    scsi: sd: Introduce manage_shutdown device flag · 24eca2dc
    Damien Le Moal authored
    Commit aa3998db ("ata: libata-scsi: Disable scsi device
    manage_system_start_stop") change setting the manage_system_start_stop
    flag to false for libata managed disks to enable libata internal
    management of disk suspend/resume. However, a side effect of this change
    is that on system shutdown, disks are no longer being stopped (set to
    standby mode with the heads unloaded). While this is not a critical
    issue, this unclean shutdown is not recommended and shows up with
    increased smart counters (e.g. the unexpected power loss counter
    "Unexpect_Power_Loss_Ct").
    
    Instead of defining a shutdown driver method for all ATA adapter
    drivers (not all of them define that operation), this patch resolves
    this issue by further refining the sd driver start/stop control of disks
    using the new flag manage_shutdown. If this new flag is set to true by
    a low level driver, the function sd_shutdown() will issue a
    START STOP UNIT command with the start argument set to 0 when a disk
    needs to be powered off (suspended) on system power off, that is, when
    system_state is equal to SYSTEM_POWER_OFF.
    
    Similarly to the other manage_xxx flags, the new manage_shutdown flag is
    exposed through sysfs as a read-write device attribute.
    
    To avoid any confusion between manage_shutdown and
    manage_system_start_stop, the comments describing these flags in
    include/scsi/scsi.h are also improved.
