This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: configure runtime pm before calling device_add in scsi_add_host_with_dma to the 4.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-configure-runtime-pm-before-calling-device_add-in-scsi_add_host_with_dma.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0d5644b7d8daa3c1d91acb4367731f568c9c9469 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2016 21:49:03 +0200 Subject: scsi: configure runtime pm before calling device_add in scsi_add_host_with_dma From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx> commit 0d5644b7d8daa3c1d91acb4367731f568c9c9469 upstream. Runtime PM should be configured already once we call device_add. See also the description in this mail thread https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2009-November/023198.html or the order of calls e.g. in usb_new_device. The changed order also helps to avoid scenarios where runtime pm for &shost->shost_gendev is activated whilst the parent is suspended, resulting in error message "runtime PM trying to activate child device hostx but parent yyy is not active". In addition properly reverse the runtime pm calls in the error path. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
