That's weird. This means that either sd_submit_start() hangs or that the 
execution of the START command never finishes. The latter is unlikely 
since the SCSI error handler is assumed to abort commands that hang. It 
would also be weird if sd_submit_start() would hang before the START 
command is submitted since the code flow for submitting the START 
command is very similar to the code flow for submitting the START 
command without patch "scsi: sd: Rework asynchronous resume support" 
(calling scsi_execute()).

What is also weird is that there are at least two SATA setups on which 
this code works fine, including my Qemu setup.

Although it is possible to enable tracing at boot time, adding the 
following parameters to the kernel command line would generate too much 
logging data:

tp_printk 
trace_event=block_rq_complete,block_rq_error,block_rq_insert,block_rq_issue,block_rq_merge,block_rq_remap,block_rq_requeue,scsi_dispatch_cmd_done,scsi_dispatch_cmd_start,scsi_eh_wakeup,scsi_dispatch_cmd_error,scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout 
scsi_mod.scsi_logging_level=32256

I'm not sure what the best way is to proceed since I cannot reproduce 
this issue.

Bart.
