This patch is important for Android. The Android security software uses the sg driver to communicate with the UFS RPMB so this patch is required to enable run-time power management in Android devices with UFS storage. See also https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/refs/heads/main/trusty/storage/proxy/rpmb.c Thanks, Bart.

See also > https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/refs/heads/main/trusty/storage/proxy/rpmb.c Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> The patch itself is innocuous. However, it does open up the possibility of devices unexpectedly going into low-power mode between SG commands, if those commands are spaced sufficiently far apart (more than a few seconds). Presumably the system default is to disallow runtime PM for SCSI devices, so this shouldn't be a big issue. But it might cause trouble in a few cases. Alan Stern

In 2010, runtime power management support was implemented in the SCSI core. The description of patch "[SCSI] implement runtime Power Management" mentions that the sg driver is skipped but not why. This patch enables runtime power management even if an instance of the sg driver is held open. Enabling runtime PM for the sg driver is safe because all interactions of the sg driver with the SCSI device pass through the block layer (blk_execute_rq_nowait()) and the block layer already supports runtime PM.
