Because WB performs writes in SLC mode, it is not possible to use
WriteBooster indefinitely. Vendors can set a lifetime limit in the device.
If the lifetime exceeds this limit, the device ican disable the WB feature.
The feature is defined in the "bWriteBoosterBufferLifeTimeEst (IDN = 1E)"
attribute.
With lifetime exceeding the limit value, the current driver continuously
performs the following query:
- Write Flag: WB_ENABLE / DISABLE
- Read attr: Available Buffer Size
- Read attr: Current Buffer Size
This patch recognizes that WriteBooster is no longer supported by the
device, and prevents unnecessary queries.
