71. Introduction
8
9Support for runtime power management (runtime PM) of I/O devices is provided
10at the power management core (PM core) level by means of:
11
12* The power management workqueue pm_wq in which bus types and device drivers can
13  put their PM-related work items.  It is strongly recommended that pm_wq be
14  used for queuing all work items related to runtime PM, because this allows
15  them to be synchronized with system-wide power transitions (suspend to RAM,
16  hibernation and resume from system sleep states).  pm_wq is declared in
17  include/linux/pm_runtime.h and defined in kernel/power/main.c.
18
19* A number of runtime PM fields in the 'power' member of 'struct device' (which
20  is of the type 'struct dev_pm_info', defined in include/linux/pm.h) that can
21  be used for synchronizing runtime PM operations with one another.
22
23* Three device runtime PM callbacks in 'struct dev_pm_ops' (defined in
24  include/linux/pm.h).
25
26* A set of helper functions defined in drivers/base/power/runtime.c that can be
27  used for carrying out runtime PM operations in such a way that the
28  synchronization between them is taken care of by the PM core.  Bus types and
29  device drivers are encouraged to use these functions.
30
31The runtime PM callbacks present in 'struct dev_pm_ops', the device runtime PM
32fields of 'struct dev_pm_info' and the core helper functions provided for
33runtime PM are described below.
34
352. Device Runtime PM Callbacks
36
37There are three device runtime PM callbacks defined in 'struct dev_pm_ops':
38
39struct dev_pm_ops {
40	...
41	int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev);
42	int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev);
43	int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev);
44	...
45};
46
47The ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume() and ->runtime_idle() callbacks
48are executed by the PM core for the device's subsystem that may be either of
49the following:
50
51  1. PM domain of the device, if the device's PM domain object, dev->pm_domain,
52     is present.
53
54  2. Device type of the device, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present.
55
56  3. Device class of the device, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are
57     present.
58
59  4. Bus type of the device, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present.
60
61If the subsystem chosen by applying the above rules doesn't provide the relevant
62callback, the PM core will invoke the corresponding driver callback stored in
63dev->driver->pm directly (if present).
64
65The PM core always checks which callback to use in the order given above, so the
66priority order of callbacks from high to low is: PM domain, device type, class
67and bus type.  Moreover, the high-priority one will always take precedence over
68a low-priority one.  The PM domain, bus type, device type and class callbacks
69are referred to as subsystem-level callbacks in what follows.
70
71By default, the callbacks are always invoked in process context with interrupts
72enabled.  However, the pm_runtime_irq_safe() helper function can be used to tell
73the PM core that it is safe to run the ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume()
74and ->runtime_idle() callbacks for the given device in atomic context with
75interrupts disabled.  This implies that the callback routines in question must
76not block or sleep, but it also means that the synchronous helper functions
77listed at the end of Section 4 may be used for that device within an interrupt
78handler or generally in an atomic context.
79
80The subsystem-level suspend callback, if present, is _entirely_ _responsible_
81for handling the suspend of the device as appropriate, which may, but need not
82include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_suspend() callback (from the
83PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_suspend()
84callback in a device driver as long as the subsystem-level suspend callback
85knows what to do to handle the device).
86
87  * Once the subsystem-level suspend callback (or the driver suspend callback,
88    if invoked directly) has completed successfully for the given device, the PM
89    core regards the device as suspended, which need not mean that it has been
90    put into a low power state.  It is supposed to mean, however, that the
91    device will not process data and will not communicate with the CPU(s) and
92    RAM until the appropriate resume callback is executed for it.  The runtime
93    PM status of a device after successful execution of the suspend callback is
94    'suspended'.
95
96  * If the suspend callback returns -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the device's runtime PM
97    status remains 'active', which means that the device _must_ be fully
98    operational afterwards.
99
100  * If the suspend callback returns an error code different from -EBUSY and
101    -EAGAIN, the PM core regards this as a fatal error and will refuse to run
102    the helper functions described in Section 4 for the device until its status
103    is directly set to  either 'active', or 'suspended' (the PM core provides
104    special helper functions for this purpose).
105
106In particular, if the driver requires remote wakeup capability (i.e. hardware
107mechanism allowing the device to request a change of its power state, such as
108PCI PME) for proper functioning and device_can_wakeup() returns 'false' for the
109device, then ->runtime_suspend() should return -EBUSY.  On the other hand, if
110device_can_wakeup() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put into a
111low-power state during the execution of the suspend callback, it is expected
112that remote wakeup will be enabled for the device.  Generally, remote wakeup
113should be enabled for all input devices put into low-power states at run time.
