[PATCH 2/2] PM / sleep: don't suspend parent when async child suspend_{noirq,early} fails
From: Brian Norris
Date: Wed Oct 19 2016 - 20:27:14 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_early(), 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_early()
callback. This is bad.
We can resolve this problem by checking the async_error flag after
waiting for children to suspend, using the same logic for the noirq and
late suspend cases as we already do for __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.)

Tested mostly on 4.4, but the code (and seemingly the bug) is mostly untouched
since then. I can try to conjure up a proper upstream test if required.
