I documented the rule in include/scsi/scsi_device.h.
This field is modified in the ata port's runtime suspend and resume
callback, and is read accessed in the check_events callback of the sr
block driver. The runtime PM callback is synchronized by PM core, in
that the two callbacks will never run concurrently. So I guess saying
synchronized by PM core is enough for this field?
This is what I've added in v12 for scsi_device structure:
+ bool disable_disk_events; /* disable poll for disk events, used in
+ * ATA layer, sychronized by PM core */
+
Or do you mean I should add a comment explaining the sync rule when it
is modifed, like in the above code?
