Hi, all These 4 patches add ata port runtime pm support. v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/2/23 v2 is totally different than v1. v1 performed ata port runtime pm through scsi layer. Added hook to scsi host runtime suspend/resume code. I realized that this is not the natural way to do ata port runtime pm. It does not deal with the races with ata port system suspend/resume. With v2, ata port is made to be parent device of scsi host. Currently, the device tree of ata port and scsi host looks as below, /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2 (ahci controller) |-- ata1 (ata port) |-- host0 (scsi host) |-- target0:0:0 (scsi target) |-- 0:0:0:0 (disk) v2 changes it to: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2 (ahci controller) |-- ata1 (ata port) |-- host0 (scsi host) |-- target0:0:0 (scsi target) |-- 0:0:0:0 (disk) So ata port runtime PM will happen as: disk suspend --> scsi target suspend --> scsi host suspend --> ata port suspend. This is much cleaner and natural.
