Sometimes kernel hangs on resume with the following trace:
ucc_geth e0102000.ucc: resume
INFO: task bash:1764 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
bash D 0fecf43c 0 1764 1763 0x00000000

[...]
Here is why.
On suspend:
- PM core starts suspending devices, ucc_geth_suspend gets called;
- ucc_geth calls phy_stop() on suspend. Note that phy_stop() is
mostly asynchronous so it doesn't block ucc_geth's suspend routine,
it just sets PHY_HALTED state and disables PHY's interrupts;
- Suddenly the state machine gets scheduled, it grabs the phydev->lock
mutex and tries to process the PHY_HALTED state, so it calls
phydev->adjust_link(phydev->attached_dev). In ucc_geth case
adjust_link() calls msleep(), which reschedules the code flow back to
PM core, which now finishes suspend and so we end up sleeping with
phydev->lock mutex held.
On resume:
- PM core starts resuming devices (notice that nobody rescheduled
the state machine yet, so the mutex is still held), the core calls
ucc_geth's resume routine;
- ucc_geth_resume restarts the PHY with phy_stop()/phy_start()
sequence, and the phy_*() calls are trying to grab the phydev->lock
mutex. Here comes the deadlock.
This patch fixes the issue by stopping the state machine on suspend
and starting it again on resume.
