Subject: [PATCHv3 0/4] Get rid of pm_runtime_irq_safe() for 8250_omap

Hi,

Here are v3 patches to get rid of pm_runtime_irq_safe() for the 8250_omap
driver. Based on comments from Andy, Johan and Greg, I improved a bunch of
things as listed below.

For removing the pm_runtime_irq_safe() usage, serial TX is the last
remaining issue. We deal with TX by waking up the port and returning 0
bytes written from write_room() and write() if the port is not available
because of PM runtime autoidle.

This series also removes the dependency to Andy's pending generic serial
layer PM runtime patches, and hopefully makes that work a bit easier :)

Regards,

Tony

Chganges since v2:

- Use locking instead of atomic_t as suggested by Greg

Changes since v1:

- Separated out line discipline patches, n_tty -EAGAIN change I still
need to retest

- Changed prep_tx() to more generic wakeup() as also flow control needs it

- Changed over to using wakeup() with device driver runtime PM instead
of write_room()

- Added runtime_suspended flag for drivers and generic serial layer PM
to use


Tony Lindgren (4):
serial: core: Add wakeup() and start_pending_tx() for power management
serial: 8250: Implement wakeup for TX and use it for 8250_omap
serial: 8250_omap: Require a valid wakeirq for deeper idle states

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] serial: 8250: Implement wakeup for TX and use it for 8250_omap

We can use the wakeup() and uart_start_pending_tx() calls to wake up an
idle serial port and send out the pending TX buffer on runtime PM resume.
This allows us to remove the dependency to pm_runtime_irq_safe() for
8250_omap driver in the following patches.

We manage the port runtime_suspended flag in the serial port driver as
only the driver knows when the hardware is runtime PM suspended. Note that
The current flag for rpm_tx_active cannot be used as it is TX specific
for 8250_port.

We already have serial8250_start_tx() call serial8250_rpm_get_tx(), and
serial8250_stop_tx() call serial8250_rpm_put_tx() to take care of the
runtime PM usage count for TX. To have the serial port driver call
uart_start_pending_tx() on runtime resume, we must now use just
pm_runtime_get() for serial8250_start_tx() instead of the sync version.

With these changes we must now also flip the 8250_omap driver over to
call uart_start_pending_tx(). That's currently the only user of
UART_CAP_RPM.

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] serial: core: Add wakeup() and start_pending_tx() for power management

If the serial driver implements PM runtime with autosuspend, the port may
be powered down on TX. To wake up the port, let's add new wakeup() call
for serial drivers to implement as needed. We can call wakeup() from
__uart_start() and flow control related functions before attempting to
write to the serial port registers.

Let's keep track of the serial port with a new runtime_suspended flag
that the device driver runtime PM suspend and resume can manage with
port->lock held. This is because only the device driver knows what the
device runtime PM state as in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst
under "9. Autosuspend, or automatically-delayed suspend" for locking.

To allow the serial port drivers to send out pending tx on runtime PM
resume, let's add start_pending_tx() as suggested by Johan Hovold
<[email protected]>.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] serial: 8250_omap: Require a valid wakeirq for deeper idle states

For deeper idle states the 8250 device gets powered off. The wakeup is
handled with a separate wakeirq controller monitoring the RX pin.

Let's check for a valid wakeirq before enabling deeper idle states.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] serial: 8250_omap: Drop the use of pm_runtime_irq_safe()

We can finally drop the pm_runtime_irq_safe() usage for 8250_omap driver.

We already have the serial layer RX wake path fixed for power management.
We no longer allow deeper idle states unless the kernel console has been
detached, and we require that the RX wakeirq is configured.

For TX path, we now use the prep_tx() and uart_flush_tx() calls.

To drop pm_runtime_irq_safe(), we remove all PM runtime calls from the
interrupt context. If we ever see an interrupt for an idled port, we just
bail out. We now also need to restore the port context with interrupts
disabled to prevent interrupts from happening while restoring the port.

...this isn't right. You should just resume the device synchronously
here and not return some random error to user space, which it is
unlikely to even handle.

Now this may require moving more of the runtime PM into serial core,
where it should have been added in the first place, due to a lot of the
serial callbacks being called with the port spin lock held.

The current implementation is just broken. Take uart_dtr_rts(), for
example, nothing makes sure that the device is active before accessing
the modem control registers there. You're currently just relying on
luck and pm_runtime_irq_safe() (which you are now trying to remove).

Heh, here you do try to do something about dtr_rts(), but you can't just
ignore the request and wish for the best in case the device is
suspended. :) There needs to be a synchronous resume here too.

Oh, there's a lot more than TX that needs fixing... And I believe the
second sentence no longer applies since v1.

OK I'll check what we can already wake synchronously :)

Yup.. So the good news is that Andy already has the generic serial layer
runtime PM changes in his WIP tree. I'll take a look if we can already
add some of that without bringing in all the other dependencies.

Yeah agreed, it's broken. It is usable for at least two limited cases
though, which are a serial port console with PM, and bluetooth with PM.

The serial port console typically only has RX and TX lines connected, and
the bluetooth typically uses out-of-band GPIO pins for wakeups.

To enable the serial port PM in general, we need to make sure it is
enabled only for applications where it can be used. So it needs to be
enabled from the user space as we do for the serial console, or enabled
from the consumer device driver for things like bluetooth.

Sure the TX should work in all other cases too..

Well for the current use cases the port should be already awake at
this point :) But yeah, for the TX path we should be able to handle
all the cases.
