Hi, I'm facing an issue putting an embedded system to sleep while a Lacie external USB hard disk is connected. Relevant kernel messages that occur at the attempt are:
[ 13.834731] PM: Sending message for entering DeepSleep mode [ 13.846575] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache [ 13.858818] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] [ 13.862432] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 [ 13.867349] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] [ 13.870626] Sense Key : 0x5 [current] [ 13.874602] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] [ 13.877879] ASC=0x20 ASCQ=0x0 [ 13.885053] dpm_run_callback(): scsi_bus_suspend+0x0/0x20 returns -5 [ 13.901130] PM: Device 0:0:0:0 failed to suspend async: error -5 [ 13.907507] PM: Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected What happens is that in sd_sync_cache(), scsi_execute_req_flags() returns 0x08000002, so driver_byte(res) evaluates to DRIVER_SENSE and host_byte(res) is DID_OK, which is an unhandled case that leads to -EIO eventually. I have admittedly not much clue about the SCSI layer, so I wonder what would be the best way to fix this. Should DID_OK just be handled as non-error condition in the switch? Should the suspend call chain ignore such errors from sd_sync_cache()? I'm open to suggestions and happy to test patches.
