And how exactly are we going to check if pm_request_resume() was successful?

We'd have to be able to do that in a code path different from the one that has
called pm_request_resume().

I forgot about that, so it is not done in the patch below.

BTW, is it just me, or are we overcomplicating that thing beyond any
reasonable limit?

I think I'll just do the device_for_each_child() for now, because IMO this
optimization isn't just worth complications resulting from it, because,
realistically, how many children is a parent going to have in a notmal system?

I don't think it's possible.

OK there, but pm_runtime_disable() is called by the core in some places where
we'd rather not want the device to be suspended (like during a system-wide
power transitions).

I think that functionality can be added later.  Let's keep things as simple
as possible initially, or we won't be able to make any progress.

Below is a new version of the patch.  Unfortunately, it is a major rework.
In short, I tried to address some of your recent comments and my observations.
It doesn't use depth any more, there's another counter (called resume_count)
instead, also playing the role of the RPM_GRACE bit from the previous version.

I've just finished it, so it may be still missing something apart from the
updating child_count on removal of an unsuspended child.

Best,
Rafael

Subject: PM: Introduce core framework for run-time PM of I/O devices (rev. 2)

Introduce a core framework for run-time power management of I/O
devices.  Add device run-time PM fields to 'struct dev_pm_info'
and device run-time PM callbacks to 'struct dev_pm_ops'.  Introduce
a run-time PM workqueue and define some device run-time PM helper
functions at the core level.  Document all these things.

