-devices. For general description of the kernel's interfaces related to device
-power management refer to Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst and

-1. Hardware and Platform Support for PCI Power Management
-=========================================================
-
-1.1. Native and Platform-Based Power Management
------------------------------------------------
-In general, power management is a feature allowing one to save energy by putting
-devices into states in which they draw less power (low-power states) at the
-price of reduced functionality or performance.
-
-Usually, a device is put into a low-power state when it is underutilized or
-completely inactive. However, when it is necessary to use the device once
-again, it has to be put back into the "fully functional" state (full-power
-state). This may happen when there are some data for the device to handle or
-as a result of an external event requiring the device to be active, which may
-be signaled by the device itself.
-
-PCI devices may be put into low-power states in two ways, by using the device
-capabilities introduced by the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification,
-or with the help of platform firmware, such as an ACPI BIOS. In the first
-approach, that is referred to as the native PCI power management (native PCI PM)
-in what follows, the device power state is changed as a result of writing a
-specific value into one of its standard configuration registers. The second
-approach requires the platform firmware to provide special methods that may be
-used by the kernel to change the device's power state.
-
-Devices supporting the native PCI PM usually can generate wakeup signals called
-Power Management Events (PMEs) to let the kernel know about external events
-requiring the device to be active. After receiving a PME the kernel is supposed
-to put the device that sent it into the full-power state. However, the PCI Bus
-Power Management Interface Specification doesn't define any standard method of
-delivering the PME from the device to the CPU and the operating system kernel.
-It is assumed that the platform firmware will perform this task and therefore,
-even though a PCI device is set up to generate PMEs, it also may be necessary to
-prepare the platform firmware for notifying the CPU of the PMEs coming from the
-device (e.g. by generating interrupts).
-
-In turn, if the methods provided by the platform firmware are used for changing
-the power state of a device, usually the platform also provides a method for
-preparing the device to generate wakeup signals. In that case, however, it
-often also is necessary to prepare the device for generating PMEs using the
-native PCI PM mechanism, because the method provided by the platform depends on
-that.
-
-Thus in many situations both the native and the platform-based power management
-mechanisms have to be used simultaneously to obtain the desired result.
-
-1.2. Native PCI Power Management
---------------------------------
-The PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification (PCI PM Spec) was
-introduced between the PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 Specifications. It defined a
-standard interface for performing various operations related to power
-management.
-
-The implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional for conventional PCI devices,
-but it is mandatory for PCI Express devices. If a device supports the PCI PM
-Spec, it has an 8 byte power management capability field in its PCI
-configuration space. This field is used to describe and control the standard
-features related to the native PCI power management.
-
-The PCI PM Spec defines 4 operating states for devices (D0-D3) and for buses
-(B0-B3). The higher the number, the less power is drawn by the device or bus
-in that state. However, the higher the number, the longer the latency for
-the device or bus to return to the full-power state (D0 or B0, respectively).
-
-There are two variants of the D3 state defined by the specification. The first
-one is D3hot, referred to as the software accessible D3, because devices can be
-programmed to go into it. The second one, D3cold, is the state that PCI devices
-are in when the supply voltage (Vcc) is removed from them. It is not possible
-to program a PCI device to go into D3cold, although there may be a programmable
-interface for putting the bus the device is on into a state in which Vcc is
-removed from all devices on the bus.
-
-PCI bus power management, however, is not supported by the Linux kernel at the
-time of this writing and therefore it is not covered by this document.
-
-Note that every PCI device can be in the full-power state (D0) or in D3cold,
-regardless of whether or not it implements the PCI PM Spec. In addition to
-that, if the PCI PM Spec is implemented by the device, it must support D3hot
-as well as D0. The support for the D1 and D2 power states is optional.
-
-PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to go to any of the
-supported low-power states (except for D3cold). While in D1-D3hot the
-standard configuration registers of the device must be accessible to software
-(i.e. the device is required to respond to PCI configuration accesses), although
-its I/O and memory spaces are then disabled. This allows the device to be
-programmatically put into D0. Thus the kernel can switch the device back and
-forth between D0 and the supported low-power states (except for D3cold) and the
-possible power state transitions the device can undergo are the following:
-
-+----------------------------+
-| Current State | New State |
-+----------------------------+
-| D0 | D1, D2, D3 |
-+----------------------------+
-| D1 | D2, D3 |
-+----------------------------+
-| D2 | D3 |
-+----------------------------+
-| D1, D2, D3 | D0 |
-+----------------------------+
-
-The transition from D3cold to D0 occurs when the supply voltage is provided to
-the device (i.e. power is restored). In that case the device returns to D0 with
-a full power-on reset sequence and the power-on defaults are restored to the
-device by hardware just as at initial power up.
-
-PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to generate PMEs
-while in a low-power state (D1-D3), but they are not required to be capable
-of generating PMEs from all supported low-power states. In particular, the
-capability of generating PMEs from D3cold is optional and depends on the
-presence of additional voltage (3.3Vaux) allowing the device to remain
-sufficiently active to generate a wakeup signal.
-
-1.3. ACPI Device Power Management
----------------------------------
-The platform firmware support for the power management of PCI devices is
-system-specific. However, if the system in question is compliant with the
-Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, like the
-majority of x86-based systems, it is supposed to implement device power
-management interfaces defined by the ACPI standard.
-
-For this purpose the ACPI BIOS provides special functions called "control
-methods" that may be executed by the kernel to perform specific tasks, such as
-putting a device into a low-power state. These control methods are encoded
-using special byte-code language called the ACPI Machine Language (AML) and
-stored in the machine's BIOS. The kernel loads them from the BIOS and executes
-them as needed using an AML interpreter that translates the AML byte code into
-computations and memory or I/O space accesses. This way, in theory, a BIOS
-writer can provide the kernel with a means to perform actions depending
-on the system design in a system-specific fashion.
