The smmu device probe/remove and add/remove master device callbacks
gets called when the smmu is not linked to its master, that is without
the context of the master device. So calling runtime apis in those places
separately.

Can we not automatically infer this from whether clocks and/or power domains
are specified or not, then just use pm_runtime_enabled() as the fast-path
check as Tomasz originally proposed?

I wouldn't tie this to presence of clocks, since as a next step we
would want to actually control the clocks separately. (As far as I
understand, on QCom SoCs we might want to have runtime PM active for
the translation to work, but clocks gated whenever access to SMMU
registers is not needed.) Moreover, you might still have some super
high scale thousand-core systems that require clocks to be
prepare-enabled, but runtime PM would be undesirable for the reasons
we discussed before.


I worry that relying on statically-defined matchdata is just going to blow
up the driver and DT binding into a maintenance nightmare; I really don't
want to start needing separate definitions for e.g. "arm,juno-etr-mmu-401"
and "arm,juno-hdlcd-mmu-401" just because one otherwise-identical instance
within the SoC is in a separate controllable power domain while the others
aren't.

I don't see a reason why both couldn't just have RPM supported
regardless of whether there is a real power domain. It would
effectively be just a no-op for those that don't have one.

Because you're then effectively defining "compatible" values for the sake of attaching software policy to them, rather than actually describing different hardware implementations.

The fact that RPM can't do anything meaningful unless relevant clock/power aspects *are* described, however, means that we shouldn't need additional information redundant with that. Much like the fact that we don't *already* have an "arm,juno-hdlcd-mmu-401" compatible to account for those being integrated such that IDR0.CTTW has the wrong value, since the presence or not of the "dma-coherent" property already describes the truth in that regard.

IMHO the
only reason to avoid having the RPM enabled is the scalability issue
we discussed before.

Yes, but that's kind of my point; in reality high throughput/minimal latency and aggressive power management are more or less mutually exclusive. Mobile SoCs with fine-grained clock trees and power domains won't have multiple 40GBe/NVMf/whatever links running flat out in parallel; conversely networking/infrastructure/server SoCs aren't designed around saving every last microamp of leakage current - even in the (fairly unlikely) case of the interconnect clocks being software-gateable at all I would be very surprised if that were ever exposed directly to Linux (FWIW I believe ACPI essentially *requires* clocks to be abstracted behind firmware).

Realistically then, explicit clocks are only expected on systems which care about power management. We can always revisit that assumption if anything crazy where it isn't the case ever becomes non-theoretical, but for now it's one I'm entirely comfortable with. If on the other hand it turns out that we can rely on just a power domain being present wherever we want RPM, making clocks moot, then all the better.

Robin.
