Hello, This RFC/PATCH tries to address an issue with the Renesas CMT driver design. The driver do PM and clock handling in struct clock_event_device callbacks. This leads to LOCKDEP warnings and I think hints at a larger issue. ============================= [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] 6.17.0-rc3-arm64-renesas-03071-gb3c4f4122b28-dirty #21 Not tainted ----------------------------- swapper/1/0 is trying to lock: ffff00000898d180 (&dev->power.lock){-...}-{3:3}, at: __pm_runtime_resume+0x38/0x88 ccree e6601000.crypto: ARM CryptoCell 630P Driver: HW version 0xAF400001/0xDCC63000, Driver version 5.0 other info that might help us debug this: ccree e6601000.crypto: ARM ccree device initialized context-{5:5} 2 locks held by swapper/1/0: #0: ffff80008173c298 (tick_broadcast_lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control+0xa4/0x3a8 #1: ffff0000089a5858 (&ch->lock){....}-{2:2} usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid , at: sh_cmt_start+0x30/0x364 stack backtrace: CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 6.17.0-rc3-arm64-renesas-03071-gb3c4f4122b28-dirty #21 PREEMPT Hardware name: Renesas Salvator-X 2nd version board based on r8a77965 (DT) Call trace: show_stack+0x14/0x1c (C) dump_stack_lvl+0x6c/0x90 dump_stack+0x14/0x1c __lock_acquire+0x904/0x1584 lock_acquire+0x220/0x34c _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x58/0x80 __pm_runtime_resume+0x38/0x88 sh_cmt_start+0x54/0x364 sh_cmt_clock_event_set_oneshot+0x64/0xb8 clockevents_switch_state+0xfc/0x13c tick_broadcast_set_event+0x30/0xa4 __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control+0x1e0/0x3a8 tick_broadcast_oneshot_control+0x30/0x40 cpuidle_enter_state+0x40c/0x680 cpuidle_enter+0x30/0x40 do_idle+0x1f4/0x26c cpu_startup_entry+0x34/0x40 secondary_start_kernel+0x11c/0x13c __secondary_switched+0x74/0x78 This series tries to address this by instead doing PM and clock management at probe time, and leaving them on for the CMT channels that are used as clock events. The CMT design is a bit messy as channels can be used both as clock sources and events. And the design to do the housekeeping for clock sources seems to be valid and is kept. This is posted as an RFC as there is one other driver in-tree that suffers form similar issues. I intend to try and refactor that away too, but would like to try and get some feedback first. The work is tested on R-Car M3N.
