spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi: fix runtime PM, then stop on shutdown
Subsystems (2)
v2 cover spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi: fix runtime PM, then stop on shutdown
This is v2 of the 5.10.y backport of e922bad8b2d5 ("spi:
spi-zynqmp-gqspi: stop the controller on shutdown"). v1 was dropped [1]: on 5.10.y its pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() check always returns 0, so ->shutdown never stops the controller. Rather than give 5.10.y runtime PM and MMIO logic of its own, v2 first brings the driver's runtime PM in line with upstream (1-3/4), then applies e922bad8b2d5 as-is (4/4, unchanged from v1).
Why it always returns 0 on 5.10.y
---------------------------------
5.10.y has none of 1-3/4. Its probe() calls pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() without a matching get, so the usage count rests at -1. The controller runtime suspends 3s after probe, and a flash access never resumes it: without auto_runtime_pm, spi-mem takes no runtime PM reference around an op.
Until 5.10.37 the clocks stayed on regardless, as zynqmp_qspi_setup_op() enabled them a second time. 24159580abcc, the 5.10.37 backport of c6bdae08012b ("spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi: fix clk_enable/disable imbalance issue"), removed that because "pm_runtime works now"; upstream it was applied directly on top of 1/4, but 5.10.y took it without 1/4. Since then only probe() and the runtime resume callback enable the clocks, so flash accesses made more than 3s after probe run on a controller whose clocks Linux has disabled.
At shutdown, device_shutdown()'s pm_runtime_get_noresume() lifts the count from -1 to 0, and pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() returns 0 whether the controller is active or not.
Why 5.10.y lacks the fixes
--------------------------
5.10.198 carried 1/4 and 2/4, line for line as they are here: 2/4 as 19f3d5d13b75, and 1/4 as its Stable-dep-of, 2cdec9c13f81. But 2cdec9c13f81 bears the upstream ID and message of a21fbc42807b, an earlier commit with the same subject: a one-line change to the probe error path, dropped in favour of 1/4 when the two branches were merged for v5.13. Marek reported that 2cdec9c13f81 looked very different from a21fbc42807b and that it broke a platform for him [2], and 5.10.199 reverted both (1ceaf0d3a883, 649237ccf440). The difference he saw comes from the label: 2cdec9c13f81's code is that of 58eaa7b2d07d. What broke was not reported.
Marek, do you remember which platform it was and how it failed? If it is still around, could you give this series a try?
I could not make this series, or 5.10.198, fail in emulation. Besides the testing below, I ran both on a full ZynqMP system in QEMU: the PMU firmware, TF-A and U-Boot of PetaLinux 2021.1 and 2024.2, the QSPI node with and without its power domain, and a local QEMU change that stalls the GQSPI while the firmware gates QSPI_REF. Flash reads and writes across runtime suspend, and unbind and bind, worked with both, and neither touched the controller while its clock was gated, 4/4's ->shutdown included. v5.10.272 without this series, by contrast, hangs on its first flash access made more than 3s after probe.
The series
----------
1/4 58eaa7b2d07d makes probe take the reference it drops, and sets
auto_runtime_pm so that spi-mem resumes the controller around every op
2/4 1527b076ae2c makes sure the controller is not runtime suspended
when the probe error path and remove() disable its clocks by hand
3/4 2219576883e7 undoes autosuspend at driver exit
4/4 e922bad8b2d5 the v1 backport, unchanged
1-3/4 are in 5.15.y and 6.1.y, with no reverts there: 58eaa7b2d07d since v5.13, 1527b076ae2c since 5.15.135 and 6.1.57, and 2219576883e7 since 5.15.174 and 6.1.120. With them, the runtime PM, clock and controller (un)registration calls in probe(), remove() and the runtime PM callbacks are the same as in v7.3, in the same order, bar a pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() that v7.3's pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() now makes itself.
Testing
-------
Tested in QEMU only, not on hardware: Xilinx QEMU (xilinx_v2024.2) and its ZynqMP GQSPI model with an n25q512a11, running v5.10.272 with v1 alone against v5.10.272 with this series.
v1 alone v2
usage count after probe -1 0 usage count after unbind and bind -1 0
runtime status after a flash read suspended active
GQSPI_EN after "halt -f" 0x1 0x0
The last row is what e922bad8b2d5 is for: with v1 alone ->shutdown returns early and leaves the controller enabled. The halt follows a flash read, with the autosuspend delay raised so that the controller is still active when ->shutdown runs; GQSPI_EN is then read through the QEMU monitor. The usage count is read from sysfs, which needs CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG. v7.3 passes the two checks that do not need the usage count.
Caveats
-------
- The QEMU GQSPI has fixed clocks and no power domain here, so runtime suspend gates nothing: this shows that runtime PM is balanced and that ->shutdown now acts. The full-system runs above add the PMU firmware and a modelled clock gate, but a model is not silicon: if what broke in 5.10.198 depends on the hardware or on that platform's firmware, none of this would catch it, hence the question to Marek.
- spi_controller_suspend() in ->shutdown is a no-op on 5.10.y, as the controller is not queued. Upstream it also takes the bus lock, and so waits for an in-flight spi-mem op; that came with bef4a48f4ef7 ("spi:
Fix null dereference on suspend", v6.7), which is in 6.1.y but not in 5.15.y or 5.10.y. 5.10.y's own zynqmp_qspi_suspend() has the same gap, so I have left that core change out of this series.
Changes in v2:
- add 1-3/4, so that 4/4 works on 5.10.y as-is
- 4/4 is unchanged

