Subject[regression] CD-ROM polling blocks suspend on some machines (Re: [PATCH 1/2] cdrom: always check_disk_change() on open)
Hi,

Various people[1] have been noticing a race (or races?) in which the
cdrom_id and scsi_id programs from udev can get stuck in the D state
if udev doesn't sleep a little while before running them. This
prevents the machine from suspending. The problem was discovered with
Debian kernels

2.6.39-1
2.6.39-2
3.0.0-1

and was not experienced with kernel

2.6.38-5

(These kernels are closely based on v2.6.39, v2.6.39.1, v3.0, and
v2.6.38.5, respectively.) Reverting commit bf2253a6f00e (cdrom:
always check_disk_change() on open, 2011-04-29) seems to avoid
trouble.

One common theme seems to be DVD drives. Details at [1].

Known problem? Any ideas for tracking it down?

Looking forward to your thoughts,
Jonathan