+Run-time Power Management Framework for I/O Devices
+
+(C) 2009 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>, Novell Inc.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+Support for run-time power management (run-time PM) of I/O devices is provided
+at the power management core (PM core) level by means of:
+
+* The power management workqueue pm_wq in which bus types and device drivers can
+  put their PM-related work items.  It is strongly recommended that pm_wq be
+  used for queuing all work items related to run-time PM, because this allows
+  them to be synchronized with system-wide power transitions.  pm_wq is declared
+  in include/linux/pm_runtime.h and defined in kernel/power/main.c.
+
+* A number of run-time PM fields in the 'power' member of 'struct device' (which
+  is of the type 'struct dev_pm_info', defined in include/linux/pm.h) that can
+  be used for synchronizing run-time PM operations with one another.
+
+* Three device run-time PM callbacks in 'struct dev_pm_ops' (defined in
+  include/linux/pm.h).
+
+* A set of helper functions defined in drivers/base/power/runtime.c that can be
+  used for carrying out run-time PM operations in such a way that the
+  synchronization between them is taken care of by the PM core.  Bus types and
+  device drivers are encouraged to use these functions.
+
+The device run-time PM fields of 'struct dev_pm_info', the helper functions
+using them and the run-time PM callbacks present in 'struct dev_pm_ops' are
+described below.
+
+2. Run-time PM Helper Functions and Device Fields
+
+The following helper functions are defined in drivers/base/power/runtime.c
+and include/linux/pm_runtime.h:
+
+* void pm_runtime_init(struct device *dev);
+
+* int pm_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev);
+* void pm_request_suspend(struct device *dev, unsigned int msec);
+* int pm_runtime_resume(struct device *dev);
+* int pm_runtime_resume_get(struct device *dev);
+* void pm_request_resume(struct device *dev);
+* void pm_runtime_put(struct device *dev);
+
+* bool pm_suspend_possible(struct device *dev);
+
+* void pm_runtime_enable(struct device *dev);
+* void pm_runtime_disable(struct device *dev);
+
+* void pm_suspend_ignore_children(struct device *dev, bool enable);
+
+* void pm_runtime_clear_active(struct device *dev) {}
+* void pm_runtime_clear_suspended(struct device *dev) {}
+
+pm_runtime_init() initializes the run-time PM fields in the 'power' member of
+a device object.  It is called during the initialization of the device object,
+in drivers/base/power/main.c:device_pm_add().
+
+pm_runtime_suspend(), pm_request_suspend(), pm_runtime_resume(),
+pm_runtime_resume_get(), pm_request_resume(), and pm_request_resume_get()
+use the 'power.runtime_status', 'power.resume_count', 'power.suspend_aborted',
+and 'power.child_count' fields of 'struct device' for mutual cooperation.  In
+what follows the 'power.runtime_status', 'power.resume_count', and
+'power.child_count' fields are referred to as the device's run-time PM status,
+the device's resume counter, and the counter of unsuspended children of the
+device, respectively.  They are set to RPM_ACTIVE, 1 and 0, respectively, by
+pm_runtime_init().
+
+pm_runtime_suspend() is used to carry out a run-time suspend of an active
+device.  It is called directly by a bus type or device driver.  There also is
+an asynchronous version of it, which is executed by the PM core to complete a
+request queued up by pm_request_suspend().  However, the only difference between
+them is the handling of situations in which a queued up suspend request has just
+been cancelled.  Apart from this, they work in the same way.
+
+  * If the device is suspended (i.e. the RPM_SUSPENDED bit is set in the
+    device's run-time PM status field, 'power.runtime_status'), success is
+    returned.
+
+  * If the device is about to resume (i.e. at least one of the RPM_WAKE and
+    RPM_RESUMING bits are set in its run-time PM status field) or its resume
+    counter is greater than 0, or the function has been called via pm_wq as a
+    result of a cancelled suspend request (the 'power.suspend_aborted' field is
+    used to signal the termination of a suspend request), -EAGAIN is returned.
+
+  * If the device is suspending (i.e. its run-time PM status is RPM_SUSPENDING),
+    which means that another instance of pm_runtime_suspend() is running at the
+    same time for the same device, the function waits for the other instance to
+    complete and returns the error code (or success) returned by it.
+
+  * If the device has a pending suspend request (i.e. the RPM_IDLE bit is set in
+    its run-time PM status) and the function hasn't been called as a result of
+    that request, it cancels the request and restarts itself in case another
+    suspend is running in parallel with it.
+
+  * If the children of the device are not suspended and the
+    'power.ignore_children' flag is not set for it, the device's run-time PM
+    status is set to RPM_ACTIVE and -EAGAIN is returned.
+
+If none of the above takes place, the device's run-time PM status is set to
+RPM_SUSPENDING and its bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback is executed.
+This callback is responsible for handling the device as appropriate (for
+example, it may choose to execute the device driver's ->runtime_suspend()
+callback or to carry out any other suitable action depending on the bus type).
+
+  * If it completes successfully, the RPM_SUSPENDING bit is cleared and the
+    RPM_SUSPENDED bit is set in the device's run-time PM status field.  Once
+    that has happened, the device is regarded by the PM core as suspended, but
