Thanks, that's very interesting information. My concern with this patch
is that the power management code is not the only caller of
blk_set_pm_only() / blk_clear_pm_only(). E.g. the SCSI SPI code also
calls scsi_device_quiesce() and scsi_device_resume(). These last
functions call blk_set_pm_only() and blk_clear_pm_only(). More calls of
scsi_device_quiesce() and scsi_device_resume() might be added in the future.

Has it been considered to test directly whether a SCSI device has been
runtime suspended instead of relying on blk_queue_pm_only()? How about
using pm_runtime_status_suspended() or adding a function in
block/blk-pm.h that checks whether q->rpm_status == RPM_SUSPENDED?

Thanks,

Bart.
