For my personal taste sd_spinup_disk() is a little bit noisy after 848ade90ba9c ("scsi: sd: Do not exit sd_spinup_disk() quietly"). scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access Multiple Card Reader 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Media removed, stopped polling sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Media removed, stopped polling sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Media removed, stopped polling There's not really a benefit in printing the same message multiple times. Therefore print it only if media_present was set before.
