Subject: [PATCH 1/1] base: power: runtime: Export pm_runtime_get/put_suppliers
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 18:00:47 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1512736247-16538-1-git-send-email-vivek.gautam@codeaurora.org> (raw)
The device link allows the pm framework to tie the supplier and
consumer. So, whenever the consumer is powered-on, the supplier
is powered-on first.
There are however cases in which the consumer wants to power-on
the supplier, but not itself.
E.g., A Graphics or multimedia driver wants to power-on the SMMU
to unmap a buffer and finish the TLB operations without powering
on itself. Some of these unmap requests are coming from the
user space when the controller itself is not powered-up, and it
can be huge penalty in terms of power and latency to power-up
the graphics/mm controllers.
There can be an argument that the supplier should handle this case
on its own and there should not be a need for the consumer to
power-on the supplier. But as discussed on the thread [1] about
ARM-SMMU runtime pm, we don't want to introduce runtime pm calls
in atomic paths, such as in arm_smmu_unmap.
