I have an unused disk ( no mounted filesystems ) that I put to sleep ( hdparm -Y ) and every 10 minutes, the link is reset to process a request coming from a short lived process named "pool". I think it is a kernel work queue. I inserted a dump_stack() but it stops when it gets to the syscall and so doesn't trace back into what work item is running. How can I figure out what work item is doing this?

Maybe you could try something like this: printk(KERN_ERR "wakeup %d", current->pid); -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol for mesh networks see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com
