Well, the runtime pm framework doesn't support the current SCSI power management states within the drive, that's why it makes sense to treat what is essentially a hack to them in the same manner. OK, I agree, and it amused me a little bit :-) And here are some thoughts on runtime pm regarding SCSI power state in ODD's case. The Mount Fuji spec has words like this in section 16.1.1: When no media is mounted, the logical unit should enter Standby state. So we do not need to do anything for no media case if Standby is acceptable. And when there is media inside, the ODD's power state will either be controlled by its internal timer or by host's command. So for runtime pm code to participate, the only place to do some work is when there is media inside and we decide when the ODD is not in use and place it into Standby and when the ODD is in use, we place it into Active. But in this case, it seems better we let the ODD handle this

Does this mean sr can only have code that is useful to all devices it manages? i.e. If a piece of code enables a feature for a special kind of ODD(like the sata based ZPODD), it shouldn't be done in sr? Drivers are allowed to have special features and quirks that apply only to some devices. I think SATA based zero power capable ODDs are the some devices. There is nothing in theory stopping us from doing this in ata layer. For the loading mechanism, we can always send an ATAPI command to figure it out. So gentlemen, I need your opinions on where this ZPODD code should live before I can continue this work, thanks. Can arbitrary SCSI devices be ZP, or does this notion apply only to ATAPI-based drives? That's the key question, and the answer determines where the ZP support belongs. I don't know if arbitrary SCSI devices can be ZP or not, the SPC spec doesn't seem to define such a power state. ZPODD is defined for sata based ATAPI ODD which supports device attention, but doesn't specify how the ODD is powered off and how the device attention pin notifies OS. On x86 systems, these are implemented by ACPI. Though SCSI devices may not have a general notion of ZP, the fact that ZPODD are managed by sr driver is enough to make the decision that ZPODD code can live in sr? Well, only a part of it is handled by sr, the high-level part so to speak. The low-level handling is done by the ATA layer. Now, since sr is the high-level part and is supposed to be generic, I don't think it's appropriate to make it care about some low-level things specific to ATA (because there is another layer of code supposed to handle those). Makes sense to me, but there is a problem if I want to block events checking for the disk, as I do not have a pointer to the gendisk in ATA layer. On the other hand, the sr driver certainly deserves to have some form of runtime PM support, even for devices that aren't ZP. Agree. And the following codes need to find a home: - Code used to handle ACPI wake notification(currently done in ATA, but causes the annoying need_eject flag in scsi_device); And quite frankly I'd more and more convinced that this flag isn't really necessary. What you really want to achieve is to eject the tray of a tray-type ODD if the eject is signaled through a GPE. I don't see anything for sr to do in that. Moreover, you probably would like to do that even if the drive is not powered down, right? The tray will be ejected by the ODD itself when it has power, I do not need to do that. Moreover, I don't think I need enable the GPE bit when it has power. I wonder if this mechanism can be used for user space notification without polling regardless of whether or not the zero-power feature is used? This may be a reason the GPE should be always enabled no matter if power is removed or not. But I have concerns that this mechanism is designed to acheive this, as explained in another mail thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-pmm=134882049212936w=2 Copied here: The SATA spec says the device attention pin shall assert when: - For tray type ODD, its front panel button is released; - For slot type ODD, media is inserted. I've a slot type ODD which has a eject button. The notification will be sent when a disc is inserted, but not when the eject button is pressed, and this doesn't violate the spec. But if we disable the poll for disc changes, we will lose an event when the disc is ejected by the eject button(the device attention pin shall not trigger this time). I suppose this is a problem? I think the device attention scheme is not designed to do this job, while SATA asynchronous notification is. Thanks, Aaron - Code to check if the ODD is ready to be powered off per the ZPODD spec.

The ATA-specific bits that belong in libata include everything below the SCSI command set: bus details, delivering the command to the device, returning the command response, etc. sr handles the SCSI command set details. SATA optical devices are aligned with the SCSI MMC command set, which periodically synchronizes with USB and ATAPI industry efforts. There are ugly hacks around the edges, where sometimes ATA or USB subsystems may tweak the request or response in passing, but that is the general model: it belongs in libata UNLESS the operation is occurring wholly at the SCSI command set level. Because USB and ATA chose to use the SCSI command set, it is sadly inevitable that there might be a few details -- hopefully glossed over with layer-hopping hooks and flags -- within 'sr' that are bus-specific. The simple fact of only ZPODD devices out there are ATA is not the decision-maker for where the code should live. It is more a question where ZPODD belongs in the device/command set model currently employed.

