Just in case the audio linkage is swapped between components during the runtime pm sequence, we need to protect the rpm tracking with a mutex.
It's not clear to me how does this happens. Could you elaborate a bit more the scenario?
The code is written such that multiple bits within display_power_status can be set and cleared simultaneously. There was no serialisation mentioned in the routine, so I was fearful that the display_power_active here was being accessed concurrently -- and if that was explaining why snd/hda appears to be leaking the runtime pm (or at least is holding on to the wakeref longer than igt expects, > 10s).
Aha, and does patch actually "fix" the issue...?
Not sure yet; it's a temperamental issue in CI and my chief suspect is that it's just a misconfiguration of the rpm autosuspend. What may point towards the scenario above is if i915.ko module unloading has any impact on it.
It's a simple mutex addition, so no big show, and I'm fine with it, but just wonder whether it really helped.
Yeah, it just looked suspicious when reviewing the code, will throw it at CI a few times to see if it sticks. -Chris