-
-ACPI control methods may be divided into global control methods, that are not
-associated with any particular devices, and device control methods, that have
-to be defined separately for each device supposed to be handled with the help of
-the platform. This means, in particular, that ACPI device control methods can
-only be used to handle devices that the BIOS writer knew about in advance. The
-ACPI methods used for device power management fall into that category.
-
-The ACPI specification assumes that devices can be in one of four power states
-labeled as D0, D1, D2, and D3 that roughly correspond to the native PCI PM
-D0-D3 states (although the difference between D3hot and D3cold is not taken
-into account by ACPI). Moreover, for each power state of a device there is a
-set of power resources that have to be enabled for the device to be put into
-that state. These power resources are controlled (i.e. enabled or disabled)
-with the help of their own control methods, _ON and _OFF, that have to be
-defined individually for each of them.
-
-To put a device into the ACPI power state Dx (where x is a number between 0 and
-3 inclusive) the kernel is supposed to (1) enable the power resources required
-by the device in this state using their _ON control methods and (2) execute the
-_PSx control method defined for the device. In addition to that, if the device
-is going to be put into a low-power state (D1-D3) and is supposed to generate
-wakeup signals from that state, the _DSW (or _PSW, replaced with _DSW by ACPI
-3.0) control method defined for it has to be executed before _PSx. Power
-resources that are not required by the device in the target power state and are
-not required any more by any other device should be disabled (by executing their
-_OFF control methods). If the current power state of the device is D3, it can
-only be put into D0 this way.
-
-However, quite often the power states of devices are changed during a
-system-wide transition into a sleep state or back into the working state. ACPI
-defines four system sleep states, S1, S2, S3, and S4, and denotes the system
-working state as S0. In general, the target system sleep (or working) state
-determines the highest power (lowest number) state the device can be put
-into and the kernel is supposed to obtain this information by executing the
-device's _SxD control method (where x is a number between 0 and 4 inclusive).
-If the device is required to wake up the system from the target sleep state, the
-lowest power (highest number) state it can be put into is also determined by the
-target state of the system. The kernel is then supposed to use the device's
-_SxW control method to obtain the number of that state. It also is supposed to
-use the device's _PRW control method to learn which power resources need to be
-enabled for the device to be able to generate wakeup signals.
-
-1.4. Wakeup Signaling
----------------------
-Wakeup signals generated by PCI devices, either as native PCI PMEs, or as
-a result of the execution of the _DSW (or _PSW) ACPI control method before
-putting the device into a low-power state, have to be caught and handled as
-appropriate. If they are sent while the system is in the working state
-(ACPI S0), they should be translated into interrupts so that the kernel can
-put the devices generating them into the full-power state and take care of the
-events that triggered them. In turn, if they are sent while the system is
-sleeping, they should cause the system's core logic to trigger wakeup.
-
-On ACPI-based systems wakeup signals sent by conventional PCI devices are
-converted into ACPI General-Purpose Events (GPEs) which are hardware signals
-from the system core logic generated in response to various events that need to
-be acted upon. Every GPE is associated with one or more sources of potentially
-interesting events. In particular, a GPE may be associated with a PCI device
-capable of signaling wakeup. The information on the connections between GPEs
-and event sources is recorded in the system's ACPI BIOS from where it can be
-read by the kernel.
-
-If a PCI device known to the system's ACPI BIOS signals wakeup, the GPE
-associated with it (if there is one) is triggered. The GPEs associated with PCI
-bridges may also be triggered in response to a wakeup signal from one of the
-devices below the bridge (this also is the case for root bridges) and, for
-example, native PCI PMEs from devices unknown to the system's ACPI BIOS may be
-handled this way.
-
-A GPE may be triggered when the system is sleeping (i.e. when it is in one of
-the ACPI S1-S4 states), in which case system wakeup is started by its core logic
-(the device that was the source of the signal causing the system wakeup to occur
-may be identified later). The GPEs used in such situations are referred to as
-wakeup GPEs.
-
-Usually, however, GPEs are also triggered when the system is in the working
-state (ACPI S0) and in that case the system's core logic generates a System
-Control Interrupt (SCI) to notify the kernel of the event. Then, the SCI
-handler identifies the GPE that caused the interrupt to be generated which,
-in turn, allows the kernel to identify the source of the event (that may be
-a PCI device signaling wakeup). The GPEs used for notifying the kernel of
-events occurring while the system is in the working state are referred to as
-runtime GPEs.
-
-Unfortunately, there is no standard way of handling wakeup signals sent by
-conventional PCI devices on systems that are not ACPI-based, but there is one
-for PCI Express devices. Namely, the PCI Express Base Specification introduced
-a native mechanism for converting native PCI PMEs into interrupts generated by
-root ports. For conventional PCI devices native PMEs are out-of-band, so they
-are routed separately and they need not pass through bridges (in principle they
-may be routed directly to the system's core logic), but for PCI Express devices
-they are in-band messages that have to pass through the PCI Express hierarchy,
-including the root port on the path from the device to the Root Complex. Thus
-it was possible to introduce a mechanism by which a root port generates an
-interrupt whenever it receives a PME message from one of the devices below it.
-The PCI Express Requester ID of the device that sent the PME message is then
-recorded in one of the root port's configuration registers from where it may be
-read by the interrupt handler allowing the device to be identified. [PME
-messages sent by PCI Express endpoints integrated with the Root Complex don't
-pass through root ports, but instead they cause a Root Complex Event Collector
-(if there is one) to generate interrupts.]
