There are variables(power.may_skip_resume and dev->power.must_resume)
and DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME flags to control the resume of devices
after
a system wide suspend transition.

Setting the DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME flag means that the driver allows
its "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks to be skipped if the device
can be left in suspend after a system-wide transition into the working
state. PM core determines that the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume
callbacks should be skipped or not with dev_pm_skip_resume()
function by
checking power.may_skip_resume variable.

power.must_resume variable is getting set to false in
__device_suspend()
function without checking device's DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME and
dev->power.usage_count variables. This is leading to failure to call
resume handler for some of the devices suspended in early suspend
phase.
So check device's DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME flag before
setting power.must_resume variable.

What is preventing that atomic value from changing _right_ after you
just read this?

and very odd indentation, checkpatch didn't complain about this?
Sure. I will fix indentation problem once Rafael reviewed this patch.

What commit does this fix?  Does it need to be backported to older
kernels?
No. LTS - 5.4 do not have this problem.

Wait, how is your "noirq" device even getting called here?  Shouldn't
__device_suspend_noirq() be called instead?  Why isn't that the path for
your device?
Hi Gregh and Rafael,

This is regarding suspend/resume(s2idle) scenario of devices and differences
between the LTS kernel 5.4 and 5.10 with respect to devices suspend and
resume. Observing that devices suspended in suspend_late stage are not
getting resumed in resume_early stage.
1)	LTS kernel 5.4 kernel do not have this problem but 5.10 kernel shows this
problem.
2)	Commit - 6e176bf8d46194353163c2cb660808bc633b45d9 (PM: sleep: core: Do
not skip callbacks in the resume phase) is skipping the driver early_resume
callbacks.

In device_resume_early function dev->power.must_resume is used to skip the
resume call back. It looks this function is expecting that,
__device_suspend_noirq() would set dev->power.must_resume = true for the
devices which does not have DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME flag set.

              dev->power.may_skip_resume))
                dev->power.must_resume = true;


3)	Problematic scenario is as follows -  During the device suspend/resume
scenario all the devices in  the suspend_late stage are successful and some
device can fail to suspend in suspend_noirq(device_suspend_noirq->
__device_suspend_noirq) phase.
As a device failed in dpm_noirq_suspend_devices phase, dpm_resume_noirq is
getting called to resume devices in dpm_late_early_list in the noirq phase.
4)	During the Devices_early_resume stage
dpm_resume_early()-->device_resume_early() functions skipping the devices
early resume callbacks.
 799         if (dev_pm_skip_resume(dev))
800	              goto Skip;

5)	Devices suspended in suspend_late stage are not getting resumed in
Devices_early_resume stage because of Commit -
6e176bf8d46194353163c2cb660808bc633b45d9 (PM: sleep: core: Do not skip
callbacks in the resume phase) is skipping the driver early_resume callbacks
when dev->power.must_resume is false.

6)	Below portion of the code in __device_suspend_noirq is not getting
executed for some drivers successfully suspended in suspend_late stage and
there is no chance to set must_resume to true.  So these devices are always
having dev->power.must_resume=false.
For example -
i)	Devices A, B, C have suspend_late and resume_early handlers.
ii)	Devices X, Y, Z  have suspend_noirq and resume_noirq handlers.
Devices are getting suspended in this order – A, B, X , C , Y and Z and
device X return failure for suspend_noirq callback. In this scenario, device
C would never execute below portion of the code to set
dev->power.must_resume = true and device – C would not get resumed in
resume_early  stage.

Ok, that explains it a bit better, thank you.  Can you please try to
expand on your changelog text when you resubmit this to include this
information and properly identify what commit caused this problem to
happen by adding a Fixes: tag?

thanks,
