This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PM: runtime: Drop pm_runtime_clean_up_links() to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pm-runtime-drop-pm_runtime_clean_up_links.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From d6e36668598154820177bfd78c1621d8e6c580a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 21:13:10 +0200 Subject: PM: runtime: Drop pm_runtime_clean_up_links() From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> commit d6e36668598154820177bfd78c1621d8e6c580a2 upstream. After commit d12544fb2aa9 ("PM: runtime: Remove link state checks in rpm_get/put_supplier()") nothing prevents the consumer device's runtime PM from acquiring additional references to the supplier device after pm_runtime_clean_up_links() has run (or even while it is running), so calling this function from __device_release_driver() may be pointless (or even harmful). Moreover, it ignores stateless device links, so the runtime PM handling of managed and stateless device links is inconsistent because of it, so better get rid of it entirely.