-
-In principle the native PCI Express PME signaling may also be used on ACPI-based
-systems along with the GPEs, but to use it the kernel has to ask the system's
-ACPI BIOS to release control of root port configuration registers. The ACPI
-BIOS, however, is not required to allow the kernel to control these registers
-and if it doesn't do that, the kernel must not modify their contents. Of course
-the native PCI Express PME signaling cannot be used by the kernel in that case.
-
-
-2. PCI Subsystem and Device Power Management
-============================================
-
-2.1. Device Power Management Callbacks
---------------------------------------
-The PCI Subsystem participates in the power management of PCI devices in a
-number of ways. First of all, it provides an intermediate code layer between
-the device power management core (PM core) and PCI device drivers.
-Specifically, the pm field of the PCI subsystem's struct bus_type object,
-pci_bus_type, points to a struct dev_pm_ops object, pci_dev_pm_ops, containing
-pointers to several device power management callbacks:
-
-const struct dev_pm_ops pci_dev_pm_ops = {
- .prepare = pci_pm_prepare,
- .complete = pci_pm_complete,
- .suspend = pci_pm_suspend,
- .resume = pci_pm_resume,
- .freeze = pci_pm_freeze,
- .thaw = pci_pm_thaw,
- .poweroff = pci_pm_poweroff,
- .restore = pci_pm_restore,
- .suspend_noirq = pci_pm_suspend_noirq,
- .resume_noirq = pci_pm_resume_noirq,
- .freeze_noirq = pci_pm_freeze_noirq,
- .thaw_noirq = pci_pm_thaw_noirq,
- .poweroff_noirq = pci_pm_poweroff_noirq,
- .restore_noirq = pci_pm_restore_noirq,
- .runtime_suspend = pci_pm_runtime_suspend,
- .runtime_resume = pci_pm_runtime_resume,
- .runtime_idle = pci_pm_runtime_idle,
-};
-
-These callbacks are executed by the PM core in various situations related to
-device power management and they, in turn, execute power management callbacks
-provided by PCI device drivers. They also perform power management operations
-involving some standard configuration registers of PCI devices that device
-drivers need not know or care about.
-
-The structure representing a PCI device, struct pci_dev, contains several fields
-that these callbacks operate on:
-
-struct pci_dev {
- ...
- pci_power_t current_state; /* Current operating state. */
- int pm_cap; /* PM capability offset in the
- configuration space */
- unsigned int pme_support:5; /* Bitmask of states from which PME#
- can be generated */
- unsigned int pme_interrupt:1;/* Is native PCIe PME signaling used? */
- unsigned int d1_support:1; /* Low power state D1 is supported */
- unsigned int d2_support:1; /* Low power state D2 is supported */
- unsigned int no_d1d2:1; /* D1 and D2 are forbidden */
- unsigned int wakeup_prepared:1; /* Device prepared for wake up */
- unsigned int d3_delay; /* D3->D0 transition time in ms */
- ...
-};
-
-They also indirectly use some fields of the struct device that is embedded in
-struct pci_dev.
-
-2.2. Device Initialization
---------------------------
-The PCI subsystem's first task related to device power management is to
-prepare the device for power management and initialize the fields of struct
-pci_dev used for this purpose. This happens in two functions defined in
-drivers/pci/pci.c, pci_pm_init() and platform_pci_wakeup_init().
-
-The first of these functions checks if the device supports native PCI PM
-and if that's the case the offset of its power management capability structure
-in the configuration space is stored in the pm_cap field of the device's struct
-pci_dev object. Next, the function checks which PCI low-power states are
-supported by the device and from which low-power states the device can generate
-native PCI PMEs. The power management fields of the device's struct pci_dev and
-the struct device embedded in it are updated accordingly and the generation of
-PMEs by the device is disabled.
-
-The second function checks if the device can be prepared to signal wakeup with
-the help of the platform firmware, such as the ACPI BIOS. If that is the case,
-the function updates the wakeup fields in struct device embedded in the
-device's struct pci_dev and uses the firmware-provided method to prevent the
-device from signaling wakeup.
-
-At this point the device is ready for power management. For driverless devices,
-however, this functionality is limited to a few basic operations carried out
-during system-wide transitions to a sleep state and back to the working state.
-
-2.3. Runtime Device Power Management
-------------------------------------
-The PCI subsystem plays a vital role in the runtime power management of PCI
-devices. For this purpose it uses the general runtime power management
-(runtime PM) framework described in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
-Namely, it provides subsystem-level callbacks:
-
- pci_pm_runtime_suspend()
- pci_pm_runtime_resume()
- pci_pm_runtime_idle()
-
-that are executed by the core runtime PM routines. It also implements the
-entire mechanics necessary for handling runtime wakeup signals from PCI devices
-in low-power states, which at the time of this writing works for both the native
-PCI Express PME signaling and the ACPI GPE-based wakeup signaling described in
-Section 1.
-
-First, a PCI device is put into a low-power state, or suspended, with the help
-of pm_schedule_suspend() or pm_runtime_suspend() which for PCI devices call
-pci_pm_runtime_suspend() to do the actual job. For this to work, the device's
-driver has to provide a pm->runtime_suspend() callback (see below), which is
-run by pci_pm_runtime_suspend() as the first action. If the driver's callback
-returns successfully, the device's standard configuration registers are saved,
-the device is prepared to generate wakeup signals and, finally, it is put into
-the target low-power state.
-
-The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number)
-state from which it can signal wakeup. The exact method of signaling wakeup is
-system-dependent and is determined by the PCI subsystem on the basis of the
-reported capabilities of the device and the platform firmware. To prepare the
-device for signaling wakeup and put it into the selected low-power state, the
-PCI subsystem can use the platform firmware as well as the device's native PCI
-PM capabilities, if supported.
