From 7483b4a4d9abf9dcf1ffe6e805ead2847ec3264e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:53:22 +0200 Subject: PM / Sleep: Implement opportunistic sleep, v2 Introduce a mechanism by which the kernel can trigger global transitions to a sleep state chosen by user space if there are no active wakeup sources. It consists of a new sysfs attribute, /sys/power/autosleep, that can be written one of the strings returned by reads from /sys/power/state, an ordered workqueue and a work item carrying out the "suspend" operations. If a string representing the system's sleep state is written to /sys/power/autosleep, the work item triggering transitions to that state is queued up and it requeues itself after every execution until user space writes "off" to /sys/power/autosleep. That work item enables the detection of wakeup events using the functions already defined in drivers/base/power/wakeup.c (with one small modification) and calls either pm_suspend(), or hibernate() to put the system into a sleep state. If a wakeup event is reported while the transition is in progress, it will abort the transition and the "system suspend" work item will be queued up again. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
