This thread holds the clk prepare_lock, and is trying to runtime PM resume a device, when it finds that the device is in the process of resuming so the thread schedule()s away waiting for the device to finish resuming before continuing. The second thread is runtime PM resuming the same device, but the runtime resume callback is calling clk_prepare(), trying to grab the prepare_lock waiting on the first thread. This is a classic ABBA deadlock. To properly fix the deadlock, we must never runtime PM resume or suspend a device with the clk prepare_lock held. Actually doing that is near impossible today because the global prepare_lock would have to be dropped in the middle of the tree, the device runtime PM resumed/suspended, and then the prepare_lock grabbed again to ensure consistency of the clk tree topology. If anything changes with the clk tree in the meantime, we've lost and will need to start the operation all over again. Luckily, most of the time we're simply incrementing or decrementing the runtime PM count on an active device, so we don't have the chance to schedule away with the prepare_lock held. Let's fix this immediate problem that can be ---truncated---

Este hilo contiene clk prepare_lock y está intentando ejecutar PM para reanudar un dispositivo, cuando descubre que el dispositivo está en proceso de reanudación, por lo que la programación del hilo está esperando a que el dispositivo termine de reanudarse antes de continuar. El segundo hilo es PM en tiempo de ejecución que reanuda el mismo dispositivo, pero la devolución de llamada de reanudación en tiempo de ejecución llama a clk_prepare(), intentando capturar el prepare_lock que espera en el primer hilo. Este es un clásico punto muerto de ABBA. Para solucionar correctamente el punto muerto, nunca debemos reanudar el PM en tiempo de ejecución ni suspender un dispositivo con clk prepare_lock retenido. En realidad, hacer eso es casi imposible hoy en día porque el prepare_lock global tendría que colocarse en el medio del árbol, el tiempo de ejecución del dispositivo PM se reanudaría/suspendiría y luego el prepare_lock se tomaría nuevamente para garantizar la coherencia de la topología del árbol clk. Mientras tanto, si algo cambia con el árbol clk, habremos perdido y necesitaremos comenzar la operación de nuevo. ---truncarse---
