#1349553 — [PATCH] PM / Runtime: Only force-resume device if it has been force-suspended

The pm_runtime_force_suspend() and pm_runtime_force_resume() helpers are
designed to help driver being RPM-centric by offering an easy way to
manager runtime PM state during system suspend and resume. The first
function will force the device into runtime suspend at system suspend
time, while the second one will perform the reverse operation at system
resume time.

However, the pm_runtime_force_resume() really forces resume, regarding
of whether the device was running or already suspended before the call
to pm_runtime_force_suspend(). This results in devices being runtime
resumed at system resume time when they shouldn't.

Fix this by recording whether the device has been forcefully suspended
in pm_runtime_force_suspend() and condition resume in
pm_runtime_force_resume() to that state.

All current users of pm_runtime_force_resume() call the function
uncontionally in their system resume handler (some actually set it as
the resume handler), all after calling pm_runtime_force_suspend() at
system suspend time. The change in behaviour should thus be safe.

I agree this is the right approach, but Ulf should ack this too since
he's looked into all the strange corner case involved and may know of
something I've missed.

Overall I have no objections to this change, as I think it's improving
the behaviour!

What I was thinking though, but it might be a bit controversial. :-)...
Instead of relying on whether we actually forced runtime suspend
earlier, why couldn't we instead check the runtime PM usage count of
the device?

Only when it's greater than zero, we shall do the forced resume of the
device, otherwise just re-enable runtime PM.

This would have the affect of leaving devices in runtime suspend,
until they really needs to be used again. It would thus decrease the
total system PM resume time.

Do you think this could work?

Kind regards
Uffe

Setting a bitflag is not SMP-safe.  When you write to one of the
runtime-PM bits under dev->power, it is necessary to hold 
dev->power.lock.

If you do this then there would be no need for is_force_suspended.  It 
seems like a good idea to me.

I agree, that's a better idea. Drivers shouldn't call 
pm_runtime_force_resume() if they haven't called pm_runtime_force_suspend(), 
so checking the PM use count should be fine. I'll modify the patch, test it 
and resubmit.

I gave it an unfortunately unsuccessful try. The problem I ran into is that 
device_prepare() calls pm_runtime_get_noresume() calls 
pm_runtime_get_noresume(), with the corresponding pm_runtime_put() call being 
performed in device_complete(). The device power usage_count is thus always 
non-zero in the system resume handler, so I can't base the decision on that.

I also noticed that pm_genpd_prepare() runtime-resumes the device (when the 
power domain is in the GPD_STATE_ACTIVE state). I don't know why that is, but 
it means that in practice my device gets runtime-resumed when suspending the 
system while it could stay runtime-suspended in practice.

You could check for usage_count > 1 instead of > 0.  With a comment 
explaining why, of course.

As Alan said, let's just check against 1 instead.

I am aware of this and it's on my TODO list of improvements of genpd,
The issue is related to an unoptimized behaviour for how genpd deal
with wakeups during system PM.
