In which case (rpm suspend) the flush_work is idle and this a noop.
That
you have to pass around such state suggests that you are papering
over a
bug?
In case of rpm suspend the flush_work may not be a NOOP.
Can use the flush_work for runtime suspend also but in spite of that
can't prevent the 'RPM wakelock' asserts, as the work item can get
executed after the rpm ref count drops to zero and before runtime
suspend kicks in (after autosuspend delay).

For that you had earlier suggested to use rpm get/put in the work item
function, around the register access, but with that had to remove the
flush_work from the suspend hook, otherwise a deadlock can happen.
So doing the flush_work conditionally for system suspend case, as rpm
get/put won't cause the resume of device in that case.

Actually I had discussed about this with Imre and as per his inputs
prepared this patch.

There would be this alternative:

Thanks much for suggesting the alternate approach.

Just to confirm whether I understood everything correctly,

in gen9_guc_irq_handler():
   WARN_ON(!intel_runtime_pm_get_if_in_use());
Used WARN, as we don't expect the device to be suspended at this
juncture, so intel_runtime_pm_get_if_in_use() should return true.

   if (!queue_work(log.flush_work))
If queue_work returns 0, then work item is already pending, so it won't
be queued hence can release the rpm ref count now only.
       intel_runtime_pm_put();


and dropping the reference at the end of the work item.
This will be just like the __intel_autoenable_gt_powersave

This would make the flush_work() a nop in case of runtime_suspend().
So can call the flush_work unconditionally.

Hope I understood it correctly.

Hi Imre,

You had suggested to use the below code from irq handler, suspecting that intel_runtime_pm_get_if_in_use() can return false, if interrupt gets handled just after device goes out of use.

	if (intel_runtime_pm_get_if_in_use()) {
		if (!queue_work(log.flush_work))
			intel_runtime_pm_put();
	}

Do you mean to say that interrupt can come when rpm suspend has already started but before the interrupt is disabled from the suspend hook ?
Like if interrupt comes b/w 1) & 4), then runtime_pm_get_if_in_use()
will return false.
1)	Autosuspend delay elapses (device is marked as suspending)
2)		intel_runtime_suspend
3)			intel_guc_suspend
4)				gen9_disable_guc_interrupts(dev_priv);

If the above hypothesis is correct, then it implies that interrupt has to come after autosuspend delay has elapsed for the above scenario to arise.

I think it would be unlikely for the interrupt to come so late because device would have gone idle just before the autosuspend period started and so no GuC submissions would have been done after that.
So the probability of missing a work item could be very less and we
can bear that.