114
115The subsystem-level resume callback, if present, is _entirely_ _responsible_ for
116handling the resume of the device as appropriate, which may, but need not
117include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_resume() callback (from the
118PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_resume()
119callback in a device driver as long as the subsystem-level resume callback knows
120what to do to handle the device).
121
122  * Once the subsystem-level resume callback (or the driver resume callback, if
123    invoked directly) has completed successfully, the PM core regards the device
124    as fully operational, which means that the device _must_ be able to complete
125    I/O operations as needed.  The runtime PM status of the device is then
126    'active'.
127
128  * If the resume callback returns an error code, the PM core regards this as a
129    fatal error and will refuse to run the helper functions described in Section
130    4 for the device, until its status is directly set to either 'active', or
131    'suspended' (by means of special helper functions provided by the PM core
132    for this purpose).
133
134The idle callback (a subsystem-level one, if present, or the driver one) is
135executed by the PM core whenever the device appears to be idle, which is
136indicated to the PM core by two counters, the device's usage counter and the
137counter of 'active' children of the device.
138
139  * If any of these counters is decreased using a helper function provided by
140    the PM core and it turns out to be equal to zero, the other counter is
141    checked.  If that counter also is equal to zero, the PM core executes the
142    idle callback with the device as its argument.
143
144The action performed by the idle callback is totally dependent on the subsystem
145(or driver) in question, but the expected and recommended action is to check
146if the device can be suspended (i.e. if all of the conditions necessary for
147suspending the device are satisfied) and to queue up a suspend request for the
148device in that case.  If there is no idle callback, or if the callback returns
1490, then the PM core will attempt to carry out a runtime suspend of the device,
150also respecting devices configured for autosuspend.  In essence this means a
151call to pm_runtime_autosuspend() (do note that drivers needs to update the
152device last busy mark, pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(), to control the delay under
153this circumstance).  To prevent this (for example, if the callback routine has
154started a delayed suspend), the routine must return a non-zero value.  Negative
155error return codes are ignored by the PM core.
156
157The helper functions provided by the PM core, described in Section 4, guarantee
158that the following constraints are met with respect to runtime PM callbacks for
159one device:
160
161(1) The callbacks are mutually exclusive (e.g. it is forbidden to execute
162    ->runtime_suspend() in parallel with ->runtime_resume() or with another
163    instance of ->runtime_suspend() for the same device) with the exception that
164    ->runtime_suspend() or ->runtime_resume() can be executed in parallel with
165    ->runtime_idle() (although ->runtime_idle() will not be started while any
166    of the other callbacks is being executed for the same device).
167
168(2) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for 'active'
169    devices (i.e. the PM core will only execute ->runtime_idle() or
170    ->runtime_suspend() for the devices the runtime PM status of which is
171    'active').
172
173(3) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for a device
174    the usage counter of which is equal to zero _and_ either the counter of
175    'active' children of which is equal to zero, or the 'power.ignore_children'
176    flag of which is set.
177
178(4) ->runtime_resume() can only be executed for 'suspended' devices  (i.e. the
179    PM core will only execute ->runtime_resume() for the devices the runtime
180    PM status of which is 'suspended').
181
182Additionally, the helper functions provided by the PM core obey the following
183rules:
184
185  * If ->runtime_suspend() is about to be executed or there's a pending request
186    to execute it, ->runtime_idle() will not be executed for the same device.
187
188  * A request to execute or to schedule the execution of ->runtime_suspend()
189    will cancel any pending requests to execute ->runtime_idle() for the same
190    device.
191
192  * If ->runtime_resume() is about to be executed or there's a pending request
193    to execute it, the other callbacks will not be executed for the same device.
194
195  * A request to execute ->runtime_resume() will cancel any pending or
196    scheduled requests to execute the other callbacks for the same device,
197    except for scheduled autosuspends.
