[PATCH v4 0/2] iio: gyro: mpu3050: Fix runtime PM refcount leak in trigger enable path

[Xiangwu Lai]

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the review! This version addresses both comments on the
trigger helpers: the dispatcher now uses an else, and the error
return for the IRQ status read in the enable path is propagated.
The disable path is left as is, as you concluded it was not worth
the effort to fix.

Patch 1 splits the enable and disable paths out of
mpu3050_drdy_trigger_set_state() into separate helpers. It is a pure
code move with no functional change. Patch 2 applies the runtime PM
refcount fix on top, using pm_runtime_resume_and_get() instead of
pm_runtime_get_sync(), which also keeps the usage counter balanced
when the resume fails.

Changes in v4:
- use an else for the either/or dispatch in
  mpu3050_drdy_trigger_set_state(), as suggested by the reviewer.
- propagate the error from the IRQ status read in the enable path
  instead of only printing it, as suggested by the reviewer.

Changes in v3:
- no code changes, the series was reposted as a new top-level thread.

Changes in v2:
- split the enable and disable paths out of
  mpu3050_drdy_trigger_set_state() into a precursor patch and use
  pm_runtime_resume_and_get() instead of pm_runtime_get_sync(), as
  suggested by the reviewer.

[PATCH v4 1/2] iio: gyro: mpu3050: Split data ready trigger enable/disable into helpers

[Xiangwu Lai]

From: laixiangwu <laixiangwu@cmss.chinamobile.com>

mpu3050_drdy_trigger_set_state() implements both the enable and the
disable path of the data ready trigger in the two legs of a large
if/else statement.

Split the two legs out into separate mpu3050_drdy_trigger_enable()
and mpu3050_drdy_trigger_disable() helpers and reduce
mpu3050_drdy_trigger_set_state() to dispatching to the appropriate
one. This is a pure code move with no functional change, done to make
the error handling of the enable path easier to read.

[PATCH v4 2/2] iio: gyro: mpu3050: Fix runtime PM refcount leak in trigger enable path

[Xiangwu Lai]

From: laixiangwu <laixiangwu@cmss.chinamobile.com>

mpu3050_drdy_trigger_enable() calls pm_runtime_get_sync() when
enabling the data ready trigger, but all five error returns in the
enable path return directly without the matching
pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(). The disable path, in contrast, drops
the reference correctly.

As a result, a failed trigger enable leaves the runtime PM usage
counter incremented and the sensor can never runtime suspend. It also
leaves hw_irq_trigger set to true, claiming the hardware IRQ is in
use when it is not.

Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which does not leave the usage
counter incremented when resume fails, and add an error label that
drops the runtime PM reference and clears hw_irq_trigger so that a
failed enable returns with the device in the same state as before
the attempt.

Also propagate the error from the IRQ status read that clears the
data ready flag instead of only printing it, so that a failure
anywhere in the enable path consistently rolls the trigger state
back.

Why not PM_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE*()?
Yes, to make the

	mpu3050->hw_irq_trigger = false;

this needs to be wrapped (two functions, outer one uses PM_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE(),
and handles the flag).

Re: [PATCH v4 2/2] iio: gyro: mpu3050: Fix runtime PM refcount leak in trigger enable path

[Xiangwu Lai]

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the suggestion!

The runtime PM reference in mpu3050_drdy_trigger_enable() is not
scoped to the function: it is taken when the trigger is enabled and
only dropped by mpu3050_drdy_trigger_disable() via
pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() when the trigger is turned off again.
The buffer preenable/postdisable pair in this driver manages its
reference the same way for the buffer lifetime.

With a scoped guard the reference would be released as soon as
mpu3050_drdy_trigger_enable() returns, so the device could runtime
suspend while the data ready trigger is still armed, and the usage
counter would underflow when the disable path drops a reference
that the guard had already released.

So an acquire-here / release-elsewhere lifetime like this does not
seem to be expressible with the ACQUIRE() family. If you see a
formulation that fits, I'm happy to rework the patch onto it.

Best regards,
Xiangwu Lai
