[RFC] ata port runtime pm

[RFC] ata port runtime pm

[Lin Ming]

Hi, all

I send this out early to get feedback how to do ata port runtime pm.

There was some discussion early this year trying to add runtime pm
support to sata_mv controller driver.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=129403126729115&w=2

Here I focus on ata port runtime pm, not controller.

In below conceptual patch, I did

0. Set autosuspend delay to 3 minutes for ata port
1. Split a new function ata_port_request_pm from ata_host_request_pm
2. Add device_type "ata_port_type" which implements callbacks for
   runtime pm core
3. Resume port in ata_scsi_queuecmd if needed
4. Request auto suspend in ata_scsi_queuecmd

CAUTION: this patch DOES NOT work at all.
I just threw it out for discussion.

Any idea?
Thanks.

Putting this into the core command dispatch fast-path is rather 
disappointing.  That's at least one additional lock, plus some atomic 
instructions and tests.

Maybe move suspend request to the resume function, as below.

static int ata_port_runtime_resume(struct device *dev)
{
        struct ata_port *ap = to_ata_port(dev);
        int rc;

        rc = ata_port_request_pm(ap, PMSG_ON, ATA_EH_RESET,
                ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY | ATA_EHI_QUIET, 1);

        pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(dev);
        pm_request_autosuspend(dev);

        return rc;
}

Then the fast-path looks like,

And it calls pm_runtime_resume(), which requires process context, from 
within a SCSI queuecmd routine, which runs in interrupt context.

Unfortunately that won't work.  It's got a race; the device might be 
active when the pm_runtime_suspended() test runs and then it might 
suspend immediately after.

See the example code in section 9 of 
Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt for the outline of a general 
approach.

Hi, 

Thanks to point this out. I change the code to do ata port runtime
suspend/resume through scsi layer.

scsi host runtime suspend/resume framework is already there(scsi_pm.c).
So I only need to insert hooks for ata port in
scsi_runtime_suspend/resume(...).

But I found a live lock when testing my patch.

<scsi host runtime suspend>
  scsi_autopm_put_host
    pm_runtime_put_sync
      <scsi_host runtime pm status updated to RPM_SUSPENDING>
      ......
        <call libata hook to do suspend>
          <wake up scsi EH to handle suspend>
          <wait for scsi EH ...>

<scsi EH wake up>
  scsi_error_handler
    <resume scsi host>
    scsi_autopm_get_host
      pm_runtime_get_sync
      .....
        <sleep to wait for the ongoing scsi host suspend> 

libata schedules scsi EH to handle suspend, then dead lock happens
because scsi EH in turn waits for the ongoing suspend.

Any idea how to resolve this dead lock?

Thanks,
Lin Ming

This is a nasty problem.  I've known for a long time that the 
scsi_autopm_get_host() call in the error handler was going to lead to 
problems.

For now, it seems best to assume that when the error handler starts, 
the device will still be active.  Therefore the scsi_autopm_get_host() 
should be replaced by something that calls pm_runtime_get_noresume() 
instead of pm_runtime_get_sync().

You can try replacing one function call with the other, or you can 
define a new scsi_autopm_get_host_noresume() routine.
