It should be ret < 0 as ret = 1 corresponds to RPM_ACTIVE and the API does not call put() when ret = 1; see [1] and [2] [1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc6/source/drivers/base/power/runtime.c#L778 [2] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc6/source/include/linux/pm_runtime.h#L431 Another question, pm_runtime_put [3] can also return error, don't we need to propagate that as well to caller??