198
1993. Runtime PM Device Fields
200
201The following device runtime PM fields are present in 'struct dev_pm_info', as
202defined in include/linux/pm.h:
203
204  struct timer_list suspend_timer;
205    - timer used for scheduling (delayed) suspend and autosuspend requests
206
207  unsigned long timer_expires;
208    - timer expiration time, in jiffies (if this is different from zero, the
209      timer is running and will expire at that time, otherwise the timer is not
210      running)
211
212  struct work_struct work;
213    - work structure used for queuing up requests (i.e. work items in pm_wq)
214
215  wait_queue_head_t wait_queue;
216    - wait queue used if any of the helper functions needs to wait for another
217      one to complete
218
219  spinlock_t lock;
220    - lock used for synchronization
221
222  atomic_t usage_count;
223    - the usage counter of the device
224
225  atomic_t child_count;
226    - the count of 'active' children of the device
227
228  unsigned int ignore_children;
229    - if set, the value of child_count is ignored (but still updated)
230
231  unsigned int disable_depth;
232    - used for disabling the helper functions (they work normally if this is
233      equal to zero); the initial value of it is 1 (i.e. runtime PM is
234      initially disabled for all devices)
235
236  int runtime_error;
237    - if set, there was a fatal error (one of the callbacks returned error code
238      as described in Section 2), so the helper functions will not work until
239      this flag is cleared; this is the error code returned by the failing
240      callback
241
242  unsigned int idle_notification;
243    - if set, ->runtime_idle() is being executed
244
245  unsigned int request_pending;
246    - if set, there's a pending request (i.e. a work item queued up into pm_wq)
247
248  enum rpm_request request;
249    - type of request that's pending (valid if request_pending is set)
250
251  unsigned int deferred_resume;
252    - set if ->runtime_resume() is about to be run while ->runtime_suspend() is
253      being executed for that device and it is not practical to wait for the
254      suspend to complete; means "start a resume as soon as you've suspended"
255
256  enum rpm_status runtime_status;
257    - the runtime PM status of the device; this field's initial value is
258      RPM_SUSPENDED, which means that each device is initially regarded by the
259      PM core as 'suspended', regardless of its real hardware status
260
261  unsigned int runtime_auto;
262    - if set, indicates that the user space has allowed the device driver to
263      power manage the device at run time via the /sys/devices/.../power/control
264      interface; it may only be modified with the help of the pm_runtime_allow()
265      and pm_runtime_forbid() helper functions
266
267  unsigned int no_callbacks;
268    - indicates that the device does not use the runtime PM callbacks (see
269      Section 8); it may be modified only by the pm_runtime_no_callbacks()
270      helper function
271
272  unsigned int irq_safe;
273    - indicates that the ->runtime_suspend() and ->runtime_resume() callbacks
274      will be invoked with the spinlock held and interrupts disabled
275
276  unsigned int use_autosuspend;
277    - indicates that the device's driver supports delayed autosuspend (see
278      Section 9); it may be modified only by the
279      pm_runtime{_dont}_use_autosuspend() helper functions
280
281  unsigned int timer_autosuspends;
282    - indicates that the PM core should attempt to carry out an autosuspend
283      when the timer expires rather than a normal suspend
284
285  int autosuspend_delay;
286    - the delay time (in milliseconds) to be used for autosuspend
287
288  unsigned long last_busy;
289    - the time (in jiffies) when the pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() helper
290      function was last called for this device; used in calculating inactivity
291      periods for autosuspend
292
293All of the above fields are members of the 'power' member of 'struct device'.
294
2954. Runtime PM Device Helper Functions
296
297The following runtime PM helper functions are defined in
298drivers/base/power/runtime.c and include/linux/pm_runtime.h:
299
300  void pm_runtime_init(struct device *dev);
301    - initialize the device runtime PM fields in 'struct dev_pm_info'
302
303  void pm_runtime_remove(struct device *dev);
304    - make sure that the runtime PM of the device will be disabled after
305      removing the device from device hierarchy
306
307  int pm_runtime_idle(struct device *dev);
308    - execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the device; returns an
309      error code on failure, where -EINPROGRESS means that ->runtime_idle() is
310      already being executed; if there is no callback or the callback returns 0
311      then run pm_runtime_autosuspend(dev) and return its result
312
313  int pm_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev);
314    - execute the subsystem-level suspend callback for the device; returns 0 on
315      success, 1 if the device's runtime PM status was already 'suspended', or
316      error code on failure, where -EAGAIN or -EBUSY means it is safe to attempt
317      to suspend the device again in future and -EACCES means that
318      'power.disable_depth' is different from 0
319
320  int pm_runtime_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
321    - same as pm_runtime_suspend() except that the autosuspend delay is taken
322      into account; if pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration() says the delay has
