There are two problems with dev_err() here. One: It is not ratelimited. Two: We don't see which driver tried to transfer something with a suspended adapter. Switch to dev_WARN_ONCE to fix both issues. Drawback is that we don't see if multiple drivers are trying to transfer while suspended. They need to be discovered one after the other now. This is better than a high CPU load because a really broken driver might try to resend endlessly.

I can only build-test here. I have a prototype to fix the similar issue in the core, but this needs more testing first, so I am sending this one out already. drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-master.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-master.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-master.c index bb8e3f149979..d464799e40a3 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-master.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-master.c @@ -426,8 +426,7 @@ i2c_dw_xfer(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_msg msgs[], int num) pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->dev); - if (dev->suspended) { - dev_err(dev->dev, "Error %s call while suspended\n", __func__); + if (dev_WARN_ONCE(dev->dev, dev->suspended, "Transfer while suspended\n")) { ret = -ESHUTDOWN; goto done_nolock; } -- 2.11.0
