<id>32bdfac5462d777f35b00838893c4f87baf23efe</id>

We shouldn't hold dpm_list_mtx while executing
[disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus(), because theoretically this may lead
to a deadlock as shown by the following example (provided by Johannes
Berg):

CPU 3       CPU 2                     CPU 1
                                      suspend/hibernate
            something:
            rtnl_lock()               device_pm_lock()
                                       -&gt; mutex_lock(&amp;dpm_list_mtx)

            mutex_lock(&amp;dpm_list_mtx)

linkwatch_work
 -&gt; rtnl_lock()
                                      disable_nonboot_cpus()
                                       -&gt; flush CPU 3 workqueue

Fortunately, device drivers are supposed to stop any activities that
might lead to the registration of new device objects way before
disable_nonboot_cpus() is called, so it shouldn't be necessary to
hold dpm_list_mtx over the entire late part of device suspend and
early part of device resume.

Thus, during the late suspend and the early resume of devices acquire
dpm_list_mtx only when dpm_list is going to be traversed and release
it right after that.

This patch is reported to fix the regressions tracked as
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13245.

<title>PM: Rework handling of interrupts during suspend-resume</title>

<content type='text'>
Use the functions introduced in by the previous patch,
suspend_device_irqs(), resume_device_irqs() and check_wakeup_irqs(),
to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and
resume.  Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right
before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented
from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function,
before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during
resume).

In addition, since the device interrups are now disabled before the
CPU has turned all interrupts off and the CPU will ACK the interrupts
setting the IRQ_PENDING bit for them, check in sysdev_suspend() if
any wake-up interrupts are pending and abort suspend if that's the
case.

dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will
be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend
order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as
an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered
one.

This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers
to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

Move the sysdev_suspend/resume from the callee to the callers, with
no real change in semantics, so that we can rework the disabling of
interrupts during suspend/hibernation.

This is based on an earlier patch from Linus.

PM: Simplify the new suspend/hibernation framework for devices

Following the discussion at the Kernel Summit, simplify the new
device PM framework by merging 'struct pm_ops' and
'struct pm_ext_ops' and removing pointers to 'struct pm_ext_ops'
from 'struct platform_driver' and 'struct pci_driver'.

After this change, the suspend/hibernation callbacks will only
reside in 'struct device_driver' as well as at the bus type/
device class/device type level.  Accordingly, PCI and platform
device drivers are now expected to put their suspend/hibernation
callbacks into the 'struct device_driver' embedded in
'struct pci_driver' or 'struct platform_driver', respectively.

Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks
atomic.

This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol().  I
marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for
removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated.

parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs
to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power).  This
patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix
dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
to get meaningful initcall_debug output.

device_pm_add() has a WARN_ON that is showing relatively high on
kerneloops.org, but unfortunately the WARN_ON is less than useful
in that it doesn't print any information about what device is causing
the issue.

This patch fixes this by turning the WARN_ON() into the newly
introduces dev_WARN() which will print information about the
device in question.

PM: Remove WARN_ON from device_pm_add

Fix message in device_pm_add() saying that the device will not be
added to dpm_list, although in fact the device is going to be added
to the list regardless of the ordering violation.

Remove the WARN_ON(true) triggered in that situation, because it is
hit by USB very often and spams the users' logs.

This patch fixes bug #11263
