2010-03-06PM: Provide generic subsystem-level callbacksRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+65
There are subsystems whose power management callbacks only need to invoke the callbacks provided by device drivers. Still, their system sleep PM callbacks should play well with the runtime PM callbacks, so that devices suspended at run time can be left in that state for a system sleep transition. Provide a set of generic PM callbacks for such subsystems and define convenience macros for populating dev_pm_ops structures. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2010-03-06PM / Runtime: Document power.runtime_auto and related functionsRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+28
The power.runtime_auto device flag and the helper functions pm_runtime_allow() and pm_runtime_forbid() used to modify it are a part of the run-time power management framework and therefore they should be described in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

2009-12-22PM: Runtime PM documentation updateAlan Stern1-0/+50
This patch (as1318) updates the runtime PM documentation, adding a section discussing the interaction between runtime PM and system sleep. [rjw: Rebased and made it agree with the other updates better.] Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2009-12-22PM / Runtime: Use device type and device class callbacksRafael J. Wysocki1-86/+87
The power management of some devices is handled through device types and device classes rather than through bus types. Since these devices may also benefit from using the run-time power management core, extend it so that the device type and device class run-time PM callbacks can be taken into consideration by it if the bus type callback is not defined. Update the run-time PM core documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2009-12-06PM: Add flag for devices capable of generating run-time wake-up eventsRafael J. Wysocki1-2/+5
Apparently, there are devices that can wake up the system from sleep states and yet are incapable of generating wake-up events at run time. Thus, introduce a flag indicating if given device is capable of generating run-time wake-up events. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2009-12-06PM / Runtime: Make documentation of runtime_idle() agree with the codeRafael J. Wysocki1-2/+3
Currently the ->runtime_idle() callback is documented as having no return value, but in fact it returns int. Although its return value is ignored at the PM core level, it may be used by bus type routines executing the drivers' ->runtime_idle() callbacks. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Reported-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
2009-08-23PM: Introduce core framework for run-time PM of I/O devices (rev. 17)Rafael J. Wysocki1-0/+378
Introduce a core framework for run-time power management of I/O devices. Add device run-time PM fields to 'struct dev_pm_info' and device run-time PM callbacks to 'struct dev_pm_ops'. Introduce a run-time PM workqueue and define some device run-time PM helper functions at the core level. Document all these things. Special thanks to Alan Stern for his help with the design and multiple detailed reviews of the pereceding versions of this patch and to Magnus Damm for testing feedback. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
