Suggested rephrasing: For example, if the device is behind a link
which is about to be turned off, the device may remain at full power.
But if the device does go to low power and if device_may_wakeup(dev)
is true, enable remote wakeup.

This won't work very well when assigned to an unsigned 6-bit field.

Since each of these is used only once, it would be better not to
define them as macros. Use the parenthesized expression instead; this
will be easier for readers to understand.

Return only if new_status == RPM_SUSPENDED. Is this routine ever
called with status equal to anything other than RPM_ERROR?

Instead of a costly device_for_each_child(), would it be better to
maintain a counter with the number of unsuspended children?

Should this test be made inside the scope of the spinlock?
For that matter, should power.depth always be set within the spinlock?
If it is then it doesn't need to be an atomic_t.

Should be spin_lock_irq(). Same in other places.

In the sync case, it might be better to wait until the ongoing resume
(or resume grace period) is finished and then do the suspend.
Of course, this depends on the context in which the synchronous
runtime suspend is carried out. Right now, the only such context I
know of is when the user tells the system to force a USB device into a
suspended state.

-EBUSY would be more appropriate.

This looks strange. Aren't we guaranteed at this point that the

Here's where you want to increment the parent's depth. Figuring out
where to decrement it again isn't easy, given the way this routine is
structured.

Need to reset error to -EINVAL.

What if the parent's state is RPM_SUSPENDING? Won't this go into a
tight loop? You need to test the parent's WAKEUP bit above.

In your code, pm_runtime_disable() doesn't actually do a resume. So if
a driver wants to make sure a device is at full power and stays that
way, it has to call:
pm_runtime_resume(dev);
pm_runtime_disable(dev);
This is a race; another thread might suspend the device in between.
It would make more sense to have have pm_runtime_resume() function
normally even when depth > 0. Then the calls could be made in the
opposite order and there wouldn't be a race.
The equivalent code in USB does this automatically. The
runtime-disable routine does a resume if the depth value was
originally 0, and the runtime-enable routine queues a delayed
autosuspend request if the final depth value is 0.

Strictly speaking, they use those fields for mutual cooperation. It's
the power.lock field which provides synchronization.

Blank lines surrounding the *-ed paragraphs would make this more

Is RPM_GRACE really needed? Can't we accomplish more or less the same
thing by using the autosuspend delay combined with the depth counter?
