PM: Fix async resume following suspend failure

2011-06-21T21:20:20+00:00

The PM core doesn't handle suspend failures correctly when it comes to asynchronously suspended devices. These devices are moved onto the dpm_suspended_list as soon as the corresponding async thread is started up, and they remain on the list even if they fail to suspend or the sleep transition is cancelled before they get suspended. As a result, when the PM core unwinds the transition, it tries to resume the devices even though they were never suspended. This patch (as1474) fixes the problem by adding a new "is_suspended" flag to dev_pm_info. Devices are resumed only if the flag is set. [rjw: * Moved the dev->power.is_suspended check into device_resume(), because we need to complete dev->power.completion and clear dev->power.is_prepared too for devices whose dev->power.is_suspended flags are unset. * Fixed __device_suspend() to avoid setting dev->power.is_suspended if async_error is different from zero.] Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

PM: Allow drivers to allocate memory from .prepare() callbacks safely

2011-05-17T21:26:00+00:00

If device drivers allocate substantial amounts of memory (above 1 MB) in their hibernate .freeze() callbacks (or in their legacy suspend callbcks during hibernation), the subsequent creation of hibernate image may fail due to the lack of memory. This is the case, because the drivers' .freeze() callbacks are executed after the hibernate memory preallocation has been carried out and the preallocated amount of memory may be too small to cover the new driver allocations. Unfortunately, the drivers' .prepare() callbacks also are executed after the hibernate memory preallocation has completed, so they are not suitable for allocating additional memory either. Thus the only way a driver can safely allocate memory during hibernation is to use a hibernate/suspend notifier. However, the notifiers are called before the freezing of user space and the drivers wanting to use them for allocating additional memory may not know how much memory needs to be allocated at that point. To let device drivers overcome this difficulty rework the hibernation sequence so that the memory preallocation is carried out after the drivers' .prepare() callbacks have been executed, so that the .prepare() callbacks can be used for allocating additional memory to be used by the drivers' .freeze() callbacks. Update documentation to match the new behavior of the code. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM: Make power domain callbacks take precedence over subsystem ones

2011-04-28T22:35:50+00:00

Change the PM core's behavior related to power domains in such a way that, if a power domain is defined for a given device, its callbacks will be executed instead of and not in addition to the device subsystem's PM callbacks. The idea behind the initial implementation of power domains handling by the PM core was that power domain callbacks would be executed in addition to subsystem callbacks, so that it would be possible to extend the subsystem callbacks by using power domains. It turns out, however, that this wouldn't be really convenient in some important situations. For example, there are systems in which power can only be removed from entire power domains. On those systems it is not desirable to execute device drivers' PM callbacks until it is known that power is going to be removed from the devices in question, which means that they should be executed by power domain callbacks rather then by subsystem (e.g. bus type) PM callbacks, because subsystems generally have no information about what devices belong to which power domain. Thus, for instance, if the bus type in question is the platform bus type, its PM callbacks generally should not be called in addition to power domain callbacks, because they run device drivers' callbacks unconditionally if defined. While in principle the default subsystem PM callbacks, or a subset of them, may be replaced with different functions, it doesn't seem correct to do so, because that would change the subsystem's behavior with respect to all devices in the system, regardless of whether or not they belong to any power domains. Thus, the only remaining option is to make power domain callbacks take precedence over subsystem callbacks. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Kevin Hilman

PM / Wakeup: Fix initialization of wakeup-related device sysfs files

2011-04-26T09:33:09+00:00

It turns out that some PCI devices are only found to be wakeup-capable during registration, in which case, when device_set_wakeup_capable() is called, device_is_registered() already returns 'true' for the given device, but dpm_sysfs_add() hasn't been called for it yet. This leads to situations in which the device's power.can_wakeup flag is not set as requested because of failing wakeup_sysfs_add() and its wakeup-related sysfs files are not created, although they should be present. This is a post-2.6.38 regression introduced by commit cb8f51bdadb7969139c2e39c2defd4cde98c1 (PM: Do not create wakeup sysfs files for devices that cannot wake up). To work around this problem initialize the device's power.entry field to an empty list head and make device_set_wakeup_capable() check if it is still empty before attempting to add the devices wakeup-related sysfs files with wakeup_sysfs_add(). Namely, if power.entry is still empty at this point, device_pm_add() hasn't been called yet for the device and its wakeup-related files will be created later, so device_set_wakeup_capable() doesn't have to create them.

