Hi!
2.5.34 will eat disks if there's any disk activity during
suspend-to-disk. This patch fixes that. Please apply,

Hi Pavel,
I spoke with Jens, and he wants us to hold off until we can settle the
current issues. I have one concern about the model, and maybe you can
explain away the concern.
Why are we not blocking read/write requests in the mainloop regardless?
If the request gets to the subdriver, ide-disk, has it not gotten to far
down the pipes?
If get to "static ide_startstop_t do_rw_disk()" and that is called from
the mainloop, is it not preferred to block there? Would it not also
prevent other suspended media from suffering the same corruption?
Specifically ls120's and zips.
I understand you are address disk but suspend is more than disk in the
power management picture. Can you walk me through your process of sole
concern with platter media? Remember microdrvies are platters too, as are
flash drives, and memory drives.
I look forward to the details and the comfort they are to provide.
Cheers,
Andre Hedrick

Jens, where is the problem? This should have absolutely zero impact on
"interesting" code, making only changes to initialization and
suspend/resume...

All processes capable of generating requests are safely stopped, so no
request should get down to drivers. That's why I simply BUG_ON(), not
block or anything more sophiscated. It should never ever happen.

High levels are stopped, so there are no new requests coming.
What is needed in idedisk_suspend is to make sure that no requests are
"in flight". DMA scribbling over random memory is not good thing.
idedisk_suspend then sends drive to standby to make sure writeback
caches are flushed.
as ls120s and zips... If they are DMA capable, they badly need
support. If not, they should not kill rest of the system during
suspend-to-disk, but still support would be nice.

I think we are looking to settle current problems before adding anything
else in the mix. It will go in somehow, okay.

You have to qualify it to R/W, and that has to be done high than where it
is now. What you can not block is the command to reset; regardless, if it
is soft or hard. This is how you wake a device, then you have to clean up
the mess resulting from the reset.

Well then you need to block the queue and the hold until the device goes
idle via check-power. Then Flush-Cache, and repeat the host idle check
until valid. Otherwise you have no way to insure all data is down.
Do you disagree with this point?

Here are two types of media which use DMA and are read/write native.

kernel/suspend.c; it puts all processes to refrigerator so there's
noone who can do request.

No.. I guess you are right. Trouble is that I can reproduce data
corruption without patch and can no longer reproduce anything with it.

Too bad I do not have any of these :-(. Yes bad things are going to
happen when suspending with these active.

I'm not the same old difficult person you knew prior to recent events,
just now I will start asking for justifications and proof like everyone
else does. I have the sense of what needs to be done and can explain why,
but over email is difficult, so I am searching for a solution for that
bridge.

EEK!! Depending on the S-level of the suspend with total blocking it may
not be possible to bring it back to life.

I am not disputing your findings, I am asking you to rethink the location
of the block and why it is in the low level and not the main loop of
ide.c. If you can justify why each subdriver needs it then it must become
part of the ide-driver-struct.

Well I sent Jens one of a pair of Hitachi Type 1 DVD-RAM devices w/ media.
Maybe he could send it to you as a loaner.
LS-120 drives are everywhere.
