Hi Rafael,

I have the same idea with you. But I still don't know how it could happen.

It is upstream ufs driver in scsi system. Here is call flow
do_scan_async (process 1)
     do_scsi_scan_host
         scsi_scan_host_selected
             scsi_scan_channel
                 __scsi_scan_target
                     scsi_probe_and_add_lun
                         scsi_alloc_sdev
                             slave_alloc     -> setup link
                         scsi_add_lun
                             slave_configure    -> enable rpm
                             scsi_sysfs_add_sdev
                                 scsi_autopm_get_device    <- get runtime pm
                                 device_add                <- invoke 
sd_probe in process 2
                                 scsi_autopm_put_device    <- put 
runtime pm, point 1

driver_probe_device (process 2)
     __driver_probe_device
         pm_runtime_get_suppliers
             really_probe
                 sd_probe
                     scsi_autopm_get_device                <- get 
runtime pm, point 2
                     pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay    <- set rpm 
delay to 2s
                     scsi_autopm_put_device                <- put 
runtime pm
         pm_runtime_put_suppliers                        <- 
(link->rpm_active = 1)

After process 1 call scsi_autopm_put_device(point 1) let consumer enter 
suspend,
process 2 call scsi_autopm_get_device(point 2) may have chance resume 
consumer but not
bump up the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter as appropriate.

Thanks.