323      not yet expired then an autosuspend is scheduled for the appropriate time
324      and 0 is returned
325
326  int pm_runtime_resume(struct device *dev);
327    - execute the subsystem-level resume callback for the device; returns 0 on
328      success, 1 if the device's runtime PM status was already 'active' or
329      error code on failure, where -EAGAIN means it may be safe to attempt to
330      resume the device again in future, but 'power.runtime_error' should be
331      checked additionally, and -EACCES means that 'power.disable_depth' is
332      different from 0
333
334  int pm_request_idle(struct device *dev);
335    - submit a request to execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the
336      device (the request is represented by a work item in pm_wq); returns 0 on
337      success or error code if the request has not been queued up
338
339  int pm_request_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
340    - schedule the execution of the subsystem-level suspend callback for the
341      device when the autosuspend delay has expired; if the delay has already
342      expired then the work item is queued up immediately
343
344  int pm_schedule_suspend(struct device *dev, unsigned int delay);
345    - schedule the execution of the subsystem-level suspend callback for the
346      device in future, where 'delay' is the time to wait before queuing up a
347      suspend work item in pm_wq, in milliseconds (if 'delay' is zero, the work
348      item is queued up immediately); returns 0 on success, 1 if the device's PM
349      runtime status was already 'suspended', or error code if the request
350      hasn't been scheduled (or queued up if 'delay' is 0); if the execution of
351      ->runtime_suspend() is already scheduled and not yet expired, the new
352      value of 'delay' will be used as the time to wait
353
354  int pm_request_resume(struct device *dev);
355    - submit a request to execute the subsystem-level resume callback for the
356      device (the request is represented by a work item in pm_wq); returns 0 on
357      success, 1 if the device's runtime PM status was already 'active', or
358      error code if the request hasn't been queued up
359
360  void pm_runtime_get_noresume(struct device *dev);
361    - increment the device's usage counter
362
363  int pm_runtime_get(struct device *dev);
364    - increment the device's usage counter, run pm_request_resume(dev) and
365      return its result
366
367  int pm_runtime_get_sync(struct device *dev);
368    - increment the device's usage counter, run pm_runtime_resume(dev) and
369      return its result
370
371  int pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(struct device *dev);
372    - return -EINVAL if 'power.disable_depth' is nonzero; otherwise, if the
373      runtime PM status is RPM_ACTIVE and the runtime PM usage counter is
374      nonzero, increment the counter and return 1; otherwise return 0 without
375      changing the counter
376
377  void pm_runtime_put_noidle(struct device *dev);
378    - decrement the device's usage counter
379
380  int pm_runtime_put(struct device *dev);
381    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
382      pm_request_idle(dev) and return its result
383
384  int pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
385    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
386      pm_request_autosuspend(dev) and return its result
387
388  int pm_runtime_put_sync(struct device *dev);
389    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
390      pm_runtime_idle(dev) and return its result
391
392  int pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend(struct device *dev);
393    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
394      pm_runtime_suspend(dev) and return its result
395
396  int pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
397    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
398      pm_runtime_autosuspend(dev) and return its result
399
400  void pm_runtime_enable(struct device *dev);
401    - decrement the device's 'power.disable_depth' field; if that field is equal
402      to zero, the runtime PM helper functions can execute subsystem-level
403      callbacks described in Section 2 for the device
404
405  int pm_runtime_disable(struct device *dev);
406    - increment the device's 'power.disable_depth' field (if the value of that
407      field was previously zero, this prevents subsystem-level runtime PM
408      callbacks from being run for the device), make sure that all of the
409      pending runtime PM operations on the device are either completed or
410      canceled; returns 1 if there was a resume request pending and it was
411      necessary to execute the subsystem-level resume callback for the device
412      to satisfy that request, otherwise 0 is returned
413
414  int pm_runtime_barrier(struct device *dev);
415    - check if there's a resume request pending for the device and resume it
416      (synchronously) in that case, cancel any other pending runtime PM requests
417      regarding it and wait for all runtime PM operations on it in progress to
418      complete; returns 1 if there was a resume request pending and it was
419      necessary to execute the subsystem-level resume callback for the device to
420      satisfy that request, otherwise 0 is returned
421
422  void pm_suspend_ignore_children(struct device *dev, bool enable);
423    - set/unset the power.ignore_children flag of the device
424
425  int pm_runtime_set_active(struct device *dev);
426    - clear the device's 'power.runtime_error' flag, set the device's runtime
