pci_pm_runtime_resume() exits early when the device to resume isn't bound yet: if (!to_pci_driver(dev->driver)) return 0; This however isn't true when the device currently probes and local_pci_probe() calls pm_runtime_get_sync() because then the driver core already setup dev->driver. As a result the driver's resume callback is called before the driver's probe function is called and so more often than not required driver data isn't setup yet. So replace the check for the device being unbound by a check that only becomes true after .probe() succeeded.I like the fact that this patch is short and simple. But there are 30+ users of to_pci_driver(). This patch asserts that *one* of them, pci_pm_runtime_resume(), is special and needs to test device_is_bound() instead of using to_pci_driver().Maybe for the other locations using device_is_bound(&pdev->dev) instead of to_pci_driver(pdev) != NULL would be nice, too? I have another doubt: device_is_bound() should (according to its kernel-doc) be called with the device lock held. For the call stack that is (maybe) fixed here, the lock is held (by __device_attach). We probably should check if the lock is also held for the other calls of pci_pm_runtime_resume(). Hmm, the device lock is a mutex, the pm functions might be called in atomic context, right?quoted
It's special because the current PM implementation calls it via pm_runtime_get_sync() before the driver's .probe() method. That connection is a little bit obscure and fragile. What if the PM implementation changes?Maybe a saver bet would be to not use pm_runtime_get_sync() in local_pci_probe()?Yes, in principle it might be replaced with pm_runtime_get_noresume(). In theory, that may be problematic if a device is put into a low-power state on remove and then the driver is bound again to it.quoted
I wonder if the same problem exists on remove, i.e. pci_device_remove() calls pm_runtime_put_sync() after the driver's .remove() callback was called.If it is called after ->remove() and before clearing the device's driver pointer, then yes.
Yes, that is the case:
pci_device_remove
if (drv->remove) {
pm_runtime_get_sync
drv->remove() # <-- driver ->remove() method
pm_runtime_put_noidle
}
...
pm_runtime_put_sync # <-- after ->remove()
So pm_runtime_put_sync() is called after drv->remove(), and it may
call drv->pm->runtime_idle(). I think the driver may not expect this.
If this is turned into pm_runtime_put_noidle(), all should work.
pci_device_remove() already calls pm_runtime_put_noidle() immediately after calling the driver ->remove() method. Are you saying we should do this, which means pci_device_remove() would call pm_runtime_put_noidle() twice?
