From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]>
It has been reported that system-wide suspend may be aborted in the
absence of any wakeup events due to unforseen interactions of it with
the runtume PM framework.
One failing scenario is when there are multiple devices sharing an
ACPI power resource and runtime-resume needs to be carried out for
one of them during system-wide suspend (for example, because it needs
to be reconfigured before the whole system goes to sleep). In that
case, the runtime-resume of that device involves turning the ACPI
power resource "on" which in turn causes runtime resume requests
to be queued up for all of the other devices sharing it. Those
requests go to the runtime PM workqueue which is frozen during
system-wide suspend, so they are not actually taken care of until
the resume of the whole system, but the pm_runtime_barrier()
call in __device_suspend() sees them and triggers system wakeup
events for them which then cause the system-wide suspend to be
aborted if wakeup source objects are in active use.
Of course, the logic that leads to triggering those wakeup events is
questionable in the first place, because clearly there are cases in
which a pending runtime resume request for a device is not connected
to any real wakeup events in any way (like the one above). Moreover,
if there is a pending runtime resume request for a device while
__device_suspend() is running for it, the physical state of the
device may not be in agreement with the "suspended" runtime PM status
of it (which may be the very reason for queuing up the runtime resume
request for it).
For these reasons, rework __device_suspend() to carry out synchronous
runtime-resume for devices with pending runtime resume requests before
attempting to invoke system-wide suspend callbacks for them with the
expectation that their drivers will trigger system-wide wakeup events
in the process of handling the runtime resume, if necessary.

Is this really right? Note that whenever pm_runtime_barrier() returns a
nonzero value, it already calls rpm_resume(dev, 0). So the
pm_runtime_resume() call added here is redundant.
Furthermore, by the logic used in this patch, the call to
pm_wakeup_event() in the original code is also redundant: Any required
wakeup event should have been generated when the runtime resume inside
pm_runtime_barrer() was carried out. Removing a redundant function call
can't fix a bug!
This means that the code could be simplified to just:
pm_runtime_barrier(dev);
Will this fix the reported bug? It seems likely to me that the actual
problem with the failure scenario in the patch description was that
turning on an ACPI power resource causes runtime-resume requests to be
queued for all devices sharing that resource. Wouldn't it make more
sense to resume only the device that requested it and leave the others
in runtime suspend?

The problem with at least PCIe devices that share ACPI power resources
is that once you turn on the power resource all the devices that shared
it will go into D0uninitialized power state and that means they lose all
wake configuration etc. so they need to be re-initialized by their
driver before they can go back to D3(cold) in order for their wakes to
still work.

Plus devices in D0uninitialized may prevent the SoC from allowing package
C-states to be used for the processor AFAICS.
BTW, does the patch make the issue at hand go away?

Yes, it is (it seems that I've looked at __pm_runtime_barrier() alone, not sure
why).

It should be redundant in the real wakeup event cases, but it may cause
spurious suspend aborts to occur when there are no real system wakeup
events.
Actually, the original code is racy with respect to system wakeup events,
because it depends on the exact time when the runtime-resume starts. Namely,
if it manages to start before the freezing of pm_wq, the wakeup will be lost
unless the driver takes care of reporting it, which means that drivers really
need to do that anyway. And if they do that (which hopefully is the case), the
pm_wakeup_event() call in the core may be dropped.
> Removing a redundant function call can't fix a bug!
That's true, but this particular call is redundant only if there is a real
wakeup event. Otherwise it may produce a spurious wakeup.

Yes, it could, so I'm going to re-spin the patch with this code simplification
and updated changelog.

I think so.

Please see the Mika's reply for a good explanation of this.

I asked the folks who have this particular hardware to try it out as I
don't have access to this one. Hopefully we get the results back soon
and once we do, I'll let you know.

In other words, wakeup events are supposed to be reported at the time
the wakeup request is first noticed, right? We don't want to wait until
a resume or runtime_resume callback runs; thanks to this race the
callback might not run at all if the event isn't reported first.
Therefore the reasoning behind the original code appears to have been
highly suspect. If there already was a queued runtime-resume request
for the device and the device was wakeup-enabled, the wakeup event
should _already_ have been reported at the time the request was queued.
And we shouldn't rely on it being reported by the runtime-resume
callback routine.

That's correct.

The callback will run, either through the wq or by the pm_runtime_barrier(),
but if it runs through the wq, pm_runtime_barrier() will return 0 and
pm_wakeup_event() will not called by the core, so it must be called from
elsewhere anyway.

Fair enough!
