If we didn't deal with the recovery failed case with correct pm_relax
call, it may left the device in a state that cannot enter to suspend state.
Because first PROC_RECOVERY_FAIL case cannot ensure it have pm_relax
called before the second crash handler call pm_stay_awake or not.
So, What about the atomic count along with pm_relax and pm_stay_awake ?
struct rproc{
...
atomic_t wake_count;
...
}
rproc_pm_stay_awake()
{
atomic_inc(&wake_count);
pm_stay_awake();
}
rproc_pm_relax()
{
if (atomic_dec_return(&wake_count) == 0)
pm_stay_awake();
}
can refer code like:
rproc_report_crash()
{
...
rproc_pm_stay_awake();
queue_work();
...
}
rproc_crash_handler_work()
{
...
if (rproc->state == RPROC_OFFLINE || rproc->state == RPROC_CRASHED) {
/* We have raced with rproc_shutdown() */
rproc_pm_relax();
mutex_unlock(&rproc->lock);
return;
}
...
}
