Re: [RFC PATCH 1/2] suspend: extend S2Idle ops by new notify handler

It looks like you want suspend-to-idle to behave like S3 and it won't.

In a way, yes, we compensate for the lack of something like PM1_CNT to
trap on for detecting that the guest is suspending.
We could instead force the guest to use S3 but IMO it is undesirable,
since it generally does make a difference which suspend mode is used
in the guest, s2idle or S3, e.g some drivers check which suspend type
is used and based on that behaves differently during suspend. One of
the example is:

Actually I recently was suggesting a change to add this detection to another driver to set a policy and Rafael pushed back. He's actively removing it from other places in the kernel.

For amdgpu stuff you pointed above, are you wanting to pass through the PCIe GPU device to a guest and then suspend that guest? Or is this just illustrative?

For a dGPU I would expect it works, but I don't think passing an APU's GPU PCIe endpoint would functionally work (there were bugs reported on this I recall).

That code path you point out only has special handling for APU when headed to S0ix and that's because the GPU driver happens to be where the control point is for some common silicon functions. If the bug I mentioned about PCIe passthrough of the APU GPU endpoint to the guest is fixed and the guest needs to do s0ix when the host doesn't we're going to have other breakage to worry about because of that common silicon functionality I mentioned.
