    USB: fix race between root-hub wakeup & controller suspend · ff2f0787
    Alan Stern authored
    This patch (as1395) adds code to hcd_pci_suspend() for handling wakeup
    races.  This is another general race pattern, similar to the "open
    vs. unregister" race we're all familiar with.  Here, the race is
    between suspending a device and receiving a wakeup request from one of
    the device's suspended children.
    
    In particular, if a root-hub wakeup is requested at about the same
    time as the corresponding USB controller is suspended, and if the
    controller is enabled for wakeup, then the controller should either
    fail to suspend or else wake right back up again.
    
    During system sleep this won't happen very much, especially since host
    controllers generally aren't enabled for wakeup during sleep.  However
    it is definitely an issue for runtime PM.  Something like this will be
    needed to prevent the controller from autosuspending while waiting for
    a root-hub resume to take place.  (That is, in fact, the common case,
    for which there is an extra test.)
