Hi Bjorn,
Trying to support runtime suspend in a driver, which puts the device
in D3hot and wait either for host/driver initiated resume
(runtime_get), or device initiated resume (PME).
But, given that old change: 42eca2302146 ("PCI: Don't touch card regs
after runtime suspend D3")
PME that was enabled from pci_finish_runtime_suspend() is not enabled
anymore for almost all drivers in case of runtime-suspend. The only
way to enable this is by calling pci_wake_from_d3() from the PCI device
driver's runtime_suspend() callback, but this function fails if the
device wake_up is not enabled, which makes sense since it targets
system-wide sleep wake-up (and wake-up is user/distro policy).
So is there a proper way to allow PME while the device is runtime
suspended, without having to tell the user to enabled 'unrelated' wake_up
capability?
pci_pm_runtime_suspend() calls pci_finish_runtime_suspend(), which
enables wake-up, unless "pci_dev->state_saved". IIUC we should be
enabling wake-up unless the driver has called pci_save_state() itself.
So I infer that your driver does call pci_save_state() and the PCI
core does not enable wake-up. Right?
Why does your driver call pci_save_state()? In most cases I don't
think drivers should need to do that themselves because the PCI core
will do it for them. E.g., see Vaibhav's recent eb6779d4c505 ("e1000:
use generic power management") [1]
