Hi Mathias,


Hi

Sorry about the long review delay
CC Alan in case my pm assumptions need to be corrected

To me this looks like we are not really enabling runtime pm for xhci, we
increment the
usage count in probe, and keep it until remove is called.

This would normally prevent parent dwc3 from runtime suspending, but I see
that in patch 2/2 adds
pm_suspend_ignore_children(dev, true) to dwc3, and, that dwc3 actually
controls xhci runtime
pm by calling pm_runtime_get/put for xhci in its own dwc3
runtime_suspend/resume callbacks.

Looks a bit upside down to me, what's the reason for this?

what prevents calling pm_runtime_put_* before leaving probe in xhci and let
pm code handle
the runtime suspend and parent/child relationships?

When dwc3 controller is working on host mode, which will create and
add the USB hcd for host side. Then if we want to suspend dwc3
controller as host mode, the USB device (bus) of host side will
runtime suspend automatically if there are no slave attached (by
usb_runtime_suspend()--->usb_suspend_both()--->usb_suspend_interface()--->usb_suspend_device()--->generic_suspend()--->hcd_bus_suspend()--->xhci_bus_suspend()),
but we should not suspend xHCI device (issuing xhci_suspend()) now,
since some other controllers did not implement the runtime PM to
control xHCI device's runtime state, which will cause other
controllers can not resume xHCI device (issuing xhci_resume()) if the
xHCI device suspend automatically by its child device. Thus we should
get the runtime count for xHCI device in xhci_plat_probe() in case
xHCI device will also suspend automatically by its child device.
According to that, for xHCI device's parent: dwc3 device, we should
put the xHCI device's runtime count to suspend xHCI device manually.


Any more comments?


I think I at least partially understand your point. You don't want to enable
runtime suspend for all xhci platform devices by default, but only for the ones
that are part of dwc3.

The implementation you suggest is that xhci platform driver always increase the xhci platform
device usage counter during probe with pm_runtime_get_noresume(), and never decrement it,
preventing xhci platform devices from runtime suspending by themselves.

You then control xhci runtime suspend from dwc3 driver runtime suspend, allowing
xhci platfrom controller to runtime suspend only when dwc3 runtime suspends by decrementing xhci
platform device usage in dwc3 runtime suspend callback.
As xhci is a child of dwc3 in this case, dwc3 would never runtime suspend as long as xhci is running, so
dwc3 needed to be detached from xhci by setting dwc3 to ignore its children to get it to work.

I don't yet understand why we can't just keep runtime pm disabled as a default for xhci platform devices.
It could be enabled by whatever creates the platform device by setting some device property
(or equivalent), which would be checked in xhci_plat_probe() before enabling runtime pm. It
could then optionally be set in sysfs via power/control entry.

We would keep the usage counting intact, and only enable xhci platform device runtime pm
if the platform supports it, and dwc3 and xhci would keep their parent-child relationship
intact and make sure dwc3 can't runtime suspend before xhci.

To the concerns about xhci runtime suspending too early, the codepath you describet only applies
for roothub devices, which sohuld be called only after other devices have suspended.

To make sure xhci platform device does not runtime suspend during probe after first
hcd is added (without children), but before second one, make sure to increase the usage count before creating and adding
both hcd's, and only decrease it after both are ready.

This way it will only runtime suspend after both buses are created.

xhci_plat_probe(pdev)
/* prevent platform device runtime suspend between adding main and shared_hcd */
pm_runtime_get_noresume(&pdev->dev)
usb_create_hcd()
usb_create_shared_hcd()
usb_add_hcd(hcd)
usb_add_hcd(shared_hcd)
/* both hcs's added, allow platform device to runtime suspend */
pm_runtime_put_noidle(&dev->dev);
