This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: lan78xx: fix runtime PM count underflow on link stop to the 6.7-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: net-lan78xx-fix-runtime-pm-count-underflow-on-link-s.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 862ebd8c92f0458437e7717cc6ac576fb9d91a7f Author: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 28 13:45:17 2024 +0100 net: lan78xx: fix runtime PM count underflow on link stop [ Upstream commit 1eecc7ab82c42133b748e1895275942a054a7f67 ] Current driver has some asymmetry in the runtime PM calls. On lan78xx_open() it will call usb_autopm_get() and unconditionally usb_autopm_put(). And on lan78xx_stop() it will call only usb_autopm_put(). So far, it was working only because this driver do not activate autosuspend by default, so it was visible only by warning "Runtime PM usage count underflow!". Since, with current driver, we can't use runtime PM with active link, execute lan78xx_open()->usb_autopm_put() only in error case. Otherwise, keep ref counting high as long as interface is open.