+    it _need_ _not_ mean that the device has been put into a low power state.
+    What really occurs to the device at this point totally depends on its bus
+    type (it may depend on the device's driver if the bus type chooses to call
+    it).  Additionally, if the device bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback
+    completes successfully and there's no resume request pending for the device
+    (i.e. the RPM_WAKE flag is not set in its run-time PM status field), and the
+    device has a parent, the parent's counter of unsuspended children (i.e. the
+    'power.child_count' field) is decremented.  Next, if it turns out to be
+    equal to zero (i.e. all children of the device's parent have been suspended)
+    or the parent has the 'power.ignore_children' flag set, the parent's bus
+    type's ->runtime_idle() callback is executed.
+
+  * If either -EBUSY or -EAGAIN is returned, the device's run-time PM status is
+    set to RPM_ACTIVE.
+
+  * If another error code is returned, the device's run-time PM status is set to
+    RPM_ERROR, which makes the PM core refuse to carry out any run-time PM
+    operations for it until the status is cleared by its bus type or driver with
+    the help of pm_runtime_clear_active() or pm_runtime_clear_suspended().
+
+Finally, pm_runtime_suspend() returns the error code (or success) returned by
+the device bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback.  If the device's bus type
+doesn't implement ->runtime_suspend(), -EINVAL is returned and the device's
+run-time PM status is set to RPM_ERROR.
+
+pm_request_suspend() is used to queue up a suspend request for an active device.
+If the run-time PM status of the device (i.e. the value of the
+'power.runtime_status' field in 'struct device') is different from RPM_ACTIVE
+(i.e. the device is not active from the PM core standpoint), the function
+returns immediately.  Otherwise, it changes the device's run-time PM status to
+RPM_IDLE and puts a request to suspend the device into pm_wq.  The 'msec'
+argument is used to specify the time to wait before the request will be
+completed, in milliseconds.  It is valid to call this function from interrupt
+context.
+
+pm_runtime_resume() and pm_runtime_resume_get() are used to carry out a
+run-time resume of a device that is suspended, suspending or has a suspend
+request pending.  They are called directly by a bus type or device driver.
+The difference between them is that pm_request_resume_get() increments the
+device's resume counter, which prevents the PM core from suspending the device
+or queuing up a suspend request for it until its resume counter is decreased
+down to 0 with the help of pm_runtime_put().  Apart from this, they work in the
+same way.  There also is an asynchronous version of pm_runtime_resume(), called
+by the PM core as a result of a resume request queued up by pm_request_resume(),
+which doesn't check if there's a concurrent pending resume request for the
+device.
+
+  * If the device is active (i.e. all of the bits in its run-time PM status are
+    unset), success is returned (pm_request_resume_get() increments the device's
+    resume counter in that case).
+
+  * If there's a suspend request pending for the device (i.e. the device's
+    run-time PM status is RPM_IDLE), it is cancelled, the
+    'power.suspend_aborted' flag is set for the device, the RPM_IDLE bit is
+    cleared in its run-time PM status field and the function restarts itself.
+
+  * If the device has a pending resume request (i.e. the RPM_WAKE bit is set in
+    its run-time PM status field), but the function hasn't been called as a
+    result of that request, the function waits for that request to complete
+    (in case it's going to increment the device's resume counter) and restarts
+    itself.
+
+  * If the device is suspending (i.e. the RPM_SUSPENDING bit is set in its
+    run-time PM status field), the function waits for the suspend operation to
+    complete and restarts itself.
+
+  * If the device is suspended and doesn't have a pending resume request (i.e.
+    its run-time PM status is RPM_SUSPENDED), and it has a parent that is not
+    active (i.e. the parent's run-time PM status is not RPM_ACTIVE),
+    pm_runtime_resume_get() is called (recursively) for the parent.  If the
+    parent's resume is successful, the function notes that the parent's resume
+    counter will have to be decremented and restarts itself.  Otherwise, it
+    returns the error code returned by the instance of pm_runtime_resume_get()
+    handling the device's parent.
+
+  * If the device is resuming (i.e. the device's run-time PM status is
+    RPM_RESUMING), which means that another instance of pm_runtime_resume() or
+    pm_runtime_resume_get() is running at the same time for the same device, the
+    function waits for the other instance to complete and returns the result
+    returned by it (pm_runtime_resume_get() increments the device's resume
+    counter if success is returned).
+
+If none of the above happens, the function checks if the device's run-time PM
+status is RPM_SUSPENDED, which means that the device doesn't have a resume
+request pending, and if it has a parent.  If that is the case, the parent's
+counter of unsuspended children is increased.  Next, the device's run-time PM
+status is set to RPM_RESUMING and its bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback is
+executed.  This callback is entirely responsible for handling the device as
+appropriate (for example, it may choose to execute the device driver's
+->runtime_resume() callback or to carry out any other suitable action depending
+on the bus type).
+
