 for any FUA write request. Given that the WRITE MULTI FUA EXT command is marked as obsolete in the ATA specification since ACS-3 (published in 2013), remove the ATA_CMD_WRITE_MULTI_FUA_EXT command from the ata_rw_cmds array.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
