Hi,

I just booted from 2.6.36 (without PM debugging configured) into
2.6.37-rc5 (with PM debugging enabled).  There is endless log spam like
this:

Why is rpm_resume performed 6 times every two seconds?

host6 is pata_atiixp with an:

I guess you have either CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE set or CONFIG_PM_DEBUG unset.

Which is the case?

This is probably because hal probes the DVD drive every two seconds
looking for media changes.  However that's not supposed to cause
rpm_resume to be called for the host unless runtime PM is allowed for
the DVD drive, which it isn't according to your listings below.  So
there's a bug somewhere.

This is the wrong directory (the class device, not the device itself).  
You should look at /sys/class/scsi_host/host6/device/power instead.  
And also /sys/class/scsi_host/host6/device/target6:0:0/power.

These values are correct; they show that the DVD drive is forbidden 
from doing a runtime suspend.

I had 2.6.36 running since then and have now booted into 2.6.37-rc6.

Yes, it is hal indeed.  Shutting hal down avoids this logging activity.

OK, correct directory follows below.

Actually, this time I see once every two seconds a message about

I have both options off on 2.6.36 and older kernels.  I have both
options on on 2.6.37-rc5/-rc6 (because I wanted to check something
unrelated on 2.6.37).

Well right --- hald polls the card reader for media change too.

I now noticed that the two lines
	sd *:0:0:0: rpm_resume flags 0x4
	sd *:0:0:0: rpm_resume returns 1
are logged once for each sd device (i.e. those with fixed media too)
at the startup of hald.  Is this expected?

Note, I have not seen anything of the sort on another PC which runs
2.3.37-rc6 with the same PM debug options.  The differences are that
the other PC is an Intel 945GM based one with x86-32 kernel and 32bit
Gentoo userland, whereas the PC with log spam is an AMD RS780 based one
with x86-64 kernel and 64bit Gentoo userland.  Both got hal 0.5.14-r2.

Sorry, I forgot:
Both kernel are configured with the same _PM_ kernel config options.

Okay.  These messages appear because during each probe, something is
requesting a runtime-PM resume.  In the case of sd 6:0:0:0, the resume
happens each time the device file is opened; I don't know why you're
getting a resume request for the scsi7 host (probably something strange
going on in the ATA stack).  If you really want to know, you could add a
dump_stack() to one of the debugging messages in rpm_resume().

The "flags 0x4" means the actual call is pm_runtime_get_sync().  The
"returns 1" means that the call didn't do anything to the hardware because
the device in question was already at full power.

These messages are produced by dev_dbg() calls.  The debug output is 
enabled by either CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE or CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER.  Since you say 
CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE is off, the other must be on -- unless maybe you have 
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.

I don't know anything about the details of hal.  But I do know that you
can tell hal not to poll certain devices.  Look at "man
hal-disable-polling".

Maybe CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set differently, or userspace enables 
dynamic debugging of different subsystems.

No, CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE is of course _on_ in the kernel that spams the
log.  It is off in the older kernel that does not spam the log.

I wouldn't use hal at all if it weren't for some weak userland
programs that require it.

Simpler:  I am now noticing that CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is off on the silent
PC.  It is only on on the PC which produces the log spam.

Good.  Then the solution for me is simply to disable CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME,
which I had switched on for no apparent reason.

Please turn if off, then.  Most likely you don't need it anyway.
