Hello,

Today, I discovered that the runtime PM support in the gpio-zynq driver
was not entirely correct. Indeed, it does a pm_runtime_get_sync() in
the ->request() hook.

However, if the only GPIO used on the Zynq GPIO controller is used for
an interrupt (as is my case, where a PCA GPIO expander INT# signal is
connected to PS_MIO11 on the Zynq side), then ->request() is not
called. Due to this, pm_runtime_get_sync() is never called, and the
GPIO controller remains in PM runtime suspended state. This is
confirmed by looking
at /sys/bus/platform/devices/e000a000.gpio/power/runtime_status.

Forcing the GPIO controller on by writing "on"
to /sys/bus/platform/devices/e000a000.gpio/power/control makes it work
perfectly fine.

After discussing with Michal on IRC, I tried implementing the solution
used in gpio-omap, which consists in pm_runtime_get_sync() in
->irq_bus_lock() and pm_runtime_put() in ->irq_bus_sync_unlock(). While
this makes sure that the GPIO controller is runtime resumed when
masking/unmask interrupts, it remains runtime suspended otherwise, and
therefore never notices that interrupts are happening.

Looking at the gpio-omap implementation, I see that they do a
pm_runtime_get_sync() inside the GPIO controller IRQ handler. So it
seems like on OMAP the GPIO controller can fire its interrupt in a
runtime PM suspend state, and doing a pm_runtime_get_sync() in the
interrupt handler is needed to be able to read the GPIO controller
registers.

On Zynq, it seems like if the GPIO controller is not clocked, it will
not notice interrupts. So basically, as soon as one GPIO is used as an
interrupt on Zynq, the GPIO controller should not be runtime suspended.

What is the proper way of implementing this ?

As seen in aca82d1cbb49af34b69ecd4571a0fe48ad9247c1, doing the
pm_runtime_get_sync() in ->irq_set_type() is not the right thing to do.

Best regards,

Thomas

For reference, here is the change I did to gpio-zynq.c:

FWIW, off-list, Shubhrajyoti Datta <shubhraj@xilinx.com> pointed to me
the proposal that Michal did back in 2017 on this topic:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9899079/

Since this is relevant, I will reply to this older thread, with some
testing results and comments.

Best regards,

Thomas
