This is the set I currently have. I fixed libata to implement the REQUEST SENSE scsi command, and set up sd to use blk_pre_runtime_suspend to force the queue to the RPM_SUSPENDING state while issuing the REQUEST SENSE command to make sure other requests are blocked, then if REQUEST SENSE indicates that the drive does not need started, then complete suspending the device, otherwise cancel the suspend by passing an error value to blk_post_runtime_suspend. For some reason, the system hangs on resume if I issue the REQUEST SENSE command after blk_pre_runtime_suspend. My understanding is that the REQ_PM flag should make the command process even though the queue is RPM_SUSPENDING, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any idea why?