427      PM status to 'active' and update its parent's counter of 'active'
428      children as appropriate (it is only valid to use this function if
429      'power.runtime_error' is set or 'power.disable_depth' is greater than
430      zero); it will fail and return error code if the device has a parent
431      which is not active and the 'power.ignore_children' flag of which is unset
432
433  void pm_runtime_set_suspended(struct device *dev);
434    - clear the device's 'power.runtime_error' flag, set the device's runtime
435      PM status to 'suspended' and update its parent's counter of 'active'
436      children as appropriate (it is only valid to use this function if
437      'power.runtime_error' is set or 'power.disable_depth' is greater than
438      zero); it will fail and return an error code if the device has a child
439      which is active and the 'power.ignore_children' flag is unset
440

456
457  void pm_runtime_forbid(struct device *dev);
458    - unset the power.runtime_auto flag for the device and increase its usage
459      counter (used by the /sys/devices/.../power/control interface to
460      effectively prevent the device from being power managed at run time)
461
462  void pm_runtime_no_callbacks(struct device *dev);
463    - set the power.no_callbacks flag for the device and remove the runtime

492      called or the device's usage counter may be decremented and
493      pm_runtime_idle called depending on if power.autosuspend_delay is
494      changed to or from a negative value; if power.use_autosuspend is clear,

499      based on power.last_busy and power.autosuspend_delay; if the delay time
500      is 1000 ms or larger then the expiration time is rounded up to the
501      nearest second; returns 0 if the delay period has already expired or
502      power.use_autosuspend isn't set, otherwise returns the expiration time
503      in jiffies
504
505It is safe to execute the following helper functions from interrupt context:
506
507pm_request_idle()
508pm_request_autosuspend()
509pm_schedule_suspend()
510pm_request_resume()
511pm_runtime_get_noresume()
512pm_runtime_get()
513pm_runtime_put_noidle()
514pm_runtime_put()
515pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()
516pm_runtime_enable()
517pm_suspend_ignore_children()
518pm_runtime_set_active()
519pm_runtime_set_suspended()
520pm_runtime_suspended()
521pm_runtime_mark_last_busy()
522pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration()
523
524If pm_runtime_irq_safe() has been called for a device then the following helper
525functions may also be used in interrupt context:
526
527pm_runtime_idle()
528pm_runtime_suspend()
529pm_runtime_autosuspend()
530pm_runtime_resume()
531pm_runtime_get_sync()
532pm_runtime_put_sync()
533pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend()
534pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend()
535
5365. Runtime PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal
537
538Initially, the runtime PM is disabled for all devices, which means that the
539majority of the runtime PM helper functions described in Section 4 will return
540-EAGAIN until pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device.
541
542In addition to that, the initial runtime PM status of all devices is
543'suspended', but it need not reflect the actual physical state of the device.
544Thus, if the device is initially active (i.e. it is able to process I/O), its
545runtime PM status must be changed to 'active', with the help of
546pm_runtime_set_active(), before pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device.
547
548However, if the device has a parent and the parent's runtime PM is enabled,
549calling pm_runtime_set_active() for the device will affect the parent, unless
550the parent's 'power.ignore_children' flag is set.  Namely, in that case the
551parent won't be able to suspend at run time, using the PM core's helper
552functions, as long as the child's status is 'active', even if the child's
553runtime PM is still disabled (i.e. pm_runtime_enable() hasn't been called for
554the child yet or pm_runtime_disable() has been called for it).  For this reason,
555once pm_runtime_set_active() has been called for the device, pm_runtime_enable()
556should be called for it too as soon as reasonably possible or its runtime PM
557status should be changed back to 'suspended' with the help of
558pm_runtime_set_suspended().
559
560If the default initial runtime PM status of the device (i.e. 'suspended')
561reflects the actual state of the device, its bus type's or its driver's
562->probe() callback will likely need to wake it up using one of the PM core's
563helper functions described in Section 4.  In that case, pm_runtime_resume()
564should be used.  Of course, for this purpose the device's runtime PM has to be
565enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable().
566
567Note, if the device may execute pm_runtime calls during the probe (such as
568if it is registers with a subsystem that may call back in) then the
569pm_runtime_get_sync() call paired with a pm_runtime_put() call will be
570appropriate to ensure that the device is not put back to sleep during the
571probe. This can happen with systems such as the network device layer.
572
573It may be desirable to suspend the device once ->probe() has finished.
574Therefore the driver core uses the asynchronous pm_request_idle() to submit a
575request to execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the device at that
576time.  A driver that makes use of the runtime autosuspend feature, may want to
577update the last busy mark before returning from ->probe().
