Re: [PATCH v1] PM-runtime: Check supplier_preactivated before release supplier

[Nitin Rawat <quic_nitirawa@quicinc.com>]

Hi Peter/Rafael,
We are also observed similiar issue on our platform. Looks like there is 
a race condition(explained below) which cause consumer to resume w/o 
bumping up the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter.

Process 1 (ufshcd_async_scan context)
ufshcd_async_scan()
     scsi_probe_and_add_lun
         scsi_add_lun
             slave_configure    -> enable rpm
                 scsi_sysfs_add_sdev
                     scsi_autopm_get_device
                         device_add     <- invoked sd_probe in process 2
                             scsi_autopm_put_device

Process 2 (sd_probe context)
driver_probe_device
__device_attach_async_helper
     __device_attach_driver
         driver_probe_device
             __driver_probe_device
                 sd_probe
                     scsi_autopm_get_device



Race condition for dev->power.runtime_status for consumer dev 0:0:0:0 
can happen as below in rpm framework

ufshcd_async_scan context (process 1)
scsi_autopm_put_device() //0:0:0:0
	pm_runtime_put_sync()
	__pm_runtime_idle()
	rpm_idle()
	__rpm_callback()
		scsi_runtime_idle()
			pm_runtime_mark_last_busy()
			pm_runtime_autosuspend()
				__pm_runtime_suspend(RPM_AUTO)
				rpm_suspend(RPM_AUTO)
					status = RPM_SUSPENDING
					scsi_runtime_suspend()
						__rpm_callback()
					status = RPM_SUSPENDED------>1
					rpm_suspend_suppliers()
			return -EBUSY

		(use_links)&&(dev->power.runtime_status == RPM_RESUMING && 
retval)------->3
		__rpm_put_suppliers()





sd_probe context (Process 2)
scsi_autopm_get_device() //0:0:0:0
     __pm_runtime_resume(RPM_GET_PUT)
     rpm_resume
      	status = RPM_RESUMING----->2



After power.runtime_status of consumer 0:0:0:0 was changed to 
RPM_SUSPENDED and before scsi_runtime_idle retval was -16(EBUSY) to 
__rpm_callback, power.runtime_status of consumer 0:0:0:0 was changed to 
RPM_RESUMING and hence condition 3 became true and __rpm_put_suppliers 
was called and hence consumer resumed with decremented usage_count due 
to this race condition.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Regards,
Nitin
