Hi Alan,
Any API cleanup is of course welcome. I just wanted to remind you that
the underlying problem: broken block device runtime pm. Your initial
proposed fix "almost" did it and mounting works but during file access,
it still just looks like a runtime_resume is missing somewhere.
As we need to have that working at some point, I might look into it, but
someone who has experience in the block layer can surely do it more
efficiently.
to test, turn off polling:
echo 0 > /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs
and enable runtime pm in your (scsi) device: power/autosuspend_delay_ms
and of course power/control (set to auto).
thanks,
martin
