Commit Message

Dinghao Liu June 21, 2020, 5:47 a.m. UTC
pm_runtime_get_sync() increments the runtime PM usage counter even
when it returns an error code. Thus a pairing decrement is needed on
the error handling path to keep the counter balanced.

Signed-off-by: Dinghao Liu <dinghao.liu@zju.edu.cn>

v2: - Merge two patches that fix runtime PM imbalance in
      tegra_adma_probe() and tegra_adma_alloc_chan_resources()
      respectively.

v3: - Use pm_runtime_put_noidle() instead of pm_runtime_put_sync()
      in tegra_adma_alloc_chan_resources().

v4: - Use pm_runtime_put_noidle() instead of pm_runtime_put_sync()
      in tegra_adma_probe().

So you have not mentioned here why you are using _noidle and not _put.
Furthermore, in this patch [0] you are not using _noidle to fix the same
problem in another driver. We should fix this in a consistent manner
across all drivers, otherwise it leads to more confusion.

Finally, Rafael mentions we should just use _put [0] and so I think we
should follow his recommendation.

Hi Jon,

More stirring in the cesspool ;-)

"_noidle() is the simplest one and it is sufficient."

You never know what additional things the other put* variants
will start doing in the future...

Ha! Indeed.

Good to know. This detail should be spelled out in the changelog so that
it is clear why we are using _noidle and not _put. I did take a look and
it did seem to handle the usage_count OK, but I was concerned if there
could be something else in the _put path that may get missed.

Anyway, I am fine with the change, but with an updated changelog on why
_noidle is being used.

> You never know what additional things the other put* variants

Hopefully not, as that would be a breakage of the API itself. From what
Rafael said that all _put calls should work and if at some point in the
future they don't, then that seems like a regression.