Well, only a part of it is handled by sr, the high-level part so to speak. The low-level handling is done by the ATA layer. Now, since sr is the high-level part and is supposed to be generic, I don't think it's appropriate to make it care about some low-level things specific to ATA (because there is another layer of code supposed to handle those).

I wonder if this mechanism can be used for user space notification without polling regardless of whether or not the zero-power feature is used? Fair questions, and I think this is finally getting to the heart of the matter/solution. - Code to check if the ODD is ready to be powered off per the ZPODD spec.

If GPE fires, the notification function will request a runtime resume of the device. Does this sound OK? Well, depending on the implementation. sr_suspend() should be rather generic, but the ACPI association (including the GPE thing) is specific to ATA. Sorry, but don't quite understand this. We have ACPI bindings for scsi devices, isn't that for us to use ACPI when needed in scsi? We don't have ACPI bindings for generic SCSI devices. We have such bindings for SATA drives. You can put such things only in sr if it applies to all (maybe most) types of drives. OK. Then these scsi bindings for sata drives will be pretty much of no use I think. BTW, if sr_suspend should be generic, that would suggest I shouldn't write any ZPODD related code there, right? Any suggestion where these code should go then? libata. Maybe some generic hooks can be called in sr_suspend(). Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is, I need to know whether the door is closed and if there is a medium inside. I've no way of getting such information in libata. How does sr get to know it in the libata case? By executing a test_unit_ready command. Libata does/should not have any routine to do this, it is one of the transport of SCSI devices and it relies on SCSI driver to manage the device(both disk and ODD). PS: Are you sure sr_suspend() handles DVD-RAMs correctly? No. Is there a spec for it? Considering there are many different drives sr handle, is it possible to write a generic sr_suspend? Maybe your suggestion of callback is the way to go. What about this idea, if we find this is a ZPODD capable drive, we enable runtime suspend for it and write a suspend callback according to ZPODD spec. For other drives that does not have a suspend callback, we do not enable runtime suspend. You can enable runtime PM for all kinds of drives, but make the suspend and resume callbacks only do something for ZPODD ones. This may allow their parents to use runtime PM (as Alan said earlier in this thread), even if the drives themseleves are not really physically suspended. Sounds good. Does this sound reasonable? First, we need to know when the drive is not in use. That information we can get from the sr's runtime PM and it looks like we need to notify libata about that somehow. I'm not sure what mechanism is the best for that at the moment. The current mechanism to notify libata is by rumtime suspend. When scsi device is runtime suspended, its parent device will be suspended. And ata_port is one of the ancestor devices of scsi device, and we will remove its power in ata_port's runtime suspend callback. The problem, then, is that the ata_port's runtime suspend callback would have to know whether or not power can be removed from the drive. I'm going to post patches introducing a no power off flag for PM QoS, among other things, today or tomorrow. I suppose this flag might be used to tell the ata_port's suspend not to remove power from the attached device. Second, when the device is resumed by remote wakeup, we need to notify sr about that. A resume alone is not sufficient, though, because it may be necessary to open the tray. Perhaps in that case we can use the same mechanism by which user events are processed by libata and delivered to sr? Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not aware of any user events processed by libata.

OK, so how is ODD related to the sr driver?
As Alan has explained, ODD(optical disk drive) is driven by scsi
sr driver.
OK, but what about writing ODD (Optical Disk Drive) in the changelog?
People reading git logs may not know all of the hardware acronyms and the
0 message doesn't go into the git log. :-)
The only exception is, if we just find that a new medium is
inserted, we wait for the next events checking to idle it.
What exactly do you mean by to idle it?
I mean to put its usage count so that its idle callback will kick in.
So I'd just write that directly in the changelog.
Does this patch have any functional effect without the following
patches?
Yes, this one alone takes care of ODD's runtime pm
I suppose you mean the runtime PM status and usage counter? I.e. the
software
state?
Yes.
while the following
patches take care of removing its power after it's runtime suspended.
But it doesn't have any real benefit without the following patches.
Please put that information into the changelog too.
As Alan explained, I think I would say:
Though currently it doesn't have any benefit, it allows its parent
devices enter runtime suspend state which may save some power.
Well, please say that in the changelog, then. :-)
Based on ideas of Alan Stern and Oliver Neukum.

