From: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ca84cd379b45e9b1775b9e026f069a3a886b409d upstream. Recently, suspend testing on sc7180-trogdor based devices has started to sometimes fail with messages like this: port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: calling pm_runtime_force_suspend+0x0/0xf8 @ 28934, parent: a88000.serial:0 port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: dpm_run_callback(): pm_runtime_force_suspend+0x0/0xf8 returns -16 port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: pm_runtime_force_suspend+0x0/0xf8 returned -16 after 33 usecs port a88000.serial:0.0: PM: failed to suspend: error -16 I could reproduce these problems by logging in via an agetty on the debug serial port (which was _not_ used for kernel console) and running: cat /var/log/messages ...and then (via an SSH session) forcing a few suspend/resume cycles. Tracing through the code and doing some printf()-based debugging shows that the -16 (-EBUSY) comes from the recently added serial_port_runtime_suspend(). The idea of the serial_port_runtime_suspend() function is to prevent the port from being _runtime_ suspended if it still has bytes left to transmit. Having bytes left to transmit isn't a reason to block _system_ suspend, though. If a serdev device in the kernel needs to block system suspend it should block its own suspend and it can use serdev_device_wait_until_sent() to ensure bytes are sent. The DEFINE_RUNTIME_DEV_PM_OPS() used by the serial_port code means that the system suspend function will be pm_runtime_force_suspend(). In pm_runtime_force_suspend() we can see that before calling the runtime suspend function we'll call pm_runtime_disable(). This should be a reliable way to detect that we're called from system suspend and that we shouldn't look for busyness.
