In the runtime suspend path, the runtime PM core calls device_links_read_lock() - if the device in question has any links to suppliers (to allow them to be suspended too). device_links_read_lock() calls srcu_read_lock(). It turns out that the device in question (the CPU device that is attached to genpd) didn't have any links before - but that seems to have changed, due to the work done by Saravana (links become created on a per resource basis, parsed from DT during boot). > > Note also that Peter Zijlstra (CCed) is working to shrink the portion > of the idle loop that RCU ignores.

Apologize for my ignorance, but from a cpuidle point of view, what does it mean using RCU_NONIDLE()? I guess we should avoid RCU_NONIDLE on bigger code paths? I could add RCU_NONIDLE for the calls to pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() and pm_runtime_get_sync() in psci_enter_domain_idle_state(). Perhaps that's the easiest approach, at least to start with. Or do you have any other ideas? [...] Kind regards Uffe
