[PATCH] libata: skip EH autopsy and recovery during suspend

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Sep 02 2010 - 06:03:10 EST


For some mysterious reason, certain hardware reacts badly to usual EH
actions while the system is going for suspend. As the devices won't
be needed until the system is resumed, ask EH to skip usual autopsy
and recovery and proceed directly to suspend.

Can you please verify this one?

Thanks.
