Hello Jens, Christoph. Unfortunately, even with "block: disable runtime-pm for blk-mq" patch applied blk-mq breaks suspend to RAM for me. It is reproducible on my laptop as well as in a VM. I use complex disk layout involving MD, LUKS and LVM, and managed to get these warnings from VM via serial console when suspend fails: === [ 245.516573] INFO: task kworker/0:1:49 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
