<id>urn:sha1:2728b2d2e5be4b828a523a06089cd605419fc65c</id>
<content type='text'>
Move the document describing the system sleep state transitions API
for devices to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and
update it to use current terminology.  Also remove the remaining
reference to the old version of it from pm.h.

The new document still contains references to some documents in the
.txt format that will be converted later.

Refresh the struct dev_pm_ops kerneldoc comment, so that it looks
better and is more readable after processing by Sphinx, and drop
the kerneldoc marker from a few other comments ("PM_EVENT_ messages"
and a couple of enum types declarations) which are not proper
kerneldoc and generally confuse Sphinx.

Also change the comment describing struct dev_pm_domain into
a kerneldoc one.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the new driver core patches for 4.10-rc1.

  Big thing here is the nice addition of "functional dependencies" to
  the driver core. The idea has been talked about for a very long time,
  great job to Rafael for stepping up and implementing it. It's been
  tested for longer than the 4.9-rc1 date, we held off on merging it
  earlier in order to feel more comfortable about it.

  Other than that, it's just a handful of small other patches, some good
  cleanups to the mess that is the firmware class code, and we have a
  test driver for the deferred probe logic.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

If the device has no links to suppliers that should be used for
runtime PM (links with DEVICE_LINK_PM_RUNTIME set), there is no
reason to walk the list of suppliers for that device during
runtime suspend and resume.

Add a simple mechanism to detect that case and possibly avoid the
extra unnecessary overhead.

<id>urn:sha1:9ed9895370aedd6032af2a9181c62c394d08223b</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there is a problem with taking functional dependencies
between devices into account.

What I mean by a "functional dependency" is when the driver of device
B needs device A to be functional and (generally) its driver to be
present in order to work properly.  This has certain consequences
for power management (suspend/resume and runtime PM ordering) and
shutdown ordering of these devices.  In general, it also implies that
the driver of A needs to be working for B to be probed successfully
and it cannot be unbound from the device before the B's driver.

Support for representing those functional dependencies between
devices is added here to allow the driver core to track them and act
on them in certain cases where applicable.

The argument for doing that in the driver core is that there are
quite a few distinct use cases involving device dependencies, they
are relatively hard to get right in a driver (if one wants to
address all of them properly) and it only gets worse if multiplied
by the number of drivers potentially needing to do it.  Morever, at
least one case (asynchronous system suspend/resume) cannot be handled
in a single driver at all, because it requires the driver of A to
wait for B to suspend (during system suspend) and the driver of B to
wait for A to resume (during system resume).

For this reason, represent dependencies between devices as "links",
with the help of struct device_link objects each containing pointers
to the "linked" devices, a list node for each of them, status
information, flags, and an RCU head for synchronization.

Also add two new list heads, representing the lists of links to the
devices that depend on the given one (consumers) and to the devices
depended on by it (suppliers), and a "driver presence status" field
(needed for figuring out initial states of device links) to struct
device.

The entire data structure consisting of all of the lists of link
objects for all devices is protected by a mutex (for link object
addition/removal and for list walks during device driver probing
and removal) and by SRCU (for list walking in other case that will
be introduced by subsequent change sets).  If CONFIG_SRCU is not
selected, however, an rwsem is used for protecting the entire data
structure.

In addition, each link object has an internal status field whose
value reflects whether or not drivers are bound to the devices
pointed to by the link or probing/removal of their drivers is in
progress etc.  That field is only modified under the device links
mutex, but it may be read outside of it in some cases (introduced by
subsequent change sets), so modifications of it are annotated with
WRITE_ONCE().

New links are added by calling device_link_add() which takes three
arguments: pointers to the devices in question and flags.  In
particular, if DL_FLAG_STATELESS is set in the flags, the link status
is not to be taken into account for this link and the driver core
will not manage it.  In turn, if DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE is set in the
flags, the driver core will remove the link automatically when the
consumer device driver unbinds from it.

One of the actions carried out by device_link_add() is to reorder
the lists used for device shutdown and system suspend/resume to
put the consumer device along with all of its children and all of
its consumers (and so on, recursively) to the ends of those lists
in order to ensure the right ordering between all of the supplier
and consumer devices.

For this reason, it is not possible to create a link between two
devices if the would-be supplier device already depends on the
would-be consumer device as either a direct descendant of it or a
consumer of one of its direct descendants or one of its consumers
and so on.

There are two types of link objects, persistent and non-persistent.
The persistent ones stay around until one of the target devices is
deleted, while the non-persistent ones are removed automatically when
the consumer driver unbinds from its device (ie. they are assumed to
be valid only as long as the consumer device has a driver bound to
it).  Persistent links are created by default and non-persistent
links are created when the DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE flag is passed
to device_link_add().

Both persistent and non-persistent device links can be deleted
with an explicit call to device_link_del().

Links created without the DL_FLAG_STATELESS flag set are managed
by the driver core using a simple state machine.  There are 5 states
each link can be in: DORMANT (unused), AVAILABLE (the supplier driver
is present and functional), CONSUMER_PROBE (the consumer driver is
probing), ACTIVE (both supplier and consumer drivers are present and
functional), and SUPPLIER_UNBIND (the supplier driver is unbinding).
The driver core updates the link state automatically depending on
what happens to the linked devices and for each link state specific
actions are taken in addition to that.

For example, if the supplier driver unbinds from its device, the
driver core will also unbind the drivers of all of its consumers
automatically under the assumption that they cannot function
properly without the supplier.  Analogously, the driver core will
only allow the consumer driver to bind to its device if the
supplier driver is present and functional (ie. the link is in
the AVAILABLE state).  If that's not the case, it will rely on
the existing deferred probing mechanism to wait for the supplier
driver to become available.

<title>PM / Runtime: Move ignore_children flag under CONFIG_PM</title>

<content type='text'>
The ignore_children flag is used only when CONFIG_PM is set, so let's move
it into that section within the struct dev_pm_info.

Move also the corresponding pm_suspend_ignore_children() API out of
device.h into pm_runtime.h, to be consistent with similar APIs.

Unfortunate this causes the Toshiba PCI SD mmc host driver to fail to
compile as it needs pm_runtime.h, so let's fix this here as well.

<title>PM / sleep: Go direct_complete if driver has no callbacks</title>

<content type='text'>
If a suitable prepare callback cannot be found for a given device and
its driver has no PM callbacks at all, assume that it can go direct to
complete when the system goes to sleep.

The reason for this is that there's lots of devices in a system that do
no PM at all and there's no reason for them to prevent their ancestors
to do direct_complete if they can support it.

<title>PM / PCI / ACPI: Kick devices that might have been reset by firmware</title>

<id>urn:sha1:58a1fbbb2ee873dd1fe327e80bc7b08e80866269</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a concern that if the platform firmware was involved in
the system resume that's being completed,  some devices might have
been reset by it and if those devices had the power.direct_complete
flag set during the preceding suspend transition, they may stay
in a reset-power-on state indefinitely (until they are runtime-resumed
and then suspended again).  That may not be a big deal from the
individual device's perspective, but if the system is an SoC, it may
be prevented from entering deep SoC-wide low-power states on idle
because of that.

The devices that are most likely to be affected by this issue are
PCI devices and ACPI-enumerated devices using the general ACPI PM
domain, so to prevent it from happening for those devices, force a
runtime resume for them if they have their power.direct_complete
flags set and the platform firmware was involved in the resume
transition currently in progress.
