Subject: [PATCH 3.16 221/306] PM / sleep: don't suspend parent when async
 child suspend_{noirq, late} fails

3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Brian Norris <briannorris@...omium.org>

commit 6f75c3fd56daf547d684127a7f83c283c3c160d1 upstream.

Consider two devices, A and B, where B is a child of A, and B utilizes
asynchronous suspend (it does not matter whether A is sync or async). If
B fails to suspend_noirq() or suspend_late(), or is interrupted by a
wakeup (pm_wakeup_pending()), then it aborts and sets the async_error
variable. However, device A does not (immediately) check the async_error
variable; it may continue to run its own suspend_noirq()/suspend_late()
callback. This is bad.

We can resolve this problem by doing our error and wakeup checking
(particularly, for the async_error flag) after waiting for children to
suspend, instead of before. This also helps align the logic for the noirq and
late suspend cases with the logic in __device_suspend().

It's easy to observe this erroneous behavior by, for example, forcing a
device to sleep a bit in its suspend_noirq() (to ensure the parent is
waiting for the child to complete), then return an error, and watch the
parent suspend_noirq() still get called. (Or similarly, fake a wakeup
event at the right (or is it wrong?) time.)

Fixes: de377b397272 (PM / sleep: Asynchronous threads for suspend_late)
Fixes: 28b6fd6e3779 (PM / sleep: Asynchronous threads for suspend_noirq)
