I haven't seen this kind of set up before. Are you invoking pm_runtime_enable() here as well? I am not sure pm_runtime_get_noresume() is a good idea, since that will prevent the device from going inactive - even after the driver has probed it. Unless the driver do pm_runtime_put_sync twice of course. :-) On the other hand, if you have done pm_runtime_enable() your certainly need to prevent the device some going inactive... > > Then, one of devices is in the domain is probed, and during the probe it > does a _get_sync(), sets some stuff up, and then does _put_sync(). > After the probe, because of the _put_sync(), the genpd > ->runtime_suspend() will be triggered, causing it to attempt a > _genpd_poweroff().

Unfortunately no. I am using the DT initialization path so all my devices aren't being added to the PM domain before drivers starts to probe them. Instead they are added when each device gets probed, thus the PM domain can still power off between devices being probed. > > Kevin > > > [1] > diff --git a/drivers/base/power/domain.c b/drivers/base/power/domain.c > index 568bf3172bef..17b0d9466d98 100644 > --- a/drivers/base/power/domain.c > +++ b/drivers/base/power/domain.c > @@ -471,7 +471,7 @@ static int pm_genpd_poweroff(struct > generic_pm_domain *genpd) > if (stat > PM_QOS_FLAGS_NONE) > return -EBUSY; > > - if (pdd->dev->driver && (!pm_runtime_suspended(pdd->dev) > + if ((!pm_runtime_suspended(pdd->dev) > || pdd->dev->power.irq_safe)) > not_suspended++; > } > -- Kind regards Uffe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yes: _set_active(), _get_noresume() and _enable(). > I am not sure pm_runtime_get_noresume() is a good idea, since that > will prevent the device from going inactive - even after the driver > has probed it. That's the goal. The experiment I'm doing is the equivalent of a _get_sync() in ->probe and a _put() in ->remove. > Unless the driver do pm_runtime_put_sync twice of > course. :-) > > On the other hand, if you have done pm_runtime_enable() your certainly > need to prevent the device some going inactive...
