Hi Guys, Runtime PM is usually enabled for SCSI devices, and we are switching to SCSI_MQ recently, but runtime PM isn't supported yet by blk-mq, and people may complain that. This patch tries to support runtime PM for blk-mq. And one chanllenge is that it can be quite expensive to account the active in-flight IOs for figuring out when to mark the last busy. This patch simply marks busy after each non-PM IO is done, and this way is workable because: 1) pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() is very cheap 2) in-flight non-PM IO is checked in blk_pre_runtime_suspend(), so if there is any IO queued, the device will be prevented from being suspened. 3) Generally speaking, autosuspend_delay_ms is often big, and should be in unit of second, so it shouldn't be a big deal to check if queue is idle in blk_pre_runtime_suspend().
