commit 0c8d32c27f5cf6e14ca14b4758d1e994eebd50fd upstream.

Forbid port runtime pm by default because it has known hotplug issue.
User can allow it by, for example

echo auto > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata2/power/control

Hi Greg,

Please consider

  0c8d32c27f5c libata: forbid port runtime pm by default, fixing
               regression

for inclusion in the 3.3-stable tree.  (It should apply there cleanly.
The copy in this message is just for easy reference.)

Michael Schmitt noticed[1] using a 3.3.4-based kernel that powering
his esata enclosure on, off, and back on again would cause Linux to no
longer recognize the disk.  By contrast, a 3.2.y-based kernel worked
fine.  Examining logs reveals that on 3.3.y the second time the
enclosure turns on, no PHYRdgyChg CommWake exception shows up:

| dmesg logs directly pasted here. So first, booted with powered down 
| esata enclosure and now, poweron:
| 
| [36997.268364] ata5: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x50000 action 0xe frozen
| [36997.268370] ata5: SError: { PHYRdyChg CommWake }
| [36997.268383] ata5: hard resetting link
[...]
| Disk works.
[...]
| mounted.... and umount again, now powerdown.
|
| [37437.877977] ata5: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x10000 action 0xe frozen
| [37437.877982] ata5: SError: { PHYRdyChg }
| [37437.877995] ata5: hard resetting link
[...]
| Drive gone... now, power-up again.
|
| adrastea:~# dmesg
| adrastea:~#
|
| Nothing. I did clear the kernel-message log in between...

With this patch, Michael found hotplug to work again.

See also [2] and [3].

Jeff seems to have acked it for stable already[4].

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
