[PATCH 0/4] PM: Hibernate: Add hibernation cancellation support

From: Muhammad Usama Anjum

Date: Fri Nov 07 2025 - 13:45:19 EST


On a normal laptop/PC, the hibernation takes 15-20 seconds which is
considerable time. Once hibernation is triggered from command line or by
some GUI option, the hibernation cannot be cancelled until completed.
Its not a blocker, but poor user experience.

When power button is pressed during hibernation, it generates interrupt
and then the event is routed to userspace. If systemd is being used, the
logind handles these events and performs the specific action.

During hibernation, the first stage is to freeze the userspace. Hence
even if the power button is pressed, it doesn't aborts the hibernation
as user space daemon is frozen.

My device takes ~19 seconds to hibernate. When I was testing hibernation
using rtcwake with timeout of 10 seconds, I found out that hibernation
gets canceled around 10 seconds mark when the interrupt fires.

In this series, the idea is to find a way to cancel the hibernation.
With this series applied, the hibernation gets cancelled gracefully.

The hibernation cancellation support isn't present in very last stage
just before power_down(). I've not been able to handle the error paths
correctly there yet as logs aren't available from that stage. I'll send
that patch separately when it works.
