Subject: [PATCH] HID: usbhid: get/put around clearing needs_remote_wakeup

usbhid->intf->needs_remote_wakeup is set when a device is
opened, and is cleared when a device is closed.

When a usbhid device that does not support remote wake
( i.e. !device_can_wakeup() ) is closed, we fail out of
autosuspend_check() because the autosuspend check is called
before the flag is cleared as a result of usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbin);

The result is that a device that may otherwise autosuspend will
fail to enter suspend again after all handles to it are closed.

In usbhid_open, usb_autopm_get_interface is called
before setting the needs_remote_wakeup flag, and
usb_autopm_put_interface is called after hid_start_in.

However, when the device is closed in usbhid_close, the same
protection isn't there when clearing needs_remote_wakeup. This will
add that to usbhid_close as well as usbhid_stop.

usbhid_stop probably doesn't need it. And it should be possible to fix
usbhid_close more easily just by interchanging the two lines:

- usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbin);
usbhid->intf->needs_remote_wakeup = 0;
+ usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbin);

Have you tried this?

Yes, I tried that as well, and that does work.

I used the get/put because that's the way it was done in other
drivers, for example in synusb_close() in
drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_usb.c

In the patch description, you wrote:

If you interchange the two lines then the flag _will_ be cleared before
usb_kill_urb() and autosuspend_check() can run. This means your patch
description is bogus.

Subject: [PATCH v2] HID: usbhid: clear needs_remote_wakeup before usb_kill_urb

usbhid->intf->needs_remote_wakeup is set when a device is
opened, and is cleared when a device is closed.

When a usbhid device that does not support remote wake
( i.e. !device_can_wakeup() ) is closed, we fail out of
autosuspend_check() because the autosuspend check is called
before the flag is cleared as a result of usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbin);

The result is that a device that may otherwise autosuspend will
fail to enter suspend again after all handles to it are closed.

Clear the flag first before usb_kill_urb, which may result in a
autosuspend_check().

Wait a minute -- in your previous email you said this approach didn't

Sorry for the confusion. The approach *does* work.

That was actually my original idea to fix the problem, but I saw other
places in the kernel where it was done with a get/put.

Interesting, but this has the side effect of waking devices
that are asleep just to remove the flag.

The reason for the get/put is to force a call to autosuspend_check().
But in this case, if killing the interrupt URB causes
autosuspend_check() to run then the get/put isn't needed.

On the other hand, I don't see why killing the interrupt URB would
cause autosuspend_check() to run. Can you explain that?

Sorry for the delay in my response. I did some more checking of my
particular failure, and my commit message is incorrect. The
usb_kill_urb is actually not the cause of this problem. It does not
result in autosuspend_check() itself, and is only serving to add some
delay.

hidraw_release() in hidraw.c calls drop_ref(), which calls the
following in sequence upon clearing the last reader :
/* close device for last reader */
hid_hw_power(hidraw->hid, PM_HINT_NORMAL);
hid_hw_close(hidraw->hid);

hid_hw_power results in a usb_autopm_put_interface. In this case, the
reference count is decremented to 0, and a delayed autosuspend request
is attempted.
hid_hw_close leads to usbhid_close, which clears needs_remote_wakeup.

However, there's no guarantee that the clear of needs_remote_wakeup
will occur before the delayed work ( runtime_idle() ->
autosuspend_check() ) runs. Moving usbhid->intf->needs_remote_wakeup
= 0 to before the usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbin) only serves to reduce
the amount of time between these events and makes this particular
failure less likely.

The correct solution is to put get/put around each change of
needs_remote_wakeup, as that will correctly trigger another delayed
autosuspend_check(), whose result is affected by the state of
needs_remote_wakeup.

Since autosuspend_check() occurs as delayed work, I think it is
appropriate to add get/put around the clear in usbhid_stop as well.

If devices are already asleep with this flag enabled, that means that
they are presently configured for remote wake.

Waking the device in the case of a close() is appropriate because it
also has the effect of re-suspending the device with the capability
disabled, as it is no longer necessary.

As Oliver pointed out, there's no real need to resume a device which is
already suspended (the only effect would be to allow it to suspend
again but with wakeup disabled -- and this would happen anyway if a
wakeup occurred). Instead of using get and put, we should have an idle
call.

There is no USB wrapper for pm_runtime_idle calls, but one could be
added. Still, in the meantime can you check to see what happens if you
add

pm_runtime_idle(&usbhid->intf->dev);

in usbhid_close() just after needs_remote_wakeup is set to 0? You can
do the same thing in usbhid_stop() if you want.

Come to think of it, we probably need

pm_runtime_idle(usbhid->intf->dev->parent);

in addition to the function call above. When a USB wrapper is written,
it can take care of these details.

Yes, but that doesn't matter. The drivers must be ready for a device
being resumed at any time. Remote wakeup just adds one more reason.

But there is very little to be gained by switching off remote wakeup.
The additional energy consumption devices with remote wakeup enabled
will be dwarfed by the energy needed for an additional wakeup.

That makes sense to me. Does this mean we should be moving toward a
solution that doesn't wake suspended devices on close for other usb
devices, not just hid?

This particular pattern of get()/needs_remote_wakeup=0/put() on
close() appears in several other drivers, for example :
62ecae0 Input: wacom - properly enable runtime PM
5d9efc5 Input: usbtouchscreen - implement runtime power management

I tried using this in lieu of usb_autopm_get/put_interface:

usbhid->intf->needs_remote_wakeup = 0;
pm_runtime_idle(&usbhid->intf->dev);
pm_runtime_idle(usbhid->intf->dev.parent);

It did not work. I see the autosuspend_check() that was kicked off as
a result of hid_hw_power, which falls into the "remote wakeup needed
for autosuspend" branch, but I don't see another autosuspend_check()
that picks up the updated value of needs_remote_wakeup.

Yes, we should never wake up a device just to unset remote
wakeup for runtime PM. In hindsight those patches were clumsy.

Well, why not?

In order to work on the kernel effectively, you need the right
mind-set. Don't just tell people when something goes wrong -- figure
out why the problem occurred and propose a way to fix it.