+  * If it completes successfully, the device's run-time PM status is set to
+    RPM_ACTIVE, which means that the device is fully operational.  Thus, the
+    device bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback, when it is about to return
+    success, _must_ _ensure_ that this really is the case (i.e. when it returns
+    success, the device _must_ be able to carry out I/O operations as needed).
+
+  * If an error code is returned, the device's run-time PM status is set to
+    RPM_ERROR, which makes the PM core refuse to carry out any run-time PM
+    operations for the device until the status is cleared by its bus type or
+    driver with the help of either pm_runtime_clear_active(), or
+    pm_runtime_clear_suspended().  Thus, it is strongly recommended that the
+    device bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback only return error codes in
+    fatal error conditions, when it is impossible to bring the device back to
+    the operational state by any available means.  Inability to wake up a
+    suspended device usually means a service loss and it may very well result in
+    a data loss to the user, so it _must_ be avoided if at all possible.
+
+Finally, pm_runtime_resume() and pm_runtime_resume_get() return the error code
+(or success) returned by the device bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback
+(pm_runtime_resume_get() increments the device's resume counter if success is
+returned).  If the device's bus type doesn't implement ->runtime_resume(),
+-EINVAL is returned and the device's run-time PM status is set to RPM_ERROR.
+
+pm_request_resume() is used to queue up a resume request for a device that is
+suspended, suspending or has a suspend request pending.
+
+  * If the device has a resume request pending (i.e. the RPM_WAKE bit is set in
+    its run-time PM status field) or the device is not suspended or suspending
+    (i.e. none of the RPM_SUSPENDED and RPM_SUSPENDING bits is set in its
+    run-time PM status field), the function returns.
+
+  * If the device has a parent and the parent is inactive (i.e. at least one of
+    the RPM_IDLE, RPM_SUSPENDING, and RPM_SUSPENDED bits is set in its run-time
+    PM status field), and the parent doesn't have a resume request pending
+    (i.e. the RPM_WAKE bit is not set in the parent's run-time PM status field),
+    a resume request is scheduled for the parent with the help of
+    pm_request_resume() (i.e. recursively) and the function is restarted.
+
+If none of the above happens, the function checks if the device's run-time PM
+status is RPM_SUSPENDED, which means that the device is not suspending at the
+moment, and if it has a parent.  If that is the case, the parent's counter of
+unsuspended children is increased.  Next, the RPM_WAKE bit is set in the
+device's run-time PM status field and the request to execute the asynchronous
+version of pm_runtime_resume() is put into pm_wq.  It is valid to call this
+function from interrupt context.
+
+Note that it is possible to have a resume request and a suspend request queued
+up at the same time.  In that case, if the suspend request is attempted to
+complete first, the asynchronous version of pm_runtime_suspend() run as a result
+of it will notice that the RPM_WAKE bit is set in the device's run-time PM
+status field and will return -EAGAIN as a result without doing anything else.
+Then, the subsequent resume carried out as a result of the queued up request
+will notice that the RPM_IDLE bit is set in the device's run-time PM status
+field, so it will try to cancel the suspend request and the run-time PM status
+of the device will be set to RPM_ACTIVE.  On the other hand, if the resume
+request is attempted to complete first, which is more likely, it will cancel the
+pending suspend request the run-time PM status of the device will be set to
+RPM_ACTIVE.
+
+pm_runtime_put() is used to decrease the device's resume counter by 1.  If the
+resume counter of the device is greater than 0, it causes the PM core to refuse
+to suspend the device or to queue up a suspend request for it.  In particular,
+it causes pm_runtime_suspend() to return -EAGAIN without doing anything else.
+This may be useful if the device is resumed for a specific task and it shouldn't
+be suspended until the task is complete, but there are many potential sources of
+suspend requests that could disturb it.  It is valid to call this function from
+interrupt context.
+
+pm_suspend_possible() is used to check if the device may be suspended at this
+particular moment.  It checks the device's run-time PM status, resume counter,
+and the counter of unsuspended children.  It returns 'false' if the device's
+counter of unsuspended children is greater than 0 or the device's resume counter
+is greater than 0, or at least one of the RPM_WAKE and RPM_RESUMING bits is set
+in its run-time PM status field.  It is valid to call this function from
+interrupt context.
+
+pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_disable() are used to enable and disable,
+respectively, all of the run-time PM core operations.  They do it by decreasing
+and increasing, respectively, the device's resume counter, but
+pm_runtime_disable() additionally calls pm_runtime_resume() for the device to
+make sure that the device will not be suspended while its run-time power
+management is disabled.  Therefore, if pm_runtime_disable() is called several
+times in a row for the same device, it has to be balanced by the appropriate
+number of pm_runtime_enable() calls so that the other run-time PM core functions
+can be used for that device.  The initial value of the device's resume counter,
+as set by pm_runtime_init(), is 1 (i.e. the device's run-time power management
