Probably by looking closely at the implementation of the PM callouts
for the driver, but I couldn't find a pattern that would be easy to
recognize. Maybe I didn't look close enough ;-)

I concur that removing the check would be a better approach if it's
clear that it's just done "out of habit".

Actually, the real problem is to find the drivers that need to have
the check in, add/fix it for them, and remove it for all others.

Unfortunately, all I'm currently able to do is finding the parts that
are inconsistent.

Is it easily recognizable if the drivers check the error code because
there is a reason or if they do it "out of habit"? For the latter, I
agree that the better fix would be to remove the error check altogether.
Otherwise the code becomes more complex for no reason and even less
people are then brave enough to simplify it later.

pm_runtime_put_noidle is playing it safe by not decrementing past 0, I
think that's a good thing.

That's what I've asked linux-pm in the linked discussion:

As far as I've understood the idea is that most "error" return values
actually are a result of disabled runtime PM, and that should be
transparent to the caller. Looking at the code, that's what the vast
majority of callers do - they just ignore the return value of
pm_runtime_get_sync, and somewhere later have an
unconditional pm_runtime_put_... call.

So the only issue are callers that don't ignore the pm_runtime_get_sync
return value, probably because they're having some kind of special
requirements for error handling. For those, they need to ensure that a
proper _put_ is done somewhere in the error path.

the increment is unconditional:
  pm_runtime_get_sync
  -> __pm_runtime_resume(dev, RPM_GET_PUT);
 -> if (rpmflags & RPM_GET_PUT) atomic_inc(&dev->power.usage_count);

the decrement though is conditional:
  pm_runtime_put_noidle
  -> atomic_add_unless(&dev->power.usage_count, -1, 0);

would it not be possible to use an atomic_dec() here rahter than
atomic_add_unless() ? probably only a few cylces

Also just wondering - could one not decrement in pm_runtime_get_sync on the
error path rather than defering this to the caller and fixing it there ?
something like:

int __pm_runtime_resume(struct device *dev, int rpmflags)
{
...
if (rpmflags & RPM_GET_PUT) 
atomic_inc(&dev->power.usage_count);

spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->power.lock, flags);
retval = rpm_resume(dev, rpmflags);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->power.lock, flags);

if (retival < 0)
atomic_dec(&dev->power.usage_count);

return retval;
}

that would require other changes then I guess (did not look into it).
but if resume fails does it ever make sense to increment the use count ?

[PATCH] i2c: img-scb: fix PM device usage count

2018-02-24 Thread Tobias Jordan 
pm_runtime_get_sync() increases the device's usage count even when
reporting an error, so add a call to pm_runtime_put_noidle() in the
error branch.
