[PATCH] slimbus: messaging: fix leaked PM vote on tid allocation failure

[PATCH] slimbus: messaging: fix leaked PM vote on tid allocation failure

[Zongmin Zhou]

From: Zongmin Zhou <zhouzongmin@kylinos.cn>

In slim_do_transfer(), when a transaction needs a tid and
slim_alloc_txn_tid() fails, the function returns directly instead of
jumping to slim_xfer_err. The runtime PM vote taken earlier with
pm_runtime_get_sync() is then never released, leaving the controller
permanently powered up.

As txn->tid is still 0 at that point, jumping to slim_xfer_err drops
the vote exactly like it is done for other failed transactions.

Patch itself looks fine, was this bug hit on real hardware or is this
generated from some AI.

How are you testing this patch?

Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for the review.

Found during code review while porting patches, not on real hardware.
The trigger requires an exhausted tid space, which is unlikely to occur
naturally.

Tested in a VM with a stub controller that exhausts the tid space
(255 allocations, SLIM_MAX_TIDS is 256) and then issues a need_tid
transfer, so slim_alloc_txn_tid() fails with -ENOSPC inside
slim_do_transfer():
   unpatched: slim_do_transfer() returns -ENOSPC, usage_count stays 1,
              device never suspends
   patched:   same return value, usage_count 0, device autosuspends

[PATCH v2] slimbus: messaging: fix leaked PM vote on tid allocation failure

In slim_do_transfer(), when a transaction needs a tid and
slim_alloc_txn_tid() fails, the function returns directly instead of
jumping to slim_xfer_err. The runtime PM vote taken earlier with
pm_runtime_get_sync() is then never released, leaving the controller
permanently powered up.

As txn->tid is still 0 at that point, jumping to slim_xfer_err drops
the vote exactly like it is done for other failed transactions.