-
-It is expected that the device driver's pm->runtime_suspend() callback will
-not attempt to prepare the device for signaling wakeup or to put it into a
-low-power state. The driver ought to leave these tasks to the PCI subsystem
-that has all of the information necessary to perform them.
-
-A suspended device is brought back into the "active" state, or resumed,
-with the help of pm_request_resume() or pm_runtime_resume() which both call
-pci_pm_runtime_resume() for PCI devices. Again, this only works if the device's
-driver provides a pm->runtime_resume() callback (see below). However, before
-the driver's callback is executed, pci_pm_runtime_resume() brings the device
-back into the full-power state, prevents it from signaling wakeup while in that
-state and restores its standard configuration registers. Thus the driver's
-callback need not worry about the PCI-specific aspects of the device resume.
-
-Note that generally pci_pm_runtime_resume() may be called in two different
-situations. First, it may be called at the request of the device's driver, for
-example if there are some data for it to process. Second, it may be called
-as a result of a wakeup signal from the device itself (this sometimes is
-referred to as "remote wakeup"). Of course, for this purpose the wakeup signal
-is handled in one of the ways described in Section 1 and finally converted into
-a notification for the PCI subsystem after the source device has been
-identified.
-
-The pci_pm_runtime_idle() function, called for PCI devices by pm_runtime_idle()
-and pm_request_idle(), executes the device driver's pm->runtime_idle()
-callback, if defined, and if that callback doesn't return error code (or is not
-present at all), suspends the device with the help of pm_runtime_suspend().
-Sometimes pci_pm_runtime_idle() is called automatically by the PM core (for
-example, it is called right after the device has just been resumed), in which
-cases it is expected to suspend the device if that makes sense. Usually,
-however, the PCI subsystem doesn't really know if the device really can be
-suspended, so it lets the device's driver decide by running its
-pm->runtime_idle() callback.
-
-2.4. System-Wide Power Transitions
-----------------------------------
-There are a few different types of system-wide power transitions, described in
-Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst. Each of them requires devices to be handled
-in a specific way and the PM core executes subsystem-level power management
-callbacks for this purpose. They are executed in phases such that each phase
-involves executing the same subsystem-level callback for every device belonging
-to the given subsystem before the next phase begins. These phases always run
-after tasks have been frozen.
-
-2.4.1. System Suspend
-
-When the system is going into a sleep state in which the contents of memory will
-be preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states S1-S3, the phases are:
-
- prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq.
-
-The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are used in these phases:
-
- pci_pm_prepare()
- pci_pm_suspend()
- pci_pm_suspend_noirq()
-
-The pci_pm_prepare() routine first puts the device into the "fully functional"
-state with the help of pm_runtime_resume(). Then, it executes the device
-driver's pm->prepare() callback if defined (i.e. if the driver's struct
-dev_pm_ops object is present and the prepare pointer in that object is valid).
-
-The pci_pm_suspend() routine first checks if the device's driver implements
-legacy PCI suspend routines (see Section 3), in which case the driver's legacy
-suspend callback is executed, if present, and its result is returned. Next, if
-the device's driver doesn't provide a struct dev_pm_ops object (containing
-pointers to the driver's callbacks), pci_pm_default_suspend() is called, which
-simply turns off the device's bus master capability and runs
-pcibios_disable_device() to disable it, unless the device is a bridge (PCI
-bridges are ignored by this routine). Next, the device driver's pm->suspend()
-callback is executed, if defined, and its result is returned if it fails.
-Finally, pci_fixup_device() is called to apply hardware suspend quirks related
-to the device if necessary.
-
-Note that the suspend phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, so
-the pci_pm_suspend() callback may be executed in parallel for any pair of PCI
-devices that don't depend on each other in a known way (i.e. none of the paths
-in the device tree from the root bridge to a leaf device contains both of them).
-
-The pci_pm_suspend_noirq() routine is executed after suspend_device_irqs() has
-been called, which means that the device driver's interrupt handler won't be
-invoked while this routine is running. It first checks if the device's driver
-implements legacy PCI suspends routines (Section 3), in which case the legacy
-late suspend routine is called and its result is returned (the standard
-configuration registers of the device are saved if the driver's callback hasn't
-done that). Second, if the device driver's struct dev_pm_ops object is not
-present, the device's standard configuration registers are saved and the routine
-returns success. Otherwise the device driver's pm->suspend_noirq() callback is
-executed, if present, and its result is returned if it fails. Next, if the
-device's standard configuration registers haven't been saved yet (one of the
-device driver's callbacks executed before might do that), pci_pm_suspend_noirq()
-saves them, prepares the device to signal wakeup (if necessary) and puts it into
-a low-power state.
-
-The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number)
-state from which it can signal wakeup while the system is in the target sleep
-state. Just like in the runtime PM case described above, the mechanism of
-signaling wakeup is system-dependent and determined by the PCI subsystem, which
-is also responsible for preparing the device to signal wakeup from the system's
-target sleep state as appropriate.
-
-PCI device drivers (that don't implement legacy power management callbacks) are
-generally not expected to prepare devices for signaling wakeup or to put them
-into low-power states. However, if one of the driver's suspend callbacks
-(pm->suspend() or pm->suspend_noirq()) saves the device's standard configuration
-registers, pci_pm_suspend_noirq() will assume that the device has been prepared
-to signal wakeup and put into a low-power state by the driver (the driver is
-then assumed to have used the helper functions provided by the PCI subsystem for
-this purpose). PCI device drivers are not encouraged to do that, but in some
-rare cases doing that in the driver may be the optimum approach.
-
-2.4.2. System Resume
-
-When the system is undergoing a transition from a sleep state in which the
-contents of memory have been preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states
-S1-S3, into the working state (ACPI S0), the phases are:
-
- resume_noirq, resume, complete.
