[RFC PATCH RT] PM: runtime: avoid retry loops on RT

From: John Keeping
Date: Tue Oct 05 2021 - 11:54:51 EST


With PREEMPT_RT spin_unlock() is identical to spin_unlock_irq() so there
is no reason to have a special case using the former. Furthermore,
spin_unlock() enables preemption meaning that a task in RESUMING or
SUSPENDING state may be preempted by a higher priority task running
pm_runtime_get_sync() leading to a livelock.

Use the non-irq_safe path for all waiting so that the waiting task will
block.

Note that this changes only the waiting behaviour of irq_safe, other
uses are left unchanged so that the parent device always remains active
in the same way as !RT.
