A (IDLE)
/ \
B (SUSPENDED) C (SUSPENDED)
Suppose C is to be resumed. This means first in case of A the request
to suspend would be cancelled. Here you drop the locks:
+ && (dev->parent->power.runtime_status == RPM_IDLE
+ || dev->parent->power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDING
+ || dev->parent->power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDED)) {
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->power.lock, flags);
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->parent->power.lock, parent_flags);
+
+ /* We have to resume the parent first. */
+ pm_request_resume(dev->parent);
But after pm_request_resume() returns there's no means to make sure
nothing alters it back to RPM_SUSPENDED. The workqueue doesn't help
you because you've scheduled nothing by that time. The suspension will
work because C is still in RPM_SUSPENDED.