-
-The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are executed in these
-phases:
-
- pci_pm_resume_noirq()
- pci_pm_resume()
- pci_pm_complete()
-
-The pci_pm_resume_noirq() routine first puts the device into the full-power
-state, restores its standard configuration registers and applies early resume
-hardware quirks related to the device, if necessary. This is done
-unconditionally, regardless of whether or not the device's driver implements
-legacy PCI power management callbacks (this way all PCI devices are in the
-full-power state and their standard configuration registers have been restored
-when their interrupt handlers are invoked for the first time during resume,
-which allows the kernel to avoid problems with the handling of shared interrupts
-by drivers whose devices are still suspended). If legacy PCI power management
-callbacks (see Section 3) are implemented by the device's driver, the legacy
-early resume callback is executed and its result is returned. Otherwise, the
-device driver's pm->resume_noirq() callback is executed, if defined, and its
-result is returned.
-
-The pci_pm_resume() routine first checks if the device's standard configuration
-registers have been restored and restores them if that's not the case (this
-only is necessary in the error path during a failing suspend). Next, resume
-hardware quirks related to the device are applied, if necessary, and if the
-device's driver implements legacy PCI power management callbacks (see
-Section 3), the driver's legacy resume callback is executed and its result is
-returned. Otherwise, the device's wakeup signaling mechanisms are blocked and
-its driver's pm->resume() callback is executed, if defined (the callback's
-result is then returned).
-
-The resume phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, like the
-suspend phase described above, which means that if two PCI devices don't depend
-on each other in a known way, the pci_pm_resume() routine may be executed for
-the both of them in parallel.
-
-The pci_pm_complete() routine only executes the device driver's pm->complete()
-callback, if defined.
-
-2.4.3. System Hibernation
-
-System hibernation is more complicated than system suspend, because it requires
-a system image to be created and written into a persistent storage medium. The
-image is created atomically and all devices are quiesced, or frozen, before that
-happens.
-
-The freezing of devices is carried out after enough memory has been freed (at
-the time of this writing the image creation requires at least 50% of system RAM
-to be free) in the following three phases:
-
- prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq
-
-that correspond to the PCI bus type's callbacks:
-
- pci_pm_prepare()
- pci_pm_freeze()
- pci_pm_freeze_noirq()
-
-This means that the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend.
-The other two phases, however, are different.
-
-The pci_pm_freeze() routine is quite similar to pci_pm_suspend(), but it runs
-the device driver's pm->freeze() callback, if defined, instead of pm->suspend(),
-and it doesn't apply the suspend-related hardware quirks. It is executed
-asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a
-known way.
-
-The pci_pm_freeze_noirq() routine, in turn, is similar to
-pci_pm_suspend_noirq(), but it calls the device driver's pm->freeze_noirq()
-routine instead of pm->suspend_noirq(). It also doesn't attempt to prepare the
-device for signaling wakeup and put it into a low-power state. Still, it saves
-the device's standard configuration registers if they haven't been saved by one
-of the driver's callbacks.
-
-Once the image has been created, it has to be saved. However, at this point all
-devices are frozen and they cannot handle I/O, while their ability to handle
-I/O is obviously necessary for the image saving. Thus they have to be brought
-back to the fully functional state and this is done in the following phases:
-
- thaw_noirq, thaw, complete
-
-using the following PCI bus type's callbacks:
-
- pci_pm_thaw_noirq()
- pci_pm_thaw()
- pci_pm_complete()
-
-respectively.
-
-The first of them, pci_pm_thaw_noirq(), is analogous to pci_pm_resume_noirq(),
-but it doesn't put the device into the full power state and doesn't attempt to
-restore its standard configuration registers. It also executes the device
-driver's pm->thaw_noirq() callback, if defined, instead of pm->resume_noirq().
-
-The pci_pm_thaw() routine is similar to pci_pm_resume(), but it runs the device
-driver's pm->thaw() callback instead of pm->resume(). It is executed
-asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a
-known way.
-
-The complete phase it the same as for system resume.
-
-After saving the image, devices need to be powered down before the system can
-enter the target sleep state (ACPI S4 for ACPI-based systems). This is done in
-three phases:
-
- prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq
-
-where the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. The other
-two phases are analogous to the suspend and suspend_noirq phases, respectively.
-The PCI subsystem-level callbacks they correspond to
-
- pci_pm_poweroff()
- pci_pm_poweroff_noirq()
-
-work in analogy with pci_pm_suspend() and pci_pm_poweroff_noirq(), respectively,
-although they don't attempt to save the device's standard configuration
-registers.
-
-2.4.4. System Restore
-
-System restore requires a hibernation image to be loaded into memory and the
-pre-hibernation memory contents to be restored before the pre-hibernation system
-activity can be resumed.
-
-As described in Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, the hibernation image is loaded
-into memory by a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, which in
-turn is loaded and run by a boot loader in the usual way. After the boot kernel
-has loaded the image, it needs to replace its own code and data with the code
-and data of the "hibernated" kernel stored within the image, called the image
-kernel. For this purpose all devices are frozen just like before creating
-the image during hibernation, in the
-
- prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq
-
-phases described above. However, the devices affected by these phases are only
-those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in whatever
-state the boot loader left them.
-
-Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot
-kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the
-thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases (that will only affect the devices having
-drivers in the boot kernel), and then continue running normally.
