[RFC PATCH] PM / Runtime: Allow to inactivate devices during system suspend

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The PM core was preventing devices from going inactive during system
suspend. Remove this constraint and moreover try to inactivate devices
by invoking pm_runtime_idle() before proceeding with device's
suspend_late callbacks.

A great amount of drivers that uses runtime PM will benefit from this.

Drivers that implements some of the system ->suspend* callbacks for the
only reason of making sure the runtime PM resourses gets inactive, can
now solely instead rely on the PM core to handle this.

In the case were drivers needs there runtime resourses to be activated
to be able to handle their system suspend tasks, those can easily just
restore the runtime PM usage count, pm_runtime_put_sync(), once done
with it's suspend operations, which then will inactivate the device.

There are a quite long history for how the PM core behaves around this
topic. Changes has been iterated, back for forward, you might even
think that it should have been settled at this point. So, forgive me
for bringing this up, again.

This patch shall obviously not be merged as is, it will cause
regressions for several drivers and subsystems. The intent is instead
to try to follow up on previous discussions to see if we might end up
closer to the sequence, which my RFC PATCH suggests, or if I am just
bothering you completely unnecessary.
