From 02b26774afebb2d62695ba3230319d70d8c6cc2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Hilman Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2011 21:45:20 +0200 Subject: PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled context Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks. This enables interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected interrupts to be disabled. This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only _put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode. However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which is what this patch aims to do. Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled context.