-
-If the pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully, which is the
-usual situation, control is passed to the image kernel, which then becomes
-responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. To achieve this,
-it must restore the devices' pre-hibernation functionality, which is done much
-like waking up from the memory sleep state, although it involves different
-phases:
-
- restore_noirq, restore, complete
-
-The first two of these are analogous to the resume_noirq and resume phases
-described above, respectively, and correspond to the following PCI subsystem
-callbacks:
-
- pci_pm_restore_noirq()
- pci_pm_restore()
-
-These callbacks work in analogy with pci_pm_resume_noirq() and pci_pm_resume(),
-respectively, but they execute the device driver's pm->restore_noirq() and
-pm->restore() callbacks, if available.
-
-The complete phase is carried out in exactly the same way as during system
-resume.
-
-
-3. PCI Device Drivers and Power Management
-==========================================
-
-3.1. Power Management Callbacks
--------------------------------
-PCI device drivers participate in power management by providing callbacks to be
-executed by the PCI subsystem's power management routines described above and by
-controlling the runtime power management of their devices.
-
-At the time of this writing there are two ways to define power management
-callbacks for a PCI device driver, the recommended one, based on using a
-dev_pm_ops structure described in Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, and the
-"legacy" one, in which the .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), and
-.resume() callbacks from struct pci_driver are used. The legacy approach,
-however, doesn't allow one to define runtime power management callbacks and is
-not really suitable for any new drivers. Therefore it is not covered by this
-document (refer to the source code to learn more about it).
-
-It is recommended that all PCI device drivers define a struct dev_pm_ops object
-containing pointers to power management (PM) callbacks that will be executed by
-the PCI subsystem's PM routines in various circumstances. A pointer to the
-driver's struct dev_pm_ops object has to be assigned to the driver.pm field in
-its struct pci_driver object. Once that has happened, the "legacy" PM callbacks
-in struct pci_driver are ignored (even if they are not NULL).
-
-The PM callbacks in struct dev_pm_ops are not mandatory and if they are not
-defined (i.e. the respective fields of struct dev_pm_ops are unset) the PCI
-subsystem will handle the device in a simplified default manner. If they are
-defined, though, they are expected to behave as described in the following
-subsections.
-
-3.1.1. prepare()
-
-The prepare() callback is executed during system suspend, during hibernation
-(when a hibernation image is about to be created), during power-off after
-saving a hibernation image and during system restore, when a hibernation image
-has just been loaded into memory.
-
-This callback is only necessary if the driver's device has children that in
-general may be registered at any time. In that case the role of the prepare()
-callback is to prevent new children of the device from being registered until
-one of the resume_noirq(), thaw_noirq(), or restore_noirq() callbacks is run.
-
-In addition to that the prepare() callback may carry out some operations
-preparing the device to be suspended, although it should not allocate memory
-(if additional memory is required to suspend the device, it has to be
-preallocated earlier, for example in a suspend/hibernate notifier as described
-in Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst).
-
-3.1.2. suspend()
-
-The suspend() callback is only executed during system suspend, after prepare()
-callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system.
-
-This callback is expected to quiesce the device and prepare it to be put into a
-low-power state by the PCI subsystem. It is not required (in fact it even is
-not recommended) that a PCI driver's suspend() callback save the standard
-configuration registers of the device, prepare it for waking up the system, or
-put it into a low-power state. All of these operations can very well be taken
-care of by the PCI subsystem, without the driver's participation.
-
-However, in some rare case it is convenient to carry out these operations in
-a PCI driver. Then, pci_save_state(), pci_prepare_to_sleep(), and
-pci_set_power_state() should be used to save the device's standard configuration
-registers, to prepare it for system wakeup (if necessary), and to put it into a
-low-power state, respectively. Moreover, if the driver calls pci_save_state(),
-the PCI subsystem will not execute either pci_prepare_to_sleep(), or
-pci_set_power_state() for its device, so the driver is then responsible for
-handling the device as appropriate.
-
-While the suspend() callback is being executed, the driver's interrupt handler
-can be invoked to handle an interrupt from the device, so all suspend-related
-operations relying on the driver's ability to handle interrupts should be
-carried out in this callback.
-
-3.1.3. suspend_noirq()
-
-The suspend_noirq() callback is only executed during system suspend, after
-suspend() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
-after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core.
-
-The difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend() is that the driver's
-interrupt handler will not be invoked while suspend_noirq() is running. Thus
-suspend_noirq() can carry out operations that would cause race conditions to
-arise if they were performed in suspend().
-
-3.1.4. freeze()
-
-The freeze() callback is hibernation-specific and is executed in two situations,
-during hibernation, after prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices
-in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore,
-after a system image has been loaded into memory from persistent storage and the
-prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices.
-
-The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() callback
-described above. In fact, they only need to be different in the rare cases when
-the driver takes the responsibility for putting the device into a low-power
-state.
-
-In that cases the freeze() callback should not prepare the device system wakeup
-or put it into a low-power state. Still, either it or freeze_noirq() should
-save the device's standard configuration registers using pci_save_state().
-
-3.1.5. freeze_noirq()
-
-The freeze_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed during
-hibernation, after prepare() and freeze() callbacks have been executed for all
-devices in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore,
-after a system image has been loaded into memory and after prepare() and
-freeze() callbacks have been executed for all devices. It is always executed
-after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core.
-
-The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq()
-callback described above and it very rarely is necessary to define
-freeze_noirq().
-
-The difference between freeze_noirq() and freeze() is analogous to the
-difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend().
-
-3.1.6. poweroff()
-
-The poweroff() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed when the system
-is about to be powered off after saving a hibernation image to a persistent
-storage. prepare() callbacks are executed for all devices before poweroff() is
-called.
-
-The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() and freeze()
-callbacks described above, although it does not need to save the contents of
-the device's registers. In particular, if the driver wants to put the device
-into a low-power state itself instead of allowing the PCI subsystem to do that,
-the poweroff() callback should use pci_prepare_to_sleep() and
-pci_set_power_state() to prepare the device for system wakeup and to put it
-into a low-power state, respectively, but it need not save the device's standard
-configuration registers.
