vfio/pci: Move the unused device into low power state with runtime PM
Currently, there is very limited power management support
available in the upstream vfio_pci_core based drivers. If there
are no users of the device, then the PCI device will be moved into
D3hot state by writing directly into PCI PM registers. This D3hot
state help in saving power but we can achieve zero power consumption
if we go into the D3cold state. The D3cold state cannot be possible
with native PCI PM. It requires interaction with platform firmware
which is system-specific. To go into low power states (including D3cold),
the runtime PM framework can be used which internally interacts with PCI
and platform firmware and puts the device into the lowest possible
D-States.
This patch registers vfio_pci_core based drivers with the
runtime PM framework.
1. The PCI core framework takes care of most of the runtime PM
related things. For enabling the runtime PM, the PCI driver needs to
decrement the usage count and needs to provide 'struct dev_pm_ops'
at least. The runtime suspend/resume callbacks are optional and needed
only if we need to do any extra handling. Now there are multiple
vfio_pci_core based drivers. Instead of assigning the
'struct dev_pm_ops' in individual parent driver, the vfio_pci_core
itself assigns the 'struct dev_pm_ops'. There are other drivers where
the 'struct dev_pm_ops' is being assigned inside core layer
(For example, wlcore_probe() and some sound based driver, etc.).
2. This patch provides the stub implementation of 'struct dev_pm_ops'.
The subsequent patch will provide the runtime suspend/resume
callbacks. All the config state saving, and PCI power management
related things will be done by PCI core framework itself inside its
runtime suspend/resume callbacks (pci_pm_runtime_suspend() and
pci_pm_runtime_resume()).
3. Inside pci_reset_bus(), all the devices in dev_set needs to be
runtime resumed. vfio_pci_dev_set_pm_runtime_get() will take
care of the runtime resume and its error handling.
4. Inside vfio_pci_core_disable(), the device usage count always needs
to be decremented which was incremented in vfio_pci_core_enable().
5. Since the runtime PM framework will provide the same functionality,
so directly writing into PCI PM config register can be replaced with
the use of runtime PM routines. Also, the use of runtime PM can help
us in more power saving.
In the systems which do not support D3cold,
With the existing implementation:
// PCI device
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state
D3hot
// upstream bridge
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state
D0
With runtime PM:
// PCI device
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state
D3hot
// upstream bridge
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state
D3hot
So, with runtime PM, the upstream bridge or root port will also go
into lower power state which is not possible with existing
implementation.
In the systems which support D3cold,
// PCI device
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state
D3hot
// upstream bridge
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state
D0
With runtime PM:
// PCI device
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state
D3cold
// upstream bridge
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state
D3cold
So, with runtime PM, both the PCI device and upstream bridge will
go into D3cold state.
6. If 'disable_idle_d3' module parameter is set, then also the runtime
PM will be enabled, but in this case, the usage count should not be
decremented.
7. vfio_pci_dev_set_try_reset() return value is unused now, so this
function return type can be changed to void.
8. Use the runtime PM API's in vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure().
The device can be in low power state either with runtime
power management (when there is no user) or PCI_PM_CTRL register
write by the user. In both the cases, the PF should be moved to
D0 state. For preventing any runtime usage mismatch, pci_num_vf()
has been called explicitly during disable.
