[RFC PATCH] libata: scsi: flush cache on scsi stop command

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



scsi stop command is used to put a device into stopped power
condition, and scsi devices will take care of its internal cache
before entering this power condition. For ata devices, this command
should be translated to flush cache + standby immediate, currently,
we are translating it to only standby.

This patch handle this by sending flush cache command when standby is
to be sent, and in its qc complete function, send the actual standby.

This patch will be used to support poweroff hard disk either when
runtime or when system is going to S3/S4/S5. The sd_suspend will be
modified to only send a stop command to the device if device manages
start_stop, the current implementation will send a sync cache command,
which is not necessary per the scsi spec.
