Hi, while playing with suspend to ram I found a strange behavior with usb key. This can be easily reproduced by doing : - plug a usb key - start to read the usb key : "cat /dev/sdx > /dev/null" - go to suspend : "echo mem > /sys/power/state" - while in suspend, unplug and replug the usb key (simulate usb power loss for computer that keep power) - exit suspend - there is read error on the usb key Because the power was cut during s2ram, the usb stack reset the device <1>. When new data transfer are done, we got a UNIT_ATTENTION from the device <2> and IO error are returned to user space application. After some investigation it seems some (all on the 3 I tested) usb key report as removable, and scsi layer abort the transfer in case of UNIT_ATTENTION <3>. The usb storage driver call scsi_report_bus_reset after device reset, but because of commit dfcf7775 <4>, we don't ignore unit attention if "sshdr.asc == 0x28 && sshdr.ascq == 0x00" ("Not-ready to ready"). If dfcf7775 is reverted there is no more Buffer I/O error. Is that possible to find a way to restore the behavior before dfcf7775 commit (no Buffer I/O error after device reset) after a suspend to ram ?

The specific one for this patch simply fails to respond to commands, then gives a UNIT ATTENTION after being reset which returns ASC/ASCQ 28/00. This is out of spec behaviour, but add a check in the eat CC/UA on reset path to catch this case so the CD-ROM will function somewhat properly.
