[PATCH] PM: Update documentation regarding sysdevs

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

 



From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

The part of Documentation/power/devices.txt regarding sysdevs is not
valid any more after commit 2e711c04dbbf7a7732a3f7073b1fc285d12b369d
(PM: Remove sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown operations), so
remove it.

-System Devices
---------------
-System devices (sysdevs) follow a slightly different API, which can be found in
-
-	include/linux/sysdev.h
-	drivers/base/sys.c
-
-System devices will be suspended with interrupts disabled, and after all other
-devices have been suspended.  On resume, they will be resumed before any other
-devices, and also with interrupts disabled.  These things occur in special
-"sysdev_driver" phases, which affect only system devices.
-
-Thus, after the suspend_noirq (or freeze_noirq or poweroff_noirq) phase, when
-the non-boot CPUs are all offline and IRQs are disabled on the remaining online
-CPU, then a sysdev_driver.suspend phase is carried out, and the system enters a
-sleep state (or a system image is created).  During resume (or after the image
-has been created or loaded) a sysdev_driver.resume phase is carried out, IRQs
-are enabled on the only online CPU, the non-boot CPUs are enabled, and the
-resume_noirq (or thaw_noirq or restore_noirq) phase begins.
-
-Code to actually enter and exit the system-wide low power state sometimes
-involves hardware details that are only known to the boot firmware, and
-may leave a CPU running software (from SRAM or flash memory) that monitors
-the system and manages its wakeup sequence.

 Device Low Power (suspend) States

 Device low-power states aren't standard.  One device might only handle
