So the PM core could save a pointer to the "current" task_struct in struct device before invoking the ->runtime_suspend or ->runtime_resume callback, and all subsequent rpm_resume() and rpm_suspend() calls could then become no-ops if "current" is equivalent to the saved pointer. (This is also how you could solve the deadlock you're dealing with for sync suspend.) For a recursive resume during a resume or a recursive suspend during a suspend, this might actually be fine. For a recursive suspend during a resume or a recursive resume during a suspend, things become murkier: How should the PM core know if the particular part of the device is still accessible when hitting a recursive resume during a suspend? Let's say a clock is needed for i2c. Then the recursive resume during a suspend may only become a no-op before that clock has been turned off. That's something only the device driver itself has knowledge about, because it implements the order in which subdevices of the GPU are turned off.
