SubjectRe: lockdep warning in urb.c:363 usb_submit_urb
Thanks for all your help straightening this out.  I think the end 
result will be a distinct improvement over the old code.

How about this? Let's set power.may_skip_resume to "true" for each
device before issuing ->prepare. The subsystem can set it to "false"
if it wants to during any of the suspend-side callbacks. Following the
->suspend_noirq callback, the core will do the equivalent of:

dev->power.may_skip_resume &= dev_pm_skip_suspend(dev);

before propagating the flag. Any subsystem changes to support this
should be minimal, since only ACPI and PCI currently use
may_skip_resume.

Well, in theory the subsystem could call pm_runtime_get_noresume(). I
can't imagine why it would want to, though.

So here's what we've got:

This seems very clear and simple. And I will repeat here some of the
things posted earlier, to make the description more complete:

During the suspend side, for each of the
{suspend,freeze,poweroff}_{late,noirq} phases: If
dev_pm_skip_suspend() returns true then the subsystem should
not invoke the driver's callback, and if there is no subsystem
callback then the core will not invoke the driver's callback.

During the resume side, for each of the
{resume,thaw,restore}_{early,noirq} phases: If
dev_pm_skip_resume() returns true then the subsystem should
not invoke the driver's callback, and if there is no subsystem
callback then the core will not invoke the driver's callback.

dev_pm_skip_suspend() will return "true" if SMART_SUSPEND is
set and the device's runtime status is "suspended".

For dev_pm_skip_resume() and power.must_resume, see above.

At the start of the {resume,thaw,restore}_noirq phase, if
dev_pm_skip_resume() returns true then the core will set the
runtime status to "suspended". Otherwise it will set the
runtime status to "active". If this is not what the subsystem
or driver wants, it must update the runtime status itself.

For this to work properly, we will have to rely on subsystems/drivers
to call pm_runtime_resume() during the suspend/freeze transition if
SMART_SUSPEND is clear. Otherwise we could have the following
scenario:

Device A has a child B, and both are runtime suspended when hibernation
starts. Suppose that the SMART_SUSPEND flag is set for A but not for
B, and suppose that B's subsystem/driver neglects to call
pm_runtime_resume() during the FREEZE transition. Then during the THAW
transition, dev_pm_skip_resume() will return "true" for A and "false"
for B. This will lead to an error when the core tries to set B's
runtime status to "active" while A's status is "suspended".

One way to avoid this is to have the core make the pm_runtime_resume()
call, but you have said that you don't like that approach. Any
suggestions?

Should the core take some special action following ->freeze_noirq if
the runtime status is "suspended" and SMART_SUSPEND is clear?
