In haswell-pcm module unloading, we can't free runtime modules directly, for they may be already freed in runtime suspend.
Here add executing suspend call to unload runtime modules, only for status not equal to RPM_SUSPEND, to fix broadwell module removing failed issue.
What if a kernel is built without PM support? (Practically seen, it's never any serious problem, though.)
I think or kernel built without PM, empty pm_runtime_xxx()s are called and no problems for that.
Well, but what about the modules? Where will they be freed? Your patch description sounds as if they are freed in the runtime suspend path.
The freeing of modules is actually done in fw_unload() stage.
Also, I'm not quite certain whether it's allowed to do runtime suspend at driver free. Usually it's even forcibly powered up, as we can't leave the device as suspended state after free (who can wake up rightly if no driver is bound?)
You are right. Will change it to that descripted below.
Keyon, it sounds like you will still need hsw_pcm_free_modules() and should call it after the PM put/disable on module remove. You will need to add some code too that will check the memory state prior to doing any unloading though....
Yes, I plan to add both check before runtime_module_free() and set pcm_data->runtime to NULL after that. At the same time, make sure hsw_pcm_free_modules() is called before fw_unload() called.
With those implemented, suppose the issue can be fixed neatly.
I will test it and submit then.
Yes, this looks like the missing piece.
OK, then I will follow this.
Hi Mark, can you help revert these 2 commits? Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
