In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.
This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it. If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset. get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists. But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon. In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.
Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().

There are subsystems whose power management callbacks only need to
invoke the callbacks provided by device drivers. Still, their system
sleep PM callbacks should play well with the runtime PM callbacks,
so that devices suspended at run time can be left in that state for

There are some dependencies between devices (in particular, between
EHCI USB controllers and their OHCI/UHCI siblings) which are not
reflected by the structure of the device tree. With synchronous
suspend and resume these dependencies are taken into accout
automatically, because the devices in question are always registered
in the right order, but to meet these constraints with asynchronous
suspend and resume the drivers of these devices will need to use
dpm_wait() in their suspend/resume routines, so introduce a helper
function allowing them to do that.
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
It has been shown by testing that total device resume time can be
reduced significantly (by as much as 50% or more) if the async
threads executing some devices' resume routines are all started
before the main resume thread starts to handle the "synchronous"
devices.
This is a consequence of the fact that the slowest devices tend to be
located at the end of dpm_list, so their resume routines are started
very late. Consequently, they have to wait for all the preceding
"synchronous" devices before their resume routines can be started
by the main resume thread, even if they are "asynchronous". By
starting their async threads upfront we effectively move those
devices towards the beginning of dpm_list, without breaking their
ordering with respect to their parents and children. As a result,
their resume routines are started much earlier and we are able to
save much more device resume time this way.

Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Theoretically, the total time of system sleep transitions (suspend
to RAM, hibernation) can be reduced by running suspend and resume
callbacks of device drivers in parallel with each other. However,
there are dependencies between devices such that we're not allowed
to suspend the parent of a device before suspending the device
itself. Analogously, we're not allowed to resume a device before
resuming its parent.
The most straightforward way to take these dependencies into accout
is to start the async threads used for suspending and resuming
devices at the core level, so that async_schedule() is called for
each suspend and resume callback supposed to be executed
asynchronously.
For this purpose, introduce a new device flag, power.async_suspend,
used to mark the devices whose suspend and resume callbacks are to be
executed asynchronously (ie. in parallel with the main suspend/resume
thread and possibly in parallel with each other) and helper function
device_enable_async_suspend() allowing one to set power.async_suspend
for given device (power.async_suspend is unset by default for all
devices). For each device with the power.async_suspend flag set the
PM core will use async_schedule() to execute its suspend and resume
callbacks.
The async threads started for different devices as a result of
calling async_schedule() are synchronized with each other and with
the main suspend/resume thread with the help of completions, in the
following way:
(1) There is a completion, power.completion, for each device object.
(2) Each device's completion is reset before calling async_schedule()
for the device or, in the case of devices with the
power.async_suspend flags unset, before executing the device's
suspend and resume callbacks.
(3) During suspend, right before running the bus type, device type
and device class suspend callbacks for the device, the PM core
waits for the completions of all the device's children to be
completed.
(4) During resume, right before running the bus type, device type and
device class resume callbacks for the device, the PM core waits
for the completion of the device's parent to be completed.
(5) The PM core completes power.completion for each device right
after the bus type, device type and device class suspend (or
resume) callbacks executed for the device have returned.

always be in the full power state (except when the entire system goes

If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set
up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the
error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further
down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0.
That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses
this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child
device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable.
Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails.

Many struct driver_attribute descriptors are purely read-only
structures, and there's no need to change them. Therefore make
the promise not to, which will let those descriptors be put in
a ro section.

Most device_attributes are const, and are begging to be
put in a ro section. However, the create and remove
file interfaces were failing to propagate the const promise
which the only functions they call offer.

devtmpfs has a rw_lock dirlock which serializes delete_path and
create_path.
This code was obviously never tested with the usual set of debugging
facilities enabled. In the dirlock held sections the code calls:
- vfs functions which take mutexes
- kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL)
In both code pathes the might sleep warning triggers and spams dmesg.
Convert the rw_lock to a mutex. There is no reason why this needs to
be a rwlock.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6:
PM: Runtime PM documentation update
PM / Runtime: Use device type and device class callbacks
PM: Use pm_runtime_put_sync in system resume
PM: Measure device suspend and resume times
PM: Make the initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume complete
The power management of some devices is handled through device types
and device classes rather than through bus types. Since these
devices may also benefit from using the run-time power management
core, extend it so that the device type and device class run-time PM
callbacks can be taken into consideration by it if the bus type
callback is not defined.
Update the run-time PM core documentation to reflect this change.

This patch (as1317) fixes a bug in the PM core. When a device is
resumed following a system sleep, the core decrements the device's
runtime PM usage counter but doesn't issue an idle notification if the
counter reaches 0. This could prevent an otherwise unused device from
being runtime-suspended again after the system sleep.
The fix is to call pm_runtime_put_sync() instead of
pm_runtime_put_noidle().

Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.
Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.
Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().
