cpsw_ethtool uses the power management in the begin and complete
functions of the ethtool_ops. The result of pm_runtime_get_sync was
returned unconditionally, which results in problems since the ethtool-
interface relies on 0 for success and negativ values for errors.
d43c65b05b84 (ethtool: runtime-resume netdev parent in ethnl_ops_begin)
introduced power management to the netlink implementation for the
ethtool interface and does not explicitly check for negative return
values.

As a result the pm_runtime_suspend function is called one-too-many
times in ethnl_ops_begin and that leads to an access violation when
the cpsw hardware is accessed after using
'ethtool -C eth-of-cpsw rx-usecs 1234'. To fix this the call to
pm_runtime_get_sync in cpsw_ethtool_op_begin is replaced with a call
to pm_runtime_resume_and_get as it provides a returnable error-code.

pm_runtime_resume_and_get() is just wrapper around pm_runtime_get_sync()
+ error handling (as done in the below code) and both return 0 on
success and -ve error code on failure

In fact code now ends up calling pm_runtime_put_noidle() twice in case
of failure, once inside pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and again here?

So something looks fishy?

pm_runtime_get_sync returns -ve error code on failure and 0 on success 
and also 1 is returned if nothing has to be done besides increment of 
the usage counter.
So for active devices that don't need to be resumed a 1 is returned.
pm_runtime_resume_and_get is a return-friendly wrapper that returns 
-error code on failure but returns 0 on both other cases.

Sort of. There is no actual failure but pm_runtime_put is still called 
twice. That is due to
	1. cpsw_ethtool_op_begin returning 1 when it should return 0
	2. ethnl_ops_begin treating values not equal to 0 as failure
	3. coalesce_prepare_data only treating negative values as failure

The patch addresses 1.

In net/ethtool/netlink.c:33 ethnl_ops_begin() the cpsw_ethtool_op_begin 
is called (returning 1) and in the error path of ethnl_ops_begin a 
pm_runtime_put is called. The function calling ethnl_ops_begin only 
checks for negative values: net/ethtool/coalesce.c:60 
coalesce_prepare_data and continues the sucess path calling 
ethnl_ops_complete. ethnl_ops_complete also calls pm_runtime_put. So the 
success path of coalesce_prepare_data and the error path of 
ethnl_ops_begin both end up calling pm_runtime_put when only one of them 
should.

I think this is a better explanation than the original commit message,
but see below

Thanks for the explanation!

Sorry, But what about the error case (ie ret < 0) With this patch, don't
we end up calling pm_runtime_put_noidle() twice (once inside
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and again in cpsw_ethtool_op_begin()). How
is that okay?

Of course its not okay. Thanks, totally missed that case.. I will be 
preparing a V2 where the additional call to pm_runtime_put_noidle is 
omitted in cpsw_ethtool. Also I will rework the commit message as you 
suggested.

Thanks for your feedback so far!
