    PM: sleep: core: Fix the handling of pending runtime resume requests · e3eb6e8f
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    It has been reported that system-wide suspend may be aborted in the
    absence of any wakeup events due to unforseen interactions of it with
    the runtume PM framework.
    
    One failing scenario is when there are multiple devices sharing an
    ACPI power resource and runtime-resume needs to be carried out for
    one of them during system-wide suspend (for example, because it needs
    to be reconfigured before the whole system goes to sleep).  In that
    case, the runtime-resume of that device involves turning the ACPI
    power resource "on" which in turn causes runtime-resume requests
    to be queued up for all of the other devices sharing it.  Those
    requests go to the runtime PM workqueue which is frozen during
    system-wide suspend, so they are not actually taken care of until
    the resume of the whole system, but the pm_runtime_barrier()
    call in __device_suspend() sees them and triggers system wakeup
    events for them which then cause the system-wide suspend to be
    aborted if wakeup source objects are in active use.
    
    Of course, the logic that leads to triggering those wakeup events is
    questionable in the first place, because clearly there are cases in
    which a pending runtime resume request for a device is not connected
    to any real wakeup events in any way (like the one above).  Moreover,
    it is racy, because the device may be resuming already by the time
    the pm_runtime_barrier() runs and so if the driver doesn't take care
    of signaling the wakeup event as appropriate, it will be lost.
    However, if the driver does take care of that, the extra
    pm_wakeup_event() call in the core is redundant.
    
    Accordingly, drop the conditional pm_wakeup_event() call fron
    __device_suspend() and make the latter call pm_runtime_barrier()
    alone.  Also modify the comment next to that call to reflect the new
    code and extend it to mention the need to avoid unwanted interactions
    between runtime PM and system-wide device suspend callbacks.
