orderly_poweroff is triggered when a graceful shutdown of system is desired. This may be used in many critical states of the kernel such as when subsystems detects conditions such as critical temperature conditions. However, in certain conditions in system boot up sequences like those in the middle of driver probes being initiated, userspace will be unable to power off the system in a clean manner and leaves the system in a critical state. In cases like these, the /sbin/poweroff will return success (having forked off to attempt powering off the system. However, the system overall will fail to completely poweroff (since other modules will be probed) and the system is still functional with no userspace (since that would have shut itself off). However, there is no clean way of detecting such failure of userspace powering off the system. In such scenarios, it is necessary for a backup workqueue to be able to force a shutdown of the system when orderly shutdown is not successful after a configurable time period.