Yes.
while the following

But it doesn't have any real benefit without the following patches.
Please put that information into the changelog too.
As Alan explained, I think I would say:

Well, please say that in the changelog, then. :-)

This thing is asking for a comment.
It looks like you're kind of avoiding to call _idle() for the
device, but why?
What might go wrong if pm_runtime_put() is used instead of the
whole conditional,
among other things?
The above code means, if we found that a disc is just
inserted(reflected
by cd-media_present is true and last_present is false), we do not
want
to put the device into suspend state immediately until next poll. In
the
interval, some programs may decide to use this device by opening it.
Nothing will go wrong, but it can possibly avoid a runtime status
change.
OK, so suppose the condition is true and we do the _noidle() put. Who's
going to suspend the device in that case if no one actually uses the
device?
Next time when the check_events poll runs, it will find that:
1 Either the disc is still there, then both last_present and
media_present would be true, we will do the put to idle it;
2 Or the disc is ejected, we will do the put to idle it.
In that case I would do:
pm_runtime_put_noidle(cd-device-sdev_gendev);
if (cd-media_present !last_present)
pm_runtime_suspend(cd-device-sdev_gendev);
This doesn't cover the !cd-media_present(media not present) case.
If there is no media present, we will also need to idle it.
Oh, I got the condition backwards. I meant:
pm_runtime_put_noidle(cd-device-sdev_gendev);
if (!cd-media_present || last_present)
pm_runtime_suspend(cd-device-sdev_gendev);
which should be equivalent to your original code (if I'm not mistaken again).
And I'd add a comment about the next poll.
This appears somewhat racy, though, because in theory a media may be
inserted
while we are removing power from the device. Isn't that a problem?
Yes, this is a problem.
To avoid this race, I think the following needs to be done:
- For slot type ODD, make it such that user can't insert a disc;
- For tray type ODD, make it such that when user presses the eject
button, the tray doesn't open.
I'll see if this is possible, thanks for the remind.
OK
The poll runs periodically, until the device is powered off(reflected by
the powered_off flag), in which case, the poll will simply return
0 without touching this device.
Is it useful to poll the device after it has been suspended, but not powered
off?
Yes, it is necessary to poll the device when it has been suspended with
power left. The reason is, we need to check if there is a media change
event happened, and the way to check this is to issue a
GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION comand.
Please note that when the drive is not powered off, it will not send us
a notification when its eject button is pressed.
I'm not sure about that, actually. If it doesn't notify us, that whole thing
is inherently racy pretty much beyond fixing, because it is always possible
that the user will press the eject button right after we've checked the
status last time and right before power removal. We're going to lose that
event, so the user will have to push the button once again in that case.

Why do you need this and why is the poll interval universally

For a system with udev, the block module parameter
events_dfl_poll_msecs
will be set to 2s. If disk's events_poll_msecs is not set, that will
be
used. So the disk will be polled every 2s, that means it will be

the device can stay in runtime suspended state longer.
And the sysfs interface is still there, if udev thinks a device needs

OK, so how is ODD related to the sr driver?
As Alan has explained, ODD(optical disk drive) is driven by scsi
sr driver.
The only exception is, if we just find that a new medium is
inserted, we wait for the next events checking to idle it.
What exactly do you mean by to idle it?
I mean to put its usage count so that its idle callback will kick in.
Does this patch have any functional effect without the following patches?
Yes, this one alone takes care of ODD's runtime pm while the following
patches take care of removing its power after it's runtime suspended.
But it doesn't have any real benefit without the following patches.
Based on ideas of Alan Stern and Oliver Neukum.

I was just stupidly following the pattern.
Thanks and I'll change this.

This thing is asking for a comment.
It looks like you're kind of avoiding to call _idle() for the device, but why?
What might go wrong if pm_runtime_put() is used instead of the whole
conditional,
among other things?
The above code means, if we found that a disc is just inserted(reflected
by cd-media_present is true and last_present is false), we do not want
to put the device into suspend state immediately until next poll. In the
interval, some programs may decide to use this device by opening it.
Nothing will go wrong, but it can possibly avoid a runtime status change.

Why do you need this and why is the poll interval universally suitable?
For a system with udev, the block module parameter events_dfl_poll_msecs
will be set to 2s. If disk's events_poll_msecs is not set, that will be
used. So the disk will be polled every 2s, that means it will be runtime
suspended/resumed every 2s if there is no user. I set it to 5s so that
the device can stay
[PATCH v7 2/6] scsi: sr: support runtime pm
Place the ODD into runtime suspend state as soon as there is nobody
using it. The only exception is, if we just find that a new medium is
inserted, we wait for the next events checking to idle it.
Based on ideas of Alan Stern and Oliver Neukum.
