Rafael J. Wysocki 4fe1e6caac driver core: Fix PM-runtime for links added during consumer probe
[ Upstream commit 36003d4cf5 ]

Commit 4c06c4e6cf ("driver core: Fix possible supplier PM-usage
counter imbalance") introduced a regression that causes suppliers
to be suspended prematurely for device links added during consumer
driver probe if the initial PM-runtime status of the consumer is
"suspended" and the consumer is resumed after adding the link and
before pm_runtime_put_suppliers() is called.  In that case,
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() will drop the rpm_active refcount for
the link by one and (since rpm_active is equal to two after the
preceding consumer resume) the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter
will be decremented, which may cause the supplier to suspend even
though the consumer's PM-runtime status is "active".

For this reason, partially revert commit 4c06c4e6cf as the problem
it tried to fix needs to be addressed somewhat differently, and
change pm_runtime_get_suppliers() and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() so
that the latter only drops rpm_active references acquired by the
former.  [This requires adding a new field to struct device_link,
but I coulnd't find a cleaner way to address the issue that would
work in all cases.]

This causes pm_runtime_put_suppliers() to effectively ignore device
links added during consumer probe, so device_link_add() doesn't need
to worry about ensuring that suppliers will remain active after
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() for links created with DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE
set and it only needs to bump up rpm_active by one for those links,
so pm_runtime_active_link() is not necessary any more.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