578
579Moreover, the driver core prevents runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
580notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary, because the
581notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the
582runtime PM functionality.  It does so by calling pm_runtime_get_sync() before
583driver_sysfs_remove() and the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER notifications.  This
584resumes the device if it's in the suspended state and prevents it from
585being suspended again while those routines are being executed.
586
587To allow bus types and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by
588calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, the driver core
589executes pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER
590notifications in __device_release_driver().  This requires bus types and
591drivers to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM directly,
592but also it allows of more flexibility in the handling of devices during the
593removal of their drivers.
594
595Drivers in ->remove() callback should undo the runtime PM changes done
596in ->probe(). Usually this means calling pm_runtime_disable(),
597pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() etc.
598
599The user space can effectively disallow the driver of the device to power manage
600it at run time by changing the value of its /sys/devices/.../power/control
601attribute to "on", which causes pm_runtime_forbid() to be called.  In principle,
602this mechanism may also be used by the driver to effectively turn off the
603runtime power management of the device until the user space turns it on.
604Namely, during the initialization the driver can make sure that the runtime PM
605status of the device is 'active' and call pm_runtime_forbid().  It should be
606noted, however, that if the user space has already intentionally changed the
607value of /sys/devices/.../power/control to "auto" to allow the driver to power
608manage the device at run time, the driver may confuse it by using
609pm_runtime_forbid() this way.
610
6116. Runtime PM and System Sleep
612
613Runtime PM and system sleep (i.e., system suspend and hibernation, also known
614as suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disk) interact with each other in a couple of
615ways.  If a device is active when a system sleep starts, everything is
616straightforward.  But what should happen if the device is already suspended?
617
618The device may have different wake-up settings for runtime PM and system sleep.
619For example, remote wake-up may be enabled for runtime suspend but disallowed
620for system sleep (device_may_wakeup(dev) returns 'false').  When this happens,
621the subsystem-level system suspend callback is responsible for changing the
622device's wake-up setting (it may leave that to the device driver's system
623suspend routine).  It may be necessary to resume the device and suspend it again
624in order to do so.  The same is true if the driver uses different power levels
625or other settings for runtime suspend and system sleep.
626
627During system resume, the simplest approach is to bring all devices back to full
628power, even if they had been suspended before the system suspend began.  There
629are several reasons for this, including:
630
631  * The device might need to switch power levels, wake-up settings, etc.
632
633  * Remote wake-up events might have been lost by the firmware.
634
635  * The device's children may need the device to be at full power in order
636    to resume themselves.
637
638  * The driver's idea of the device state may not agree with the device's
639    physical state.  This can happen during resume from hibernation.
640
641  * The device might need to be reset.
642
643  * Even though the device was suspended, if its usage counter was > 0 then most
644    likely it would need a runtime resume in the near future anyway.
645
646If the device had been suspended before the system suspend began and it's
647brought back to full power during resume, then its runtime PM status will have
648to be updated to reflect the actual post-system sleep status.  The way to do
649this is:
650
651	pm_runtime_disable(dev);
652	pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
653	pm_runtime_enable(dev);
654
655The PM core always increments the runtime usage counter before calling the
656->suspend() callback and decrements it after calling the ->resume() callback.
657Hence disabling runtime PM temporarily like this will not cause any runtime
658suspend attempts to be permanently lost.  If the usage count goes to zero
659following the return of the ->resume() callback, the ->runtime_idle() callback
660will be invoked as usual.
661
662On some systems, however, system sleep is not entered through a global firmware
663or hardware operation.  Instead, all hardware components are put into low-power
664states directly by the kernel in a coordinated way.  Then, the system sleep
665state effectively follows from the states the hardware components end up in
666and the system is woken up from that state by a hardware interrupt or a similar
667mechanism entirely under the kernel's control.  As a result, the kernel never
668gives control away and the states of all devices during resume are precisely
669known to it.  If that is the case and none of the situations listed above takes
670place (in particular, if the system is not waking up from hibernation), it may
671be more efficient to leave the devices that had been suspended before the system
672suspend began in the suspended state.
673
674To this end, the PM core provides a mechanism allowing some coordination between
675different levels of device hierarchy.  Namely, if a system suspend .prepare()
676callback returns a positive number for a device, that indicates to the PM core
677that the device appears to be runtime-suspended and its state is fine, so it
678may be left in runtime suspend provided that all of its descendants are also
679left in runtime suspend.  If that happens, the PM core will not execute any
680system suspend and resume callbacks for all of those devices, except for the
681complete callback, which is then entirely responsible for handling the device
682as appropriate.  This only applies to system suspend transitions that are not
683related to hibernation (see Documentation/power/admin-guide/devices.rst for more
684information).
