2012-02-09PM / Freezer / Docs: Document the beauty of freeze/thaw semanticsSrivatsa S. Bhat
The way the different freeze/thaw functions encapsulate each other are quite lovely from a design point of view. And as a side-effect, the way in which they are invoked (cleaning up on failure for example) differs significantly from how usual functions are dealt with. This is because of the underlying semantics that govern the freezing and thawing of various tasks. This subtle aspect that differentiates these functions from the rest, is worth documenting.

2012-01-29PM / Sleep: Introduce "late suspend" and "early resume" of devicesRafael J. Wysocki
The current device suspend/resume phases during system-wide power transitions appear to be insufficient for some platforms that want to use the same callback routines for saving device states and related operations during runtime suspend/resume as well as during system suspend/resume. In principle, they could point their .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() to the same callback routines as their .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume(), respectively, but at least some of them require device interrupts to be enabled while the code in those routines is running. It also makes sense to have device suspend-resume callbacks that will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts enabled in case someone needs to run some special code in that context during system-wide power transitions. Apart from this, .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() were introduced as a workaround for drivers using shared interrupts and failing to prevent their interrupt handlers from accessing suspended hardware. It appears to be better not to use them for other porposes, or we may have to deal with some serious confusion (which seems to be happening already). For the above reasons, introduce new device suspend/resume phases, "late suspend" and "early resume" (and analogously for hibernation) whose callback will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts enabled and whose callback pointers generally may point to runtime suspend/resume routines.

2011-12-21PM: Run the driver callback directly if the subsystem one is not thereRafael J. Wysocki
Make the PM core execute driver PM callbacks directly if the corresponding subsystem callbacks are not present. There are three reasons for doing that. First, it reflects the behavior of drivers/base/dd.c:really_probe() that runs the driver's .probe() callback directly if the bus type's one is not defined, so this change will remove one arbitrary difference between the PM core and the remaining parts of the driver core. Second, it will allow some subsystems, whose PM callbacks don't do anything except for executing driver callbacks, to be simplified quite a bit by removing those "forward-only" callbacks. Finally, it will allow us to remove one level of indirection in the system suspend and resume code paths where it is not necessary, which is going to lead to less debug noise with initcall_debug passed in the kernel command line (messages won't be printed for driverless devices whose subsystems don't provide PM callbacks among other things).

2011-11-04PM / Runtime: Automatically retry failed autosuspendsAlan Stern
Originally, the runtime PM core would send an idle notification whenever a suspend attempt failed. The idle callback routine could then schedule a delayed suspend for some time later. However this behavior was changed by commit f71648d73c1650b8b4aceb3856bebbde6daa3b86 (PM / Runtime: Remove idle notification after failing suspend). No notifications were sent, and there was no clear mechanism to retry failed suspends. This caused problems for the usbhid driver, because it fails autosuspend attempts as long as a key is being held down. Therefore this patch (as1492) adds a mechanism for retrying failed autosuspends. If the callback routine updates the last_busy field so that the next autosuspend expiration time is in the future, the autosuspend will automatically be rescheduled.

2011-10-16PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memoryRafael J. Wysocki
There is a problem with the current ordering of hibernate code which leads to deadlocks in some filesystems' memory shrinkers. Namely, some filesystems use freezable kernel threads that are inactive when the hibernate memory preallocation is carried out. Those same filesystems use memory shrinkers that may be triggered by the hibernate memory preallocation. If those memory shrinkers wait for the frozen kernel threads, the hibernate process deadlocks (this happens with XFS, for one example). Apparently, it is not technically viable to redesign the filesystems in question to avoid the situation described above, so the only possible solution of this issue is to defer the freezing of kernel threads until the hibernate memory preallocation is done, which is implemented by this change. Unfortunately, this requires the memory preallocation to be done before the "prepare" stage of device freeze, so after this change the only way drivers can allocate additional memory for their freeze routines in a clean way is to use PM notifiers.

2011-10-16PM / Suspend: Add statistics debugfs file for suspend to RAMShuoX Liu
Record S3 failure time about each reason and the latest two failed devices' names in S3 progress. We can check it through 'suspend_stats' entry in debugfs. The motivation of the patch: We are enabling power features on Medfield. Comparing with PC/notebook, a mobile enters/exits suspend-2-ram (we call it s3 on Medfield) far more frequently. If it can't enter suspend-2-ram in time, the power might be used up soon. We often find sometimes, a device suspend fails. Then, system retries s3 over and over again. As display is off, testers and developers don't know what happens. Some testers and developers complain they don't know if system tries suspend-2-ram, and what device fails to suspend. They need such info for a quick check. The patch adds suspend_stats under debugfs for users to check suspend to RAM statistics quickly. If not using this patch, we have other methods to get info about what device fails. One is to turn on CONFIG_PM_DEBUG, but users would get too much info and testers need recompile the system. In addition, dynamic debug is another good tool to dump debug info. But it still doesn't match our utilization scenario closely. 1) user need write a user space parser to process the syslog output; 2) Our testing scenario is we leave the mobile for at least hours. Then, check its status. No serial console available during the testing. One is because console would be suspended, and the other is serial console connecting with spi or HSU devices would consume power. These devices are powered off at suspend-2-ram.

2011-10-07regulator: Clarify documentation for regulator-regulator suppliesMark Brown
The mechanism used for connecting regulators together when one regulator supplies another wasn't clear as the names being used weren't really tied together well. Reported-by: Philip Rakity <prakity@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>
2011-10-07regulator: Fix some bitrot in the machine driver documentationMark Brown
The documentation for the machine driver was rather badly bitrotted, using pointers to struct device rather than dev_name() to hook up the consumers. Update to use dev_name(). Reported-by: Philip Rakity <prakity@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>
2011-10-04PM / QoS: Update Documentation for the pm_qos and dev_pm_qos frameworksJean Pihet
Update the documentation for the recently updated pm_qos API, kernel and user space. Add documentation for the per-device PM QoS (dev_pm_qos) framework API. Signed-off-by: Jean Pihet <j-pihet@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2011-09-21PM / Runtime: pm_runtime_idle() can be called in atomic contextMing Lei
Add to pm_runtime_idle the list of functions that can be called in atomic context if pm_runtime_irq_safe() has been called for the device. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
2011-08-25PM / Runtime: Correct documentation of pm_runtime_irq_safe()Rafael J. Wysocki
The description of pm_runtime_irq_safe() has to be updated to follow the code after commit 02b2677 (PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled context). Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Acked-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@ti.com>
2011-08-14PM / Runtime: Add might_sleep() to runtime PM functionsColin Cross
Some of the entry points to pm runtime are not safe to call in atomic context unless pm_runtime_irq_safe() has been called. Inspecting the code, it is not immediately obvious that the functions sleep at all, as they run inside a spin_lock_irqsave, but under some conditions they can drop the lock and turn on irqs. If a driver incorrectly calls the pm_runtime apis, it can cause sleeping and irq processing when it expects to stay in atomic context. Add might_sleep_if to the majority of the __pm_runtime_* entry points to enforce correct usage. Add pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend to the list of functions that can be called in atomic context.
