2.6.37-rc5, pata_atiixp, DVD-ROM: kernel log flooded with "rpm_resume flags 0x4", "rpm_resume returns 1"

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