685
686The PM core does its best to reduce the probability of race conditions between
687the runtime PM and system suspend/resume (and hibernation) callbacks by carrying
688out the following operations:
689
690  * During system suspend pm_runtime_get_noresume() is called for every device
691    right before executing the subsystem-level .prepare() callback for it and
692    pm_runtime_barrier() is called for every device right before executing the
693    subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it.  In addition to that the PM core
694    calls  __pm_runtime_disable() with 'false' as the second argument for every
695    device right before executing the subsystem-level .suspend_late() callback
696    for it.
697
698  * During system resume pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put() are called for
699    every device right after executing the subsystem-level .resume_early()
700    callback and right after executing the subsystem-level .complete() callback
701    for it, respectively.
702
7037. Generic subsystem callbacks
704
705Subsystems may wish to conserve code space by using the set of generic power
706management callbacks provided by the PM core, defined in
707driver/base/power/generic_ops.c:
708
709  int pm_generic_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev);
710    - invoke the ->runtime_suspend() callback provided by the driver of this
711      device and return its result, or return 0 if not defined
712
713  int pm_generic_runtime_resume(struct device *dev);
714    - invoke the ->runtime_resume() callback provided by the driver of this
715      device and return its result, or return 0 if not defined
716
717  int pm_generic_suspend(struct device *dev);
718    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->suspend()
719      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
720      defined
721
722  int pm_generic_suspend_noirq(struct device *dev);
723    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->suspend_noirq()
724      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
725      0 if not defined
726
727  int pm_generic_resume(struct device *dev);
728    - invoke the ->resume() callback provided by the driver of this device and,
729      if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active'
730
731  int pm_generic_resume_noirq(struct device *dev);
732    - invoke the ->resume_noirq() callback provided by the driver of this device
733
734  int pm_generic_freeze(struct device *dev);
735    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->freeze()
736      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
737      defined
738
739  int pm_generic_freeze_noirq(struct device *dev);
740    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->freeze_noirq()
741      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
742      0 if not defined
743
744  int pm_generic_thaw(struct device *dev);
745    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->thaw()
746      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
747      defined
748
749  int pm_generic_thaw_noirq(struct device *dev);
750    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->thaw_noirq()
751      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
752      0 if not defined
753
754  int pm_generic_poweroff(struct device *dev);
755    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->poweroff()
756      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
757      defined
758
759  int pm_generic_poweroff_noirq(struct device *dev);
760    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", run the ->poweroff_noirq()
761      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
762      0 if not defined
763
764  int pm_generic_restore(struct device *dev);
765    - invoke the ->restore() callback provided by the driver of this device and,
766      if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active'
767
768  int pm_generic_restore_noirq(struct device *dev);
769    - invoke the ->restore_noirq() callback provided by the device's driver
770
771These functions are the defaults used by the PM core, if a subsystem doesn't
772provide its own callbacks for ->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(),
773->runtime_resume(), ->suspend(), ->suspend_noirq(), ->resume(),
774->resume_noirq(), ->freeze(), ->freeze_noirq(), ->thaw(), ->thaw_noirq(),
775->poweroff(), ->poweroff_noirq(), ->restore(), ->restore_noirq() in the
776subsystem-level dev_pm_ops structure.
777
778Device drivers that wish to use the same function as a system suspend, freeze,
779poweroff and runtime suspend callback, and similarly for system resume, thaw,
780restore, and runtime resume, can achieve this with the help of the
781UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro defined in include/linux/pm.h (possibly setting its
782last argument to NULL).
783
7848. "No-Callback" Devices
785
786Some "devices" are only logical sub-devices of their parent and cannot be
787power-managed on their own.  (The prototype example is a USB interface.  Entire
788USB devices can go into low-power mode or send wake-up requests, but neither is
789possible for individual interfaces.)  The drivers for these devices have no
790need of runtime PM callbacks; if the callbacks did exist, ->runtime_suspend()
791and ->runtime_resume() would always return 0 without doing anything else and
792->runtime_idle() would always call pm_runtime_suspend().
793
794Subsystems can tell the PM core about these devices by calling
795pm_runtime_no_callbacks().  This should be done after the device structure is
796initialized and before it is registered (although after device registration is
797also okay).  The routine will set the device's power.no_callbacks flag and
798prevent the non-debugging runtime PM sysfs attributes from being created.
