[RFC][PATCH] Add late pm notifiers for hibernate

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

 



From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch is a suggestion to solve the issue reported by Ursula Braun:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2009-March/020443.html

On s390 we have device drivers that don't belong to a Linux bus. Therefore
we can't use the PM device callbacks (dev_pm_ops). The only way to get
informed that we hibernate or resume is the pm_notifier_call_chain.
Unfortunately some of our drivers need a frozen userspace to do their
hibernate actions and the current notifiers are called before userspace is
frozen. Another point is that we want our console driver to suspend as late
as possible so that we can see all the hibernate progress messages on the
console.

This patch introduces the following new events for the pm_notifier:
* PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE_FROZEN: Going to hibernate. Processes are frozen.
* PM_POST_HIBERNATION_FROZEN:    Hibernation finished. Processes are frozen.
* PM_RESTORE_PREPARE_FROZEN:     Going to restore a saved image. Processes are
                                 frozen.
* PM_POST_RESTORE_FROZEN:        Restore failed. Processes are frozen.
