    serial: port: Don't block system suspend even if bytes are left to xmit · ca84cd37
    Douglas Anderson authored
    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.
