When a suspend request -fails, all suspended devices are resumed and the system continues -to run. Suspend can be retried at a later time. - -Q: Can the driver block suspend/resume requests? - -Yes, a driver can delay its return from a suspend or resume -request until the device is ready to handle requests. It -is advantageous to return as quickly as possible from a -request as suspend/resume are done serially. - -Q: What context is a suspend/resume initiated from? - -A suspend or resume is initiated from a kernel thread context. -It is safe to block, allocate memory, initiate requests -or anything else you can do within the kernel. - -Q: Will requests continue to arrive after a suspend? - -Possibly. It is the driver's responsibility to queue(*), -fail, or drop any requests that arrive after returning -success to a suspend request. It is important that the -driver not access its device until after it receives -a resume request as the device's bus may no longer -be active. - -(*) If a driver queues requests for processing after - resume be aware that the device, network, etc. - might be in a different state than at suspend time. - It's probably better to drop requests unless - the driver is a storage device. - -Q: Do I have to manage bus-specific power management registers - -No. It is the responsibility of the bus driver to manage -PCI, USB, etc. power management registers. The bus driver -or the power management subsystem will also enable any -wake-on functionality that the device has. - -Q: So, really, what do I need to do to support suspend/resume? - -You need to save any device context that would -be lost if the device was powered off and then restore -it at resume time. When ACPI is active, there are -three levels of device suspend states; D1, D2, and D3. -(The suspend state is passed as the "data" argument -to the device callback.) With D3, the device is powered -off and loses all context, D1 and D2 are shallower power -states and require less device context to be saved. To -play it safe, just save everything at suspend and restore -everything at resume. - -Q: Where do I store device context for suspend? - -Anywhere in memory, kmalloc a buffer or store it -in the device descriptor. You are guaranteed that the -contents of memory will be restored and accessible -before resume, even when the system suspends to disk. - -Q: What do I need to do for ACPI vs. APM vs. etc? - -Drivers need not be aware of the specific power management -technology that is active. They just need to be aware -of when the overlying power management system requests -that they suspend or resume. - -Q: What about device dependencies? - -When a driver registers a device, the power management -subsystem uses the information provided to build a -tree of device dependencies (eg. USB device X is on -USB controller Y which is on PCI bus Z) When power -management wants to suspend a device, it first sends -a suspend request to its driver, then the bus driver, -and so on up to the system bus.
