PM / Hibernate: Update kerneldoc comments in hibernate.c

2011-05-24T21:36:06+00:00

Some of the kerneldoc comments in kernel/power/hibernate.c are
outdated and some of them don't adhere to the kernel's standards.
Update them and make them look in a consistent way.

PM / Hibernate: Remove arch_prepare_suspend()

2011-05-24T21:35:55+00:00

All architectures supporting hibernation define
arch_prepare_suspend() as an empty function, so remove it.

PM / Hibernate: Update some comments in core hibernate code

2011-05-23T22:21:26+00:00

Some comments in the core hibernate code are outdated, some aren't
necessary any more and at least one of them is plain wrong.  Remove
those comments or update them.

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.

PM / Hibernate: Add sysfs knob to control size of memory for drivers

2011-05-17T21:19:19+00:00

Martin reports that on his system hibernation occasionally fails due
to the lack of memory, because the radeon driver apparently allocates
too much of it during the device freeze stage.  It turns out that the
amount of memory allocated by radeon during hibernation (and
presumably during system suspend too) depends on the utilization of
the GPU (e.g. hibernating while there are two KDE 4 sessions with
compositing enabled causes radeon to allocate more memory than for
one KDE 4 session).

In principle it should be possible to use image_size to make the
memory preallocation mechanism free enough memory for the radeon
driver, but in practice it is not easy to guess the right value
because of the way the preallocation code uses image_size.  For this
reason, it seems reasonable to allow users to control the amount of
memory reserved for driver allocations made after the hibernate
preallocation, which currently is constant and amounts to 1 MB.

Introduce a new sysfs file, /sys/power/reserved_size, whose value
will be used as the amount of memory to reserve for the
post-preallocation reservations made by device drivers, in bytes.
For backwards compatibility, set its default (and initial) value to
the currently used number (1 MB).

PM: Remove sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown operations

2011-05-11T19:37:15+00:00

Since suspend, resume and shutdown operations in struct sysdev_class
and struct sysdev_driver are not used any more, remove them.  Also
drop sysdev_suspend(), sysdev_resume() and sysdev_shutdown() used
for executing those operations and modify all of their users
accordingly.  This reduces kernel code size quite a bit and reduces
its complexity.

PM: Fix error code paths executed after failing syscore_suspend()

2011-04-18T21:58:59+00:00

If syscore_suspend() fails in suspend_enter(), create_image() or
resume_target_kernel(), it is necessary to call sysdev_resume(),
because sysdev_suspend() has been called already and succeeded
and we are going to abort the transition.

PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM

2011-03-14T23:43:46+00:00

Some subsystems need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown
operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled.  The only
way to register such operations is to define a sysdev class and
a sysdev specifically for this purpose which is cumbersome and
inefficient.  Moreover, the arguments taken by sysdev suspend,
resume and shutdown callbacks are practically never necessary.

For this reason, introduce a simpler interface allowing subsystems
to register operations to be executed very late during system suspend
and shutdown and very early during resume in the form of
strcut syscore_ops objects.
