Hi Sumit, I understand the warning we get but the patch is completely wrong. One it removes the feature of adding/removing the cache devices on cpu hotplug events. Have you tested your patch with simple cpu hotplug and seen no change before and after this change ? On 29/08/16 08:20, Sumit Gupta wrote:
CPU notifier is present for creating device entries for child node "cache" under parent node "cpu" as per DT.
Again DT is only on few architectures not on all(e.g. x86)
During resume from suspend, while booting all non-boot CPU's, this notifier for adding cache device gets called before cpu device is added by device_resume. Because of this warning message of "parent should not be sleeping" comes during resume.
Yes that's correct and needs to be fixed. I have seen this but haven't spent much time to check in detail. It's harmless warning IMO. See the comment in the code too:"This is a fib. But we'll allow new children to be added below a resumed device, even if the device hasn't been completed yet" CPU devices are special and they have separate hotplug paths. So we need to consider that for cpu devices and set is_prepared quite early.
Removing the notifier to explicitly add/remove cache device as CPU and cache device get added/removed anyway as part of normal suspend resume sequence. dpm_resume_end - > dpm_resume -> device_resume
Yes, but: 1. the caches objects are visible even when the cpu is offline 2. how is this handled for normal cpu-hotplug events ? This patch breaks the existing feature.
