Subject: [PATCH v2] mailbox: mtk-cmdq: fix runtime PM usage counter leak in cmdq_mbox_flush
Date: 24 Aug 2026 22:00:04 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6a8c718c.160324b0.2e71f9.d555@mx.google.com> (raw)
cmdq_mbox_flush() calls pm_runtime_get_sync() and returns its error
code directly on failure. Per Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst,
pm_runtime_get_sync() does not drop the usage counter on error, so the
caller is expected to release the reference itself. The early return
here skips that, leaking a runtime PM usage count on cmdq->mbox.dev on
every failed resume.
Fix it by switching to pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which performs the
get-and-put internally on failure so the caller doesn't need a manual
pm_runtime_put_noidle(), per Markus Elfring's review of v1.

v2: Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() instead of pm_runtime_get_sync()
plus a manual pm_runtime_put_noidle() on the error path, per
Markus Elfring's review.
