Subject[PATCH] PM / core: Propagate dev->power.wakeup_path when no callbacks
Date
The dev->power.direct_complete flag may become set in device_prepare() in
case the device don't have any PM callbacks (dev->power.no_pm_callbacks is
set). This leads to a broken behaviour, when there is child having wakeup
enabled and relies on its parent to be used in the wakeup path.

More precisely, when the direct complete path becomes selected for the
child in __device_suspend(), the propagation of the dev->power.wakeup_path
becomes skipped as well.

Let's address this problem, by checking if the device is a part the wakeup
path or has wakeup enabled, then prevent the direct complete path from
being used.

More background:

This problem was reported by Loic Pallardy, offlist, while he was working
on enabling wakeup for a tty serial console driver.

When I looked more closely, I noticed that uart_suspend_port() calls
device_may_wakeup() for the tty child devices, and then also the used serial
driver check its device (parent) for device_may_wakeup(). To me this looks like
workarounds to fix a behaviour that really should be dealt with from the PM
core, no matter of whether the child have PM callbacks assigned or not.

In other words, it seems like the serial driver(s) should be checking the
wakeup_path flag for the parent, solely, instead.

I haven't digested further behaviours for other subsystem, but recently
reviewed a patch for a gpio driver [1], that seems to be suffering from the
similar problems.

Kind regards
Ulf Hansson
