Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] PM: clk: Derive PM clock locking from the device's IRQ safety
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 13:01:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110-clk-leak-v2-1-d044cf0c3f1d@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110-clk-leak-v2-0-d044cf0c3f1d@oss.qualcomm.com>
pm_clk_suspend() and pm_clk_resume() take the pm_subsys_data spinlock
when every clock in the list can be gated atomically and the mutex
otherwise. That is tracked by a clock_op_might_sleep count.
Whether the operations may sleep is a property of the device rather
than of the clocks though, runtime PM only invokes the callbacks with
interrupts disabled for an IRQ-safe device.
Use pm_runtime_is_irq_safe() and drop the count, the retry loop and
the caller name argument. Devices that are not IRQ-safe now always
take the mutex, which is legal as they only suspend in process context.
The count also rejected an IRQ-safe device holding a clock that is
enabled when prepared, with -EPERM. __pm_clk_enable() now does that
instead.