-
-3.1.7. poweroff_noirq()
-
-The poweroff_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after
-poweroff() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system.
-
-The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() and
-freeze_noirq() callbacks described above, but it does not need to save the
-contents of the device's registers.
-
-The difference between poweroff_noirq() and poweroff() is analogous to the
-difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend().
-
-3.1.8. resume_noirq()
-
-The resume_noirq() callback is only executed during system resume, after the
-PM core has enabled the non-boot CPUs. The driver's interrupt handler will not
-be invoked while resume_noirq() is running, so this callback can carry out
-operations that might race with the interrupt handler.
-
-Since the PCI subsystem unconditionally puts all devices into the full power
-state in the resume_noirq phase of system resume and restores their standard
-configuration registers, resume_noirq() is usually not necessary. In general
-it should only be used for performing operations that would lead to race
-conditions if carried out by resume().
-
-3.1.9. resume()
-
-The resume() callback is only executed during system resume, after
-resume_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
-device interrupts have been enabled by the PM core.
-
-This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-suspend configuration of the
-device and bringing it back to the fully functional state. The device should be
-able to process I/O in a usual way after resume() has returned.
-
-3.1.10. thaw_noirq()
-
-The thaw_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after a
-system image has been created and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the PM
-core, in the thaw_noirq phase of hibernation. It also may be executed if the
-loading of a hibernation image fails during system restore (it is then executed
-after enabling the non-boot CPUs). The driver's interrupt handler will not be
-invoked while thaw_noirq() is running.
-
-The role of this callback is analogous to the role of resume_noirq(). The
-difference between these two callbacks is that thaw_noirq() is executed after
-freeze() and freeze_noirq(), so in general it does not need to modify the
-contents of the device's registers.
-
-3.1.11. thaw()
-
-The thaw() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after thaw_noirq()
-callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and after device
-interrupts have been enabled by the PM core.
-
-This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-freeze configuration of
-the device, so that it will work in a usual way after thaw() has returned.
-
-3.1.12. restore_noirq()
-
-The restore_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed in the
-restore_noirq phase of hibernation, when the boot kernel has passed control to
-the image kernel and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the image kernel's
-PM core.
-
-This callback is analogous to resume_noirq() with the exception that it cannot
-make any assumption on the previous state of the device, even if the BIOS (or
-generally the platform firmware) is known to preserve that state over a
-suspend-resume cycle.
-
-For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between
-resume_noirq() and restore_noirq().
-
-3.1.13. restore()
-
-The restore() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after
-restore_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
-after the PM core has enabled device drivers' interrupt handlers to be invoked.
-
-This callback is analogous to resume(), just like restore_noirq() is analogous
-to resume_noirq(). Consequently, the difference between restore_noirq() and
-restore() is analogous to the difference between resume_noirq() and resume().
-
-For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between
-resume() and restore().
-
-3.1.14. complete()
-
-The complete() callback is executed in the following situations:
- - during system resume, after resume() callbacks have been executed for all
- devices,
- - during hibernation, before saving the system image, after thaw() callbacks
- have been executed for all devices,
- - during system restore, when the system is going back to its pre-hibernation
- state, after restore() callbacks have been executed for all devices.
-It also may be executed if the loading of a hibernation image into memory fails
-(in that case it is run after thaw() callbacks have been executed for all
-devices that have drivers in the boot kernel).
-
-This callback is entirely optional, although it may be necessary if the
-prepare() callback performs operations that need to be reversed.
-
-3.1.15. runtime_suspend()
-
-The runtime_suspend() callback is specific to device runtime power management
-(runtime PM). It is executed by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the
-device is about to be suspended (i.e. quiesced and put into a low-power state)
-at run time.
-
-This callback is responsible for freezing the device and preparing it to be
-put into a low-power state, but it must allow the PCI subsystem to perform all
-of the PCI-specific actions necessary for suspending the device.
-
-3.1.16. runtime_resume()
-
-The runtime_resume() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed
-by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the device is about to be resumed
-(i.e. put into the full-power state and programmed to process I/O normally) at
-run time.
-
-This callback is responsible for restoring the normal functionality of the
-device after it has been put into the full-power state by the PCI subsystem.
-The device is expected to be able to process I/O in the usual way after
-runtime_resume() has returned.
-
-3.1.17. runtime_idle()
-
-The runtime_idle() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed
-by the PM core's runtime PM framework whenever it may be desirable to suspend
-the device according to the PM core's information. In particular, it is
-automatically executed right after runtime_resume() has returned in case the
-resume of the device has happened as a result of a spurious event.
-
-This callback is optional, but if it is not implemented or if it returns 0, the
-PCI subsystem will call pm_runtime_suspend() for the device, which in turn will
-cause the driver's runtime_suspend() callback to be executed.
-
-3.1.18. Pointing Multiple Callback Pointers to One Routine
-
-Although in principle each of the callbacks described in the previous
-subsections can be defined as a separate function, it often is convenient to
-point two or more members of struct dev_pm_ops to the same routine. There are
-a few convenience macros that can be used for this purpose.
-
-The SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro declares a struct dev_pm_ops object with one
-suspend routine pointed to by the .suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff()
-members and one resume routine pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and
-.restore() members. The other function pointers in this struct dev_pm_ops are
-unset.
-
-The UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro is similar to SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS, but it
-additionally sets the .runtime_resume() pointer to the same value as
-.resume() (and .thaw(), and .restore()) and the .runtime_suspend() pointer to
-the same value as .suspend() (and .freeze() and .poweroff()).
