When the ODD is powered off, any action the user did to the ODD that
would generate a media event will trigger an ACPI interrupt, so the
poll for media event is no longer necessary. And the poll will also
cause a runtime status change, which will stop the ODD from staying in
powered off state, so the poll should better be stopped.

But since we don't have access to the gendisk structure in LLDs, here
comes the disable_disk_events flag for scsi device. This flag serves as
a capability of the device, conveyed by the LLDs to upper layer. It is
set when LLDs know that this device will no longer generate any media
related events, so that the check_events can simply return 0 without
bothering the device, effectively silence the poll.

What's the synchronization rule for this field?

Thanks.

I documented the rule in include/scsi/scsi_device.h.

This field is modified in the ata port's runtime suspend and resume
callback, and is read accessed in the check_events callback of the sr
block driver. The runtime PM callback is synchronized by PM core, in
that the two callbacks will never run concurrently. So I guess saying
synchronized by PM core is enough for this field?

This is what I've added in v12 for scsi_device structure:

+	bool disable_disk_events; /* disable poll for disk events, used in
+				   * ATA layer, sychronized by PM core */
+

Or do you mean I should add a comment explaining the sync rule when it
is modifed, like in the above code?

Thanks,
Aaron

The thing is that disabling disk events doesn't necessarily have
anything to do with PM, so tying synchronization to PM subsystem is a
bit unexpected.  How about making it an atomic_t?  That way, disabling
can stack and synchronization dependency to PM is removed.

Thanks.

OK, will make it atomic in next version, thanks for the advice.

Perhaps I can add two scsi helper functions in scsi_lib.c like:

void sdev_disable_disk_events(struct scsi_device *sdev)
{
	atomic_inc(&sdev->disk_events_disable_depth);
}

void sdev_enable_disk_events(struct scsi_device *sdev)
{
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(atomic_read(&sdev->disk_events_disable_depth) <= 0))
		return;
	atomic_dec(&sdev->disk_events_disable_depth);
}

And call them in ATA layer. Do you like this?

Thanks,
Aaron

Sounds good to me.  James, how does the series look to you?

Thanks!

Indeed.  Want James' Acked-by for patch #1.

I think it's ready.  It can go into libata-dev.git #upstream, and be 
reverted prior to Linus push if James NAKs.

Great! Thanks.

I'll incorporate Tejun's suggestions into v13 and send them out soon.
