The Haswell codec set_power_state ops (intel_haswell_set_power_state) will
only wait if this is a delayed resume and clear this flag after waiting. And
actually, there is no waiting even in this case. Because when 1st user operation
after system resume happens, Gfx already finishes resuming and audio
initialization, so as long as intel_haswell_wait_ready_to_resume() enable the
unsol event, the unsol event comes and so so waiting finishes. The 300ms time
out is set for safety consideration in case unsol event is lost. I've not observed
any unsol event lost till now.

As for the timeout, I suggest you use the codec->bus->workq instead of
creating a new workq. I think that will also give us some serialisation, i e,
protection against race conditions if the timeout happen at the same time as
the unsol event.

Hi David,

The new added "resume_wq" for hdmi codec is a wait queue, not a work queue like codec->bus->workq.
It's expected to wake up as soon as the unsol event is got.

Sure; but I don't see why you need a wait queue for that? Why don't you
just call the resume path from the unsol event handler
(hdmi_present_sense, or its caller), and then also cancel the timeout
handler (which can then be in the normal workq)?

Because the delayed resume actually fakes as if the resume is done.
This is necessary not to block other device's resume operation.

Since it looks as if ready, user-space might restart things soon again
before the delayed resume is really finished.  So, some serialization
is required there.

Lin, would it be possible to add some chain of events description to the bug commit? The different contexts are just boggling my mind :-)

Assume we have two cases, system idle after S3 and immediate playback after S3.

Is this correct:

System idle:
 1. System skips hda_call_codec_resume and sets codec->resume_delayed.
2. Since the codec is not reinitialized, nothing powers up the codec, so this is all that happens. 3. Since unsol events are not enabled (?), we have a bug that jack detection does not work and cannot be detected from userspace...?

Immediate playback:
 1. System skips hda_call_codec_resume and sets codec->resume_delayed.
2. Process context wants to start playback, which powers up the codec and calls intel_haswell_set_power_state. 3. intel_haswell_wait_ready_to_resume enables unsol events and starts to wait on ready_to_resume 4. Gfx init finishes, and workq context fires the unsol event, which calls hdmi_intrinsic_event, which triggers the resume_wq. 5. Process context and workq context now continues in parallel, potentially (but hopefully not) leading to race conditions?
