It's not directly related to your commit, it's just a side effect.

It's not the power_off() call that's problematic, it's when it happens
(the last thing called in panfrost_device_runtime_suspend()), and the
fact it generates interrupts. Yes, you don't explicitly gate the clocks
in panfrost_device_runtime_suspend(), but the PM layer does interact
directly with power domains, and shutting down a power domain might
result in other clks/components being gated, which might make the
register bank inaccessible from the CPU.

Really? In practice I'd expect no pending interrupts, other than the
power transition ones, which are purely and simply ignored by the
handler. If we had any other pending interrupts on suspend, we would
have faced this problem before. To sum-up, I'd expect the extra latency
to just be the overhead of the synchronize_irq() call, which, after
looking at the code, shouldn't be such a big deal.

Yes, that's an option, but I don't think that's enough (see below).

> or clearing interrupts,

The handler might have been called already when you clear the
interrupt, and you'd still need to make sure the handler has returned
before returning from panfrost_device_runtime_suspend() if you want to
guarantee no one is touching the registers when the power domains are
shutdown.

They are generated while you poll the register, but that doesn't
guarantee they will be processed by the time you return from your
power_off() function, which I think is exactly the problem we're facing
here.

> Or we could simply disable the irq after power_off, but that'd be hacky (=
as well).

If by disabling the interrupt you mean calling disable_irq(), that
would work if the irq lines were not declared as shared (IRQF_SHARED
flag passed at request time). Beside, the latency of disable_irq()
should be pretty much the same as synchronize_irq(), given
synchronize_irq() from there.

If by disabling the interrupt, you mean masking it with _INT_MASK,
then, as said above, that's not enough. You need to make sure any
handler that may have been called as a result of this interrupt,
returns before you return from the suspend function, so you need some
kind of synchronization.

>=20
>=20
> Let's see if asking to poweroff *everything* works:

It might slightly change the timing, making this problem disappear by
chance (if the interrupt gets processed before power_off() returns),
but it doesn't make the suspend logic more robust. We really have to
guarantee that no one will touch the registers when we enter suspend,
be it some interrupt handler, or any kind of deferred work.

Again, none of this is a direct result of your patch, it's just that
your patch uncovered the problem, and I think now is a good time to fix
it properly.
