[PATCH 0/3] ASoC: core: Suspend/resume error propagation

[Cezary Rojewski]

Currently all erros encountered during suspend/resume are squelched
what limits the error-handling possibilities.

Patches found here combined together allow for those errors to be
propagated up. This aligns ASoC component's behavior with how
PM-framework handles suspend/resume for a device - there's always an
option for a client (driver) to return an error code in case of failure.

[PATCH 1/3] ASoC: component: Propagate result of suspend and resume callbacks

[Cezary Rojewski]

From: Amadeusz Sławiński <amadeuszx.slawinski@linux.intel.com>

Both component->driver->suspend and ->resume() do return an int value
but it isn't propagated to the core later on. Update
snd_soc_component_suspend() and snd_soc_component_resume() so that the
possible errors are not squelched.

This looks alright on paper but could break existing solutions.
There are a number of cases where an error during suspend is not fatal
and you don't want to prevent a system suspend if this is recoverable on
resume.

See for example the errors on clock-stop for SoundWire, which are
squelched on purpose. See also Andy Ross' PR to precisely stop
propagating errors in SOF https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/3863

Maybe a less intrusive change would be to add a WARN_ON or something
visible to make sure solutions are fixed, and only critical issues can
prevent suspend? And in a second step the errors are propagated.

Do note that thread you've pointed out handles device suspend, by which 
I mean, it is modification of sof_suspend(), called by 
snd_sof_runtime_suspend() which is then registered as handler in:
sound/soc/sof/sof-pci-dev.c: 
SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS(snd_sof_runtime_suspend, snd_sof_runtime_resume,
sound/soc/sof/sof-acpi-dev.c: 
SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS(snd_sof_runtime_suspend, snd_sof_runtime_resume,
sound/soc/sof/sof-of-dev.c: 
SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS(snd_sof_runtime_suspend, snd_sof_runtime_resume,
and then taking TGL device for example there is:
static struct pci_driver snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl_driver = {
	(...)
         .driver = {
                 .pm = &sof_pci_pm,
         },
};

And what this patch set changes is handling of .suspend callback present 
in struct snd_soc_component_driver, which as evidenced by followup 
patches is handled in ASoC core while audio is being suspended.
As far as I can tell SOF makes no direct use of this callback.

I'm not negating that maybe there should be a bit of time when only 
warning is emitted, just making sure that we are on the same page, about 
what is being changed.

If by 'that thread' you are referring to PR #3863, then it's an
excellent example of a desire NOT to propage suspend errors and at the
same time an example of a configuration where suspend would not work
without additional changes.

I don't think there is an impact on SOF indeed.

I was just making the point that well-intended changes to propagate
error status can break platforms. we've had a similar case when trying
to add checks on pm_runtime_get_sync() and saw multiple errors. Adding
more error checks when they were not there from the very beginning is a
difficult thing to achieve without regressions.

[PATCH 2/3] ASoC: core: Inline resume work back to resume function

[Cezary Rojewski]

From: Amadeusz Sławiński <amadeuszx.slawinski@linux.intel.com>

Commit 6ed2597883b1 ("ALSA: ASoC: Don't block system resume") introduced
deferred_resume_work for ASoC subsystem. While this allows for potential
speed up during boot on some slow devices, it doesn't allow to properly
propagate return values in case something failed during system resume.

Are you suggesting to remove this workqueue that's been there since
2008, which would impact negatively slow devices?

If I follow your logic, we should also remove the workqueue used for
probes for HDaudio devices, on the grounds that probe errors are not
propagated either.

Any time we have deferred processing to avoid blocking the rest of the
system, we incur the risk of not having errors propagated. It's a
compromise between having a system that's usable and a system that's
consistent.

Indeed, and the definition of fast and slow is a bit of a moving target
- the faster the rest of the system can resume the less desirable it is
to block on for example an I2C register map resync even if the hundreds
of miliseconds of ramp time that were an issue originally.

The other question is what we'd constructively do about a resume failure
that we can't defer.  It feels like we should at least retain the
ability to defer for devices where this is an issue (older components
tend to be cheap and packaged in easier to assemble packaging and hence
get used with lower end applications even well after they're no longer
competitive at the high end), and if we are going to return some errors

both from a duplication/complexity point of view and from the point of

I believe that framework should be supporting both, the deferred and the 
instant resume options. 'void' in front of suspend/resume in ASoC 
hinders developer's options.

(load)
The HDAudio driver is actually a good example of how to do it right - we 
did not modify driver/base/ to have ->probe() return void. It remained 
as is, instead, a developer opt-ins for a delayed probe through a 
workqueue. This way, everyone is satisfied.
Cohesiveness is not to be forgotten too - keeping behavior and 
expectations of the standard set of functionalities aligned with the 
rest of the driver/base makes it easier to hop into ASoC.

We could provide some additional flags so that the ASoC core always 
defers PM-related work for certain components if they choose to.

It'd be good to at least have some idea of practical usage as well, the
functions return void because nothing was making any use of the return
values.

There's also an expectation that suspend and resume be fast...

The problem is mainly connected to a resume operation as even if 
something fails at suspend, there is a chance for the driver to recover 
things up during resume.

Now, if something fails during the resume operation, blindly returning 0 
makes userspace think everything is fine and we can keep going, whereas 
the stream may no longer be operational and requires complete recovery 
(close, reopen).

alsa-utils/aplay/aplay.c does snd_pcm_resume() as long as -EAGAIN is 
returned, then falls back to snd_pcm_prepare() before finally giving up. 
As snd_pcm_prepare() checks pcm's state before invoking ->prepare(), one 
option is to set substream->runtime->status->state to 
SNDRV_PCM_STATE_DISCONNECTED to ensure dai->hw_free() gets called right 
after.

TLDR: it all comes down to some granularity missing. Suspend/resume for 
the AudioDSP drivers do basically entire pcm-lifecycle within what is 
supposed to be a simple TRIGGER_SUSPEND/RESUME operation.

> There's also an expectation that suspend and resume be fast...

You're right. Sound devices should not disturb the PM for the entire system.

Looking at this after thinking the performance/stability argument 
through, indeed deferring work is a good way of dealing with the situation.

[PATCH 3/3] ASoC: core: Propagate component suspend/resume errors

[Cezary Rojewski]

From: Amadeusz Sławiński <amadeuszx.slawinski@linux.intel.com>

In case there is a failure during component suspend/resume, error should
be propagated back to callers.
