Re: [PATCH v2 07/13] dmaengine: ste_dma40: Fix probe runtime PM disable

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] request_irq() is called before PM runtime is enabled, which can cause an IRQ storm if an interrupt is pending.
- [High] The driver systematically ignores the return value of pm_runtime_get_sync(), failing to handle resume errors.

dmaengine: ste_dma40: Fix probe runtime PM disable

This commit fixes an issue where some d40_probe() error paths disable
runtime PM even if it was never enabled for the device. It introduces a
boolean flag to track whether runtime PM was actually enabled, keeping the
disable_depth balanced during probe failures.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/dmaengine/20260618051539.15E201F000E9@smtp.kernel.org/

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but request_irq() is called before PM
runtime is enabled, which could cause an IRQ storm if an interrupt is
pending.

If an interrupt triggers before runtime PM is enabled, the ISR
d40_handle_interrupt() fails to clear it:

d40_handle_interrupt() {
    ...
    ret = pm_runtime_get_if_active(base->dev);
    if (ret <= 0)
        return IRQ_NONE;
    ...
}

Because pm_runtime_get_if_active() returns an error when runtime PM is
disabled, the handler returns IRQ_NONE without clearing the hardware
interrupt. This causes the interrupt to continually re-trigger.

Could the request_irq() call be moved after pm_runtime_enable() to
prevent this?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but the driver systematically ignores the
return value of pm_runtime_get_sync().

If the device fails to resume due to PM subsystem issues or memory
pressure, does this cause the driver to access powered-off hardware
registers?

For example, in d40_queue_start():

d40_queue_start() {
    ...
    pm_runtime_get_sync(d40c->base->dev);
    /* hardware accesses follow */
    ...
}

Similar unchecked calls exist in d40_pause(), d40_resume(), and
d40_free_dma(). Could these be updated to check for negative error codes
and abort if the resume fails?