799
800When power.no_callbacks is set, the PM core will not invoke the
801->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(), or ->runtime_resume() callbacks.
802Instead it will assume that suspends and resumes always succeed and that idle
803devices should be suspended.
804
805As a consequence, the PM core will never directly inform the device's subsystem
806or driver about runtime power changes.  Instead, the driver for the device's
807parent must take responsibility for telling the device's driver when the
808parent's power state changes.
809
8109. Autosuspend, or automatically-delayed suspends
811
812Changing a device's power state isn't free; it requires both time and energy.
813A device should be put in a low-power state only when there's some reason to
814think it will remain in that state for a substantial time.  A common heuristic
815says that a device which hasn't been used for a while is liable to remain
816unused; following this advice, drivers should not allow devices to be suspended
817at runtime until they have been inactive for some minimum period.  Even when
818the heuristic ends up being non-optimal, it will still prevent devices from
819"bouncing" too rapidly between low-power and full-power states.
820
821The term "autosuspend" is an historical remnant.  It doesn't mean that the
822device is automatically suspended (the subsystem or driver still has to call
823the appropriate PM routines); rather it means that runtime suspends will
824automatically be delayed until the desired period of inactivity has elapsed.
825
826Inactivity is determined based on the power.last_busy field.  Drivers should
827call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() to update this field after carrying out I/O,
828typically just before calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend().  The desired length
829of the inactivity period is a matter of policy.  Subsystems can set this length
830initially by calling pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(), but after device
831registration the length should be controlled by user space, using the
832/sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms attribute.
833
834In order to use autosuspend, subsystems or drivers must call
835pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() (preferably before registering the device), and
836thereafter they should use the various *_autosuspend() helper functions instead
837of the non-autosuspend counterparts:
838
839	Instead of: pm_runtime_suspend    use: pm_runtime_autosuspend;
840	Instead of: pm_schedule_suspend   use: pm_request_autosuspend;
841	Instead of: pm_runtime_put        use: pm_runtime_put_autosuspend;
842	Instead of: pm_runtime_put_sync   use: pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend.
843
844Drivers may also continue to use the non-autosuspend helper functions; they
845will behave normally, which means sometimes taking the autosuspend delay into
846account (see pm_runtime_idle).
847
848Under some circumstances a driver or subsystem may want to prevent a device
849from autosuspending immediately, even though the usage counter is zero and the
850autosuspend delay time has expired.  If the ->runtime_suspend() callback
851returns -EAGAIN or -EBUSY, and if the next autosuspend delay expiration time is
852in the future (as it normally would be if the callback invoked
853pm_runtime_mark_last_busy()), the PM core will automatically reschedule the
854autosuspend.  The ->runtime_suspend() callback can't do this rescheduling
855itself because no suspend requests of any kind are accepted while the device is
856suspending (i.e., while the callback is running).
857
858The implementation is well suited for asynchronous use in interrupt contexts.
859However such use inevitably involves races, because the PM core can't
860synchronize ->runtime_suspend() callbacks with the arrival of I/O requests.
861This synchronization must be handled by the driver, using its private lock.
862Here is a schematic pseudo-code example:
863
864	foo_read_or_write(struct foo_priv *foo, void *data)
865	{
866		lock(&foo->private_lock);
867		add_request_to_io_queue(foo, data);
868		if (foo->num_pending_requests++ == 0)
869			pm_runtime_get(&foo->dev);
870		if (!foo->is_suspended)
871			foo_process_next_request(foo);
872		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
873	}
874
875	foo_io_completion(struct foo_priv *foo, void *req)
876	{
877		lock(&foo->private_lock);
878		if (--foo->num_pending_requests == 0) {
879			pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev);
880			pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(&foo->dev);
881		} else {
882			foo_process_next_request(foo);
883		}

918The important point is that after foo_io_completion() asks for an autosuspend,
919the foo_runtime_suspend() callback may race with foo_read_or_write().
920Therefore foo_runtime_suspend() has to check whether there are any pending I/O
921requests (while holding the private lock) before allowing the suspend to
922proceed.
923
924In addition, the power.autosuspend_delay field can be changed by user space at
925any time.  If a driver cares about this, it can call
926pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration() from within the ->runtime_suspend()
927callback while holding its private lock.  If the function returns a nonzero
928value then the delay has not yet expired and the callback should return
929-EAGAIN.