PATCH v2 1/4 spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi: Fix runtime PM imbalance in zynqmp_qspi_probe
From: Dinghao Liu <[email protected]>
commit 58eaa7b2d07d3c25e1068b0bf42ca7e7464f4bca upstream.
There is a PM usage counter decrement after zynqmp_qspi_init_hw() without any refcount increment, which leads to refcount leak.Add a refcount increment to balance the refcount. Also set auto_runtime_pm to resume suspended spi controller.
[ itai: 5.10.198 carried this change as commit 2cdec9c13f81, taken as
a Stable-dep-of 1527b076ae2c ("spi: zynqmp-gqspi: fix clock imbalance on probe failure") but under the ID and message of a21fbc42807b, an earlier upstream commit of the same subject whose change the merge into v5.13 discarded, and 5.10.199 reverted it in commit 1ceaf0d3a883. Without it, probe leaves the usage count at -1 and no flash access ever runtime resumes the controller, although commit 24159580abcc ("spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi: fix clk_enable/disable imbalance issue"), in 5.10 since 5.10.37, removed the clock enables from the setup path because runtime PM provides them. Context only: probe registers the controller with spi_register_controller() in this tree, as of commit aeb00d7e89ca ("spi: zynqmp-gqspi: fix controller deregistration") ]

In reply to Itai HandlerFrom: Jinjie Ruan <[email protected]>
commit 2219576883e709737f3100aa9ded84976be49bd7 upstream.
It's important to undo pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() with pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() at driver exit time.
So, call pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() at driver exit time to fix it.

PATCH v2 4/4 spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi: stop the controller on shutdown
In reply to Itai Handlercommit e922bad8b2d5028c51a096d083fea41cd0987154 upstream.
The driver has no ->shutdown, and platform_drv_shutdown() has no fallback of its own. Unlike pci_device_shutdown(), which clears bus mastering when kexec_in_progress, nothing on the platform bus disarms a device that can still write to memory. The normal kexec path never calls ->suspend either, so the quiesce in zynqmp_qspi_suspend() is not reached.
A controller that is still executing a DMA read may therefore keep writing to memory across a kexec. QSPIDMA_DST_ADDR still points at memory owned by the kernel that called kexec, DST_SIZE is non-zero and the flash is still clocked, so data can keep landing in RAM while the new kernel is being relocated, and after it has started executing.
That destination is a physical address which means nothing to the new kernel, so the writes can corrupt whatever now occupies it: kernel text or data, page tables, or the initrd. Nothing reports an error and the resulting behaviour is undefined.
This can be observed by reading GQSPI_EN (offset 0x114) and QSPIDMA_DST_ADDR/SIZE/STS/CTRL (offsets 0x800 to 0x80c) early in the new kernel, before the driver probes: without this patch GQSPI_EN reads 1 and QSPIDMA_DST_ADDR still points into the previous kernel's memory.
Add a ->shutdown that stops the controller the way zynqmp_qspi_suspend() already does. spi_controller_suspend() stops the queue, waits for a message that is already executing and makes any later transfer fail with -ESHUTDOWN, so nothing can be cut short by the register write that follows. It may sleep, which is fine here: device_shutdown() runs in process context. Unlike ->suspend this cannot abort on error, because a controller left mastering the bus is worse than a truncated transfer, so a failure to drain is only logged.
GQSPI_EN_OFST is then cleared, as zynqmp_qspi_remove() and zynqmp_qspi_suspend() already do. Skip that write only when pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() returns 0, i.e. runtime suspended: the clocks are gated, so the registers are unreachable and the controller cannot be mastering the bus. A negative return is not the same thing - it is what the CONFIG_PM=n stub always returns, and there probe() has enabled pclk and refclk for good, so the controller is running and must be stopped.
[ itai: context only - zynqmp_qspi_of_match[] still sits between
zynqmp_qspi_remove() and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() in this tree, hoisted to the top of the file upstream by commit 29f4d95b97bc ("spi:
