[PATCH v3] PM / sleep: don't suspend parent when async child suspend_{noirq,late} fails

From: Brian Norris
Date: Wed Nov 09 2016 - 20:21:30 EST


Consider two devices, A and B, where B is a child of A, and B utilizes
asynchronous suspend (it does not matter whether A is sync or async). If
B fails to suspend_noirq() or suspend_late(), or is interrupted by a
wakeup (pm_wakeup_pending()), then it aborts and sets the async_error
variable. However, device A does not (immediately) check the async_error
variable; it may continue to run its own suspend_noirq()/suspend_late()
callback. This is bad.

We can resolve this problem by doing our error and wakeup checking
(particularly, for the async_error flag) after waiting for children to
suspend, instead of before. This also helps align the logic for the noirq and
late suspend cases with the logic in __device_suspend().

It's easy to observe this erroneous behavior by, for example, forcing a
device to sleep a bit in its suspend_noirq() (to ensure the parent is
waiting for the child to complete), then return an error, and watch the
parent suspend_noirq() still get called. (Or similarly, fake a wakeup
event at the right (or is it wrong?) time.)

Fixes: 28b6fd6e3779 ("PM / sleep: Asynchronous threads for suspend_noirq")

v2: s/early/late/ in commit message

v3:
* drop patch 1, as the callback-printing is unrelated, semi-controversial, and
might break existing (but poor -- c'mon, since when do tools get to rely on
kernel messages?) tools
* do all error checking after dpm_wait_for_children() -- this helps make
things consistent and reduces duplication.
* drop Dmitry's Reviewed-by, since the patch changed enough
