Subject: [PATCH] mailbox: mtk-cmdq: fix runtime PM usage counter leak in cmdq_mbox_flush
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 16:53:21 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823112321.2039-1-manushprajwal555@gmail.com> (raw)
cmdq_mbox_flush() calls pm_runtime_get_sync() and returns its error
code directly on failure. Per Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst,
pm_runtime_get_sync() does not drop the usage counter on error, so the
caller is expected to release the reference itself. The early return
here skips that, leaking a runtime PM usage count on cmdq->mbox.dev on
every failed resume.
Fix it by calling pm_runtime_put_noidle() before returning, matching
the pattern used by other pm_runtime_get_sync() callers in the same
subsystem (e.g. drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-tegra.c, drivers/gnss/sirf.c).