+is initially disabled).
+
+pm_runtime_disable() and pm_runtime_enable() are used by the device core to
+disable the run-time power management of devices temporarily during device probe
+and removal as well as during system-wide power transitions (i.e. system-wide
+suspend or hibernation, or resume from a system sleep state).
+
+pm_suspend_ignore_children() is used to set or unset the
+'power.ignore_children' flag in 'struct device'.  If the 'enabled'
+argument is 'true', the field is set to 1, and if 'enable' is 'false', the field
+is set to 0.  The default value of 'power.ignore_children', as set by
+pm_runtime_init(), is 0.
+
+pm_runtime_clear_active() is used to change the device's run-time PM status
+field from RPM_ERROR to RPM_ACTIVE.  It is valid to call this function from
+interrupt context.
+
+pm_runtime_clear_suspended() is used to change the device's run-time PM status
+field from RPM_ERROR to RPM_SUSPENDED.  If the device has a parent, it the
+function additionally decrements the parent's counter of unsuspended children.
+It is valid to call this function from interrupt context.
+
+3. Device Run-time PM Callbacks
+
+There are three device run-time PM callbacks defined in 'struct dev_pm_ops':
+
+struct dev_pm_ops {
+	...
+	int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev);
+	int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev);
+	void (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev);
+	...
+};
+
+The ->runtime_suspend() callback is executed by pm_runtime_suspend() for the bus
+type of the device being suspended.  The bus type's callback is then _fully_
+_responsible_ for handling the device as appropriate, which may, but need not
+include executing the device driver's ->runtime_suspend() callback (from the PM
+core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_suspend()
+callback in a device driver as long as the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() knows
+what to do to handle the device).
+* Once the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback has returned successfully,
+  the PM core regards the device as suspended, which need not mean that the
+  device has been put into a low power state.  It is supposed to mean, however,
+  that the device will not communicate with the CPU(s) and RAM until the bus
+  type's ->runtime_resume() callback is executed for it.
+* If the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback returns -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the
+  device's run-time PM status is set to RPM_ACTIVE, which means that the device
+  _must_ be fully operational one this has happened.
+* If the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback returns an error code different
+  from -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the PM core regards this as an unrecoverable error and
+  will refuse to run the helper functions described in Section 1 until the
+  status is changed to either RPM_SUSPENDED or RPM_ACTIVE by the device's bus
+  type or driver.
+In particular, it is recommended that ->runtime_suspend() return -EBUSY or
+-EAGAIN if device_may_wakeup() returns 'false' for the device.  On the other
+hand, if device_may_wakeup() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put
+into a low power state during the execution of ->runtime_suspend(), it is
+expected that remote wake-up (i.e. hardware mechanism allowing the device to
+request a change of its power state, such as PCI PME) will be enabled for the
+device.  Generally, remote wake-up should be enabled whenever the device is put
+into a low power state at run time and is expected to receive input from the
+outside of the system.
+
+The ->runtime_resume() callback is executed by pm_runtime_resume() for the bus
+type of the device being woken up.  The bus type's callback is then _fully_
+_responsible_ for handling the device as appropriate, which may, but need not
+include executing the device driver's ->runtime_resume() callback (from the PM
+core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_resume()
+callback in a device driver as long as the bus type's ->runtime_resume() knows
+what to do to handle the device).
+* Once the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback has returned successfully,
+  the PM core regards the device as fully operational, which means that the
+  device _must_ be able to complete I/O operations as needed.
+* If the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback returns -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the
+  device's run-time PM status is set to RPM_SUSPENDED, which is supposed to mean
+  that the device will not communicate with the CPU(s) and RAM until the bus
+  type's ->runtime_resume() callback is executed for it.
+* If the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback returns an error code different
+  from -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the PM core regards this as an unrecoverable error and
+  will refuse to run the helper functions described in Section 1 until the
+  status is changed to either RPM_SUSPENDED or RPM_ACTIVE by the device's bus
+  type or driver.
+
+The ->runtime_idle() callback is executed by pm_runtime_suspend() for the bus
+type of a device the children of which are all suspended (or which has the
+'power.suspend_skip_children' flag set).  The action carried out by this
+callback is totally dependent on the bus type in question, but the expected
+action is to check if the device can be suspended (i.e. if all of the conditions
+necessary for suspending the device are met) and to queue up a suspend request
+for the device if that is the case.