PM / Hibernate: Introduce CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS

2011-04-11T20:54:42+00:00

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However, that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that they would never use. To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire hibernate code along with it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Tested-by: Shriram Rajagopalan

PM: Make system-wide PM and runtime PM treat subsystems consistently

2011-03-14T23:43:17+00:00

The code handling system-wide power transitions (eg. suspend-to-RAM) can in theory execute callbacks provided by the device's bus type, device type and class in each phase of the power transition. In turn, the runtime PM core code only calls one of those callbacks at a time, preferring bus type callbacks to device type or class callbacks and device type callbacks to class callbacks. It seems reasonable to make them both behave in the same way in that respect. Moreover, even though a device may belong to two subsystems (eg. bus type and device class) simultaneously, in practice power management callbacks for system-wide power transitions are always provided by only one of them (ie. if the bus type callbacks are defined, the device class ones are not and vice versa). Thus it is possible to modify the code handling system-wide power transitions so that it follows the core runtime PM code (ie. treats the subsystem callbacks as mutually exclusive). On the other hand, the core runtime PM code will choose to execute, for example, a runtime suspend callback provided by the device type even if the bus type's struct dev_pm_ops object exists, but the runtime_suspend pointer in it happens to be NULL. This is confusing, because it may lead to the execution of callbacks from different subsystems during different operations (eg. the bus type suspend callback may be executed during runtime suspend of the device, while the device type callback will be executed during system suspend). Make all of the power management code treat subsystem callbacks in a consistent way, such that: (1) If the device's type is defined (eg. dev->type is not NULL) and its pm pointer is not NULL, the callbacks from dev->type->pm will be used. (2) If dev->type is NULL or dev->type->pm is NULL, but the device's class is defined (eg. dev->class is not NULL) and its pm pointer is not NULL, the callbacks from dev->class->pm will be used. (3) If dev->type is NULL or dev->type->pm is NULL and dev->class is NULL or dev->class->pm is NULL, the callbacks from dev->bus->pm will be used provided that both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are not NULL.

PM: Add support for device power domains

2011-03-14T23:43:16+00:00

The platform bus type is often used to handle Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC) where all devices are represented by objects of type struct platform_device. In those cases the same "platform" device driver may be used with multiple different system configurations, but the actions needed to put the devices it handles into a low-power state and back into the full-power state may depend on the design of the given SoC. The driver, however, cannot possibly include all the information necessary for the power management of its device on all the systems it is used with. Moreover, the device hierarchy in its current form also is not suitable for representing this kind of information. The patch below attempts to address this problem by introducing objects of type struct dev_power_domain that can be used for representing power domains within a SoC. Every struct dev_power_domain object provides a sets of device power management callbacks that can be used to perform what's needed for device power management in addition to the operations carried out by the device's driver and subsystem. Namely, if a struct dev_power_domain object is pointed to by the pwr_domain field in a struct device, the callbacks provided by its ops member will be executed in addition to the corresponding callbacks provided by the device's subsystem and driver during all power transitions.

PM: Allow pm_runtime_suspend() to succeed during system suspend

2011-03-14T23:43:16+00:00

The dpm_prepare() function increments the runtime PM reference counters of all devices to prevent pm_runtime_suspend() from executing subsystem-level callbacks. However, this was supposed to guard against a specific race condition that cannot happen, because the power management workqueue is freezable, so pm_runtime_suspend() can only be called synchronously during system suspend and we can rely on subsystems and device drivers to avoid doing that unnecessarily. Make dpm_prepare() drop the runtime PM reference to each device after making sure that runtime resume is not pending for it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Kevin Hilman
