A deadlock has been seen when swicthing clocksources which use PM runtime. The call path is: change_clocksource ... write_seqcount_begin ... timekeeping_update ... sh_cmt_clocksource_enable ... rpm_resume pm_runtime_mark_last_busy ktime_get do read_seqcount_begin while read_seqcount_retry .... write_seqcount_end Although we should be safe because we haven't yet changed the clocksource at that time, we can't because of seqcount protection. Use ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() instead which is lock safe for such case With ktime_get_mono_fast_ns, the timestamp is not guaranteed to be monotonic across an update and as a result can goes backward. According to update_fast_timekeeper() description: "In the worst case, this can result is a slightly wrong timestamp (a few nanoseconds)". For PM runtime autosuspend, this means only that the suspend decision can be slightly sub optimal.
