Now, when the controller device goes to runtime suspend, PM framework
will check the runtime PM state of the child device (host bridge) and
will find it to be disabled. So it will allow the parent (controller
device) to go to runtime suspend. Only if the child device's state was
'active' it will prevent the parent to get suspended.
It is a property of the runtime PM framework that it can only
follow continuous dependency chains. That is, if there is a device
with runtime PM disabled in a dependency chain, runtime PM cannot be
enabled for devices below it and above it in that chain both at the
same time.
Since runtime PM is disabled for host bridge, the state of the child
devices under the host bridge is not taken into account by PM framework
for the top level parent, PCIe controller. So PM framework, allows
the controller driver to enter runtime PM irrespective of the state
of the devices under the host bridge. And this causes the topology
breakage and also possible PM issues like controller driver goes to
runtime suspend while endpoint driver is doing some transfers.
Because of the above, in order to enable runtime PM for a PCIe
controller device, one needs to ensure that runtime PM is enabled for
all devices in every dependency chain between it and any PCIe endpoint
(as runtime PM is enabled for PCIe endpoints).
This means that runtime PM needs to be enabled for the host bridge
device, which is present in all of these dependency chains.
Earlier I asked about how we can verify that no other drivers need a
change like the starfive one:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241012140852.GA603197@bhelgaas
Hi Bjorn,
I added those details in cover letter as you suggested to add them in
cover letter.
"PM framework expectes parent runtime pm enabled before enabling runtime
pm of the child. As PCIe starfive device is enabling runtime pm after
the pci_host_probe which enables runtime pm of the child device i.e for
the bridge device a warning is shown saying "pcie-starfive 940000000.pcie:
Enabling runtime PM for inactive device with active children" and also
shows possible circular locking dependency detected message.
As it is must to enable parent device's runtime PM before enabling child's
runtime pm as the pcie-starfive device runtime pm is enabled after child
runtime starfive device is seeing the warning.
In the first patch fix the pcie-starfive driver by enabling runtime
pm before calling pci_host_probe().
All other PCIe controller drivers are enabling runtime pm before
calling pci_host_probe() which is as expected so don't require any
fix like pcie-starfive driver."
I guess this sentence is basically how we verify all drivers are safe
with this change?
Since this patch adds devm_pm_runtime_enable() in pci_host_probe(),
can we expand this along the lines of this so it's more specific about
what we need to verify?
Every host bridge driver must call pm_runtime_enable() before
runtime PM is enabled by pci_host_probe().
Please correct me if that's not the right requirement.>
yes this is correct requirement only. Do you want us to add this for
this patch .

After this change, the host bridge device will be runtime-suspended
by the runtime PM framework automatically after suspending its last
child and it will be runtime-resumed automatically before resuming its
first child which will allow the runtime PM framework to track
dependencies between the host bridge device and all of its
descendants.
