snapshot: Use pm_mutex for mutual exclusion

2008-07-16T21:27:03Z

We can avoid taking the BKL in snapshot_ioctl() if pm_mutex is used to prevent the ioctls from being executed concurrently. In addition, although it is only possible to open /dev/snapshot once, the task which has done that may spawn a child that will inherit the open descriptor, so in theory they can call snapshot_write(), snapshot_read() and snapshot_release() concurrently. pm_mutex can also be used for mutual exclusion in such cases.

Hibernation: Add PM_RESTORE_PREPARE and PM_POST_RESTORE notifiers (rev. 2)

2008-02-01T23:30:53Z

Add PM_RESTORE_PREPARE and PM_POST_RESTORE notifiers to the PM core, to be used in analogy with the existing PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE and PM_POST_HIBERNATION notifiers. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Signed-off-by: Len Brown

Hibernation: Correct definitions of some ioctls (rev. 2)

2008-02-01T23:30:53Z

Three ioctl numbers belonging to the hibernation userland interface, SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT, SNAPSHOT_AVAIL_SWAP, SNAPSHOT_GET_SWAP_PAGE, are defined in a wrong way (eg. not portable). Provide new ioctl numbers for these ioctls and mark the existing ones as deprecated. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Len Brown

Hibernation: Mark SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl as deprecated (rev. 2)

Hibernation: Rework platform support ioctls (rev. 2)

2008-02-01T23:30:53Z

Modify the hibernation userland interface by adding two new ioctls to it, SNAPSHOT_PLATFORM_SUPPORT and SNAPSHOT_POWER_OFF, that can be used, respectively, to switch the hibernation platform support on/off and to make the kernel transition the system to the hibernation state (eg. ACPI S4) using the platform (eg. ACPI) driver. These ioctls are intended to replace the misdesigned SNAPSHOT_PMOPS ioctl, which from now is regarded as obsolete and will be removed in the future.

Hibernation: Introduce SNAPSHOT_GET_IMAGE_SIZE ioctl

2008-02-01T23:30:52Z

Add a new ioctl, SNAPSHOT_GET_IMAGE_SIZE, returning the size of the (just created) hibernation image, to the hibernation userland interface. This ioctl is necessary so that the userland utilities using the interface need not access the hibernation image header, owned by the kernel, in order to obtain the size of the image.

freezer: do not sync filesystems from freeze_processes

2007-10-18T21:37:18Z

The syncing of filesystems from within the freezer is generally not needed. Also, if there's an ext3 filesystem loopback-mounted from a FUSE one, the syncing results in writes to it and deadlocks. Similarly, it will deadlock if FUSE implements sync. Change freeze_processes() so that it doesn't execute sys_sync() and make the suspend and hibernation code path sync filesystems independently of the freezer. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

PM: Reduce code duplication between main.c and user.c

2007-07-19T17:04:42Z

The SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl code is outdated and it should not duplicate the suspend code in kernel/power/main.c. Fix that. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek Cc: Nigel Cunningham Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

PM: introduce hibernation and suspend notifiers

2007-07-19T17:04:42Z

Make it possible to register hibernation and suspend notifiers, so that subsystems can perform hibernation-related or suspend-related operations that should not be carried out by device drivers' .suspend() and .resume() routines.
