But if you don't do it, the device will wake up from runtime suspend every time the block layer polls it. So you probably do want to either turn off polling or increase the polling interval significantly. > scsi sd has until now incomplete support for runtime pm and this > addition makes it work, i.e. suspend when not mounted: > https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20200623111018.31954-1-martin.kepplinger@xxxxxxx/T/ > the whole USB path is suspended as a consequence - and woken up if opened. I don't understand this. As far as I know, runtime-PM support in the SCSI and block layers has been complete for many years. If you have to do anything extra (like applying the patch in the email you mentioned) then something is broken. The device should be able to go into runtime suspend just fine with the current code -- even when a file system is mounted. Alan Stern
