These messages appear because during each probe, something is requesting a runtime-PM resume. In the case of sd 6:0:0:0, the resume happens each time the device file is opened; I don't know why you're getting a resume request for the scsi7 host (probably something strange going on in the ATA stack). If you really want to know, you could add a dump_stack() to one of the debugging messages in rpm_resume(). The "flags 0x4" means the actual call is pm_runtime_get_sync(). The "returns 1" means that the call didn't do anything to the hardware because the device in question was already at full power. > -------- > > On Dec 11 Rafael J.

I have both > options on on 2.6.37-rc5/-rc6 (because I wanted to check something > unrelated on 2.6.37). These messages are produced by dev_dbg() calls. The debug output is enabled by either CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE or CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER. Since you say CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE is off, the other must be on -- unless maybe you have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
