[PATCH v3] PM / sleep: prohibit devices probing during suspend/hibernation

From: Grygorii Strashko
Date: Tue Nov 10 2015 - 04:43:13 EST


It is unsafe [1] if probing of devices will happen during suspend or
hibernation and system behavior will be unpredictable in this case.
So, let's prohibit device's probing in dpm_prepare() and defer their
probing instead. The normal behavior will be restored in
dpm_complete().

This patch introduces new DD core APIs:
device_block_probing()
It will disable probing of devices and defer their probes instead.
device_unblock_probing()
It will restore normal behavior and trigger re-probing of deferred
devices.

Changes in v3:
- rename device_defer_all_probes_enable/disable() to
device_block/unblock_probing()

Changes in v2:
- DD core API device_defer_all_probes(bool enable) split on two
void device_defer_all_probes_enable(void);
void device_defer_all_probes_disable(void);
- more comments added
