* PM: platform_bus and late_suspend/early_resumeDavid Brownell2006-09-252-2/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | Teach platform_bus about the new suspend_late/resume_early PM calls, issued with IRQs off. Do we really need sysdev and friends any more, or can janitors start switching its users over to platform_device so we can do a minor code-ectomy?

* PM: no suspend_prepare() phaseDavid Brownell2006-09-255-47/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the new suspend_prepare() phase. It doesn't seem very usable, has never been tested, doesn't address fault cleanup, and would need a sibling resume_complete(); plus there are no real use cases. It could be restored later if those issues get resolved.

* PM: define PM_EVENT_PRETHAWDavid Brownell2006-09-251-15/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new pm_message_t event type to use when preparing to restore a swsusp snapshot. Devices that have been initialized by Linux after resume (rather than left in power-up-reset state) may need to be reset; this new event type give drivers the chance to do that. The drivers that will care about this are those which understand more hardware states than just "on" and "reset", relying on hardware state during resume() methods to be either the state left by the preceding suspend(), or a power-lost reset. The best current example of this class of drivers are USB host controller drivers, which currently do not work through swsusp when they're statically linked. When the swsusp freeze/thaw mechanism kicks in, a troublesome third state could exist: one state set up by a different kernel instance, before a snapshot image is resumed. This mechanism lets drivers prevent that state. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Cc: "Rafael J.

* fix broken/dubious driver suspend() methodsDavid Brownell2006-09-253-11/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Small driver suspend() fixes in preparation for the PRETHAW events: - Only compare message events for equality against PM_EVENT_* codes; not against integers, or using greater/less-than comparisons. (PM_EVENT_* should really become a __bitwise thing.) - Explicitly test for SUSPEND events (rather than not-something-else) before suspending devices. - Removes more of the confusion between a pm_message_t (wraps event code) and a "state" ... suspend() originally took a target system state. These updates are correct and appropriate even without new PM_EVENT codes. benh: "I think in the Mesh case, we should handle the freeze case as well or we might get wild DMA."

In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init initcall. Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch) moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular, topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race, but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module to load earlier still. The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there is only 1 node in the system cpus should think they are apart of some other node. If cases where a real numa system boots the Flat numa option make sure the cpus don't claim to be apart on a non-existent node.
