PM / Runtime: Automatically retry failed autosuspends

2011-11-11T17:36:57Z

commit 886486b792e4f6f96d4fbe8ec5bf20811cab7d6a upstream. 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.

PM / Runtime: Update documentation regarding driver removal

2011-07-02T12:27:11Z

Commit e1866b33b1e89f077b7132daae3dfd9a594e9a1a (PM / Runtime: Rework runtime PM handling during driver removal) forgot to update the documentation in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt to match the new code in drivers/base/dd.c. Update that documentation to match the code it describes. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Reviewed-by: Kevin Hilman

PM: Documentation: fix typo: pm_runtime_idle_sync() doesn't exist.

Replace reference to pm_runtime_idle_sync() in the driver core with pm_runtime_put_sync() which is used in the code. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Domains: Update documentation

2011-06-21T21:25:32Z

Commit 4d27e9dcff00a6425d779b065ec8892e4f391661 (PM: Make power domain callbacks take precedence over subsystem ones) forgot to update the device power management documentation to take changes made by it into account. Correct that mistake. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM: Update documentation regarding sysdevs

2011-06-21T21:19:15Z

The part of Documentation/power/devices.txt regarding sysdevs is not valid any more after commit 2e711c04dbbf7a7732a3f7073b1fc285d12b369d (PM: Remove sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown operations), so remove it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Runtime: Update doc: usage count no longer incremented across system PM

2011-06-21T21:17:59Z

Commit e8665002477f0278f84f898145b1f141ba26ee26 (PM: Allow pm_runtime_suspend() to succeed during system suspend) removed usage count increment across system PM. Update doc to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

regulator: Remove supply_regulator_dev from machine configuration

2011-05-27T09:34:37Z

supply_regulator_dev (using a struct pointer) has been deprecated in favour of supply_regulator (using a regulator name) for quite a few releases now with a warning generated if it is used and there are no current in tree users so just remove the code.

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

2011-05-17T21:26:00Z

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
