Namely, if a system suspend .prepare() +callback returns a positive number for a device, that indicates to the PM core +that the device appears to be runtime-suspended and its state is fine, so it +may be left in runtime suspend provided that all of its descendants are also +left in runtime suspend. If that happens, the PM core will not execute any +system suspend and resume callbacks for all of those devices, except for the +complete callback, which is then entirely responsible for handling the device +as appropriate. This only applies to system suspend transitions that are not +related to hibernation (see Documentation/power/devices.txt for more +information). + The PM core does its best to reduce the probability of race conditions between the runtime PM and system suspend/resume (and hibernation) callbacks by carrying out the following operations: - * During system suspend it calls pm_runtime_get_noresume() and - pm_runtime_barrier() for every device right before executing the - subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it. In addition to that it calls - __pm_runtime_disable() with 'false' as the second argument for every device - right before executing the subsystem-level .suspend_late() callback for it. - - * During system resume it calls pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put() - for every device right after executing the subsystem-level .resume_early() - callback and right after executing the subsystem-level .resume() callback + * During system suspend pm_runtime_get_noresume() is called for every device + right before executing the subsystem-level .prepare() callback for it and + pm_runtime_barrier() is called for every device right before executing the + subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it.
