Unless I am very mistaken, further down in storage_suspend, I call
+ /* In case of autosuspend device must be unblocked again */
+ if (us->pusb_dev->auto_pm) {
+err_unblock:
+ shost_for_each_device(sdev, host) {
+ if (sdev == sdev2) {
+ scsi_device_put(sdev);
+ break;
+ }
+ scsi_device_resume(sdev);
which again allows normal io, so the autoresume is triggered.
It may deadlock, you are right about that, but it is definitely triggered.
I verified that experimentally.
