After commit ead18c23c263 ("driver core: Introduce device links
reference counting"), if there is a link between the given supplier
and the given consumer already, device_link_add() will refcount it
and return it unconditionally without updating its flags. It is
possible, however, that the second (or any subsequent) caller of
device_link_add() for the same consumer-supplier pair will pass
DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME, possibly along with DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE, in flags
to it and the existing link may not behave as expected then.
First, if DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME is not set in the existing link's flags
at all, it needs to be set like during the original initialization of
the link.
Second, if DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE is passed to device_link_add() in flags
(in addition to DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME), the existing link should to be
updated to reflect the "active" runtime PM configuration of the
consumer-supplier pair and extra care must be taken here to avoid
possible destructive races with runtime PM of the consumer.
To that end, redefine the rpm_active field in struct device_link
as a refcount, initialize it to 1 and make rpm_resume() (for the
consumer) and device_link_add() increment it whenever they acquire
a runtime PM reference on the supplier device. Accordingly, make
rpm_suspend() (for the consumer) and pm_runtime_clean_up_links()
decrement it and drop runtime PM references to the supplier
device in a loop until rpm_active becones 1 again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