-
-The SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS can be used inside of a declaration of struct
-dev_pm_ops to indicate that one suspend routine is to be pointed to by the
-.suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() members and one resume routine is to
-be pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and .restore() members.
-
-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
-be updated directly afterwards.
-
-The DPM_FLAG_NEVER_SKIP flag prevents the PM core from using the direct-complete
-mechanism allowing device suspend/resume callbacks to be skipped if the device
-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.
-
-The DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag tells the PCI bus type that from the driver's
-perspective the device can be safely left in runtime suspend during system
-suspend. That causes pci_pm_suspend(), pci_pm_freeze() and pci_pm_poweroff()
-to skip resuming the device from runtime suspend unless there are PCI-specific
-reasons for doing that. Also, it causes pci_pm_suspend_late/noirq(),
-pci_pm_freeze_late/noirq() and pci_pm_poweroff_late/noirq() to return early
-if the device remains in runtime suspend in the beginning of the "late" phase
-of the system-wide transition under way. Moreover, if the device is in
-runtime suspend in pci_pm_resume_noirq() or pci_pm_restore_noirq(), its runtime
-power management status will be changed to "active" (as it is going to be put
-into D0 going forward), but if it is in runtime suspend in pci_pm_thaw_noirq(),
-the function will set the power.direct_complete flag for it (to make the PM core
-skip the subsequent "thaw" callbacks for it) and return.
-
-Setting the DPM_FLAG_LEAVE_SUSPENDED flag means that the driver prefers the
-device to be left in suspend after system-wide transitions to the working state.
-This flag is checked by the PM core, but the PCI bus type informs the PM core
-which devices may be left in suspend from its perspective (that happens during
-the "noirq" phase of system-wide suspend and analogous transitions) and next it
-uses the dev_pm_may_skip_resume() helper to decide whether or not to return from
-pci_pm_resume_noirq() early, as the PM core will skip the remaining resume
-callbacks for the device during the transition under way and will set its
-runtime PM status to "suspended" if dev_pm_may_skip_resume() returns "true" for
-it.
-
-3.2. Device Runtime Power Management
-------------------------------------
-In addition to providing device power management callbacks PCI device drivers
-are responsible for controlling the runtime power management (runtime PM) of
-their devices.
-
-The PCI device runtime PM is optional, but it is recommended that PCI device
-drivers implement it at least in the cases where there is a reliable way of
-verifying that the device is not used (like when the network cable is detached
-from an Ethernet adapter or there are no devices attached to a USB controller).
-
-To support the PCI runtime PM the driver first needs to implement the
-runtime_suspend() and runtime_resume() callbacks. It also may need to implement
-the runtime_idle() callback to prevent the device from being suspended again
-every time right after the runtime_resume() callback has returned
-(alternatively, the runtime_suspend() callback will have to check if the
-device should really be suspended and return -EAGAIN if that is not the case).
-
-The runtime PM of PCI devices is enabled by default by the PCI core. PCI
-device drivers do not need to enable it and should not attempt to do so.
-However, it is blocked by pci_pm_init() that runs the pm_runtime_forbid()
-helper function. In addition to that, the runtime PM usage counter of
-each PCI device is incremented by local_pci_probe() before executing the
-probe callback provided by the device's driver.
-
-If a PCI driver implements the runtime PM callbacks and intends to use the
-runtime PM framework provided by the PM core and the PCI subsystem, it needs
-to decrement the device's runtime PM usage counter in its probe callback
-function. If it doesn't do that, the counter will always be different from
-zero for the device and it will never be runtime-suspended. The simplest
-way to do that is by calling pm_runtime_put_noidle(), but if the driver
-wants to schedule an autosuspend right away, for example, it may call
-pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() instead for this purpose. Generally, it
-just needs to call a function that decrements the devices usage counter
-from its probe routine to make runtime PM work for the device.
-
-It is important to remember that the driver's runtime_suspend() callback
-may be executed right after the usage counter has been decremented, because
-user space may already have caused the pm_runtime_allow() helper function
-unblocking the runtime PM of the device to run via sysfs, so the driver must
-be prepared to cope with that.
-
-The driver itself should not call pm_runtime_allow(), though. Instead, it
-should let user space or some platform-specific code do that (user space can
-do it via sysfs as stated above), but it must be prepared to handle the
-runtime PM of the device correctly as soon as pm_runtime_allow() is called
-(which may happen at any time, even before the driver is loaded).
-
-When the driver's remove callback runs, it has to balance the decrementation
-of the device's runtime PM usage counter at the probe time. For this reason,
-if it has decremented the counter in its probe callback, it must run
-pm_runtime_get_noresume() in its remove callback. [Since the core carries
-out a runtime resume of the device and bumps up the device's usage counter
-before running the driver's remove callback, the runtime PM of the device
-is effectively disabled for the duration of the remove execution and all
-runtime PM helper functions incrementing the device's usage counter are
-then effectively equivalent to pm_runtime_get_noresume().]
-
-The runtime PM framework works by processing requests to suspend or resume
-devices, or to check if they are idle (in which cases it is reasonable to
-subsequently request that they be suspended). These requests are represented
-by work items put into the power management workqueue, pm_wq. Although there
-are a few situations in which power management requests are automatically
-queued by the PM core (for example, after processing a request to resume a
-device the PM core automatically queues a request to check if the device is
-idle), device drivers are generally responsible for queuing power management
-requests for their devices. For this purpose they should use the runtime PM
-helper functions provided by the PM core, discussed in
-Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
-
-Devices can also be suspended and resumed synchronously, without placing a
-request into pm_wq. In the majority of cases this also is done by their
-drivers that use helper functions provided by the PM core for this purpose.
-
-For more information on the runtime PM of devices refer to
-Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
