Hello Jens, This patch series not only enables runtime power management for blk-mq but also fixes a starvation issue in the power management code for the legacy block layer. Please consider this patch series for kernel v4.19. Thanks, Bart. Changes compared to v3: - Avoid adverse interactions between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime power management by changing the PREEMPT_ONLY flag into a counter. - Give RQF_PREEMPT back its original meaning, namely that it is only set for ide_preempt requests. - Remove the flag BLK_MQ_REQ_PREEMPT. - Removed the pm_request_resume() call. Changes compared to v2: - Fixed the build for CONFIG_BLOCK=n. - Added a patch that introduces percpu_ref_read() in the percpu-counter code. - Added a patch that makes it easier to detect missing pm_runtime_get*() calls. - Addressed Jianchao's feedback including the comment about runtime overhead of switching a per-cpu counter to atomic mode. Changes compared to v1: - Moved the runtime power management code into a separate file. - Addressed Ming's feedback.
