[PATCH v2 1/6] PM / core: Add NEVER_SKIP and SMART_PREPARE driver flags

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Fri Oct 27 2017 - 18:32:00 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

The motivation for this change is to provide a way to work around
a problem with the direct-complete mechanism used for avoiding
system suspend/resume handling for devices in runtime suspend.

The problem is that some middle layer code (the PCI bus type and
the ACPI PM domain in particular) returns positive values from its
system suspend ->prepare callbacks regardless of whether the driver's
->prepare returns a positive value or 0, which effectively prevents
drivers from being able to control the direct-complete feature.
Some drivers need that control, however, and the PCI bus type has
grown its own flag to deal with this issue, but since it is not
limited to PCI, it is better to address it by adding driver flags at
the core level.

To that end, add a driver_flags field to struct dev_pm_info for flags
that can be set by device drivers at the probe time to inform the PM
core and/or bus types, PM domains and so on on the capabilities and/or
preferences of device drivers. Also add two static inline helpers
for setting that field and testing it against a given set of flags
and make the driver core clear it automatically on driver remove
and probe failures.

Define and document two PM driver flags related to the direct-
complete feature: NEVER_SKIP and SMART_PREPARE that can be used,
respectively, to indicate to the PM core that the direct-complete
mechanism should never be used for the device and to inform the
middle layer code (bus types, PM domains etc) that it can only
request the PM core to use the direct-complete mechanism for
the device (by returning a positive value from its ->prepare
callback) if it also has been requested by the driver.

While at it, make the core check pm_runtime_suspended() when
setting power.direct_complete so that it doesn't need to be
checked by ->prepare callbacks.

-> v2: Do not use pm_generic_prepare() in acpi_subsys_prepare()
as the latter has to distinguish between the lack of the
driver's ->prepare callback and the situation in which that
callback has returned 0 if DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE is set.

+3.1.19. Driver Flags for Power Management
+
+The PM core allows device drivers to set flags that influence the handling of
+power management for the devices by the core itself and by middle layer code
+including the PCI bus type. The flags should be set once at the driver probe
+time with the help of the dev_pm_set_driver_flags() function and they should not

+The DPM_FLAG_NEVER_SKIP flag prevents the PM core from using the direct-complete

+is in runtime suspend when the system suspend starts. That also affects all of
+the ancestors of the device, so this flag should only be used if absolutely
+necessary.

+The DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE flag instructs the PCI bus type to only return a
+positive value from pci_pm_prepare() if the ->prepare callback provided by the
+driver of the device returns a positive value. That allows the driver to opt
+out from using the direct-complete mechanism dynamically.
