PM: Prevent waiting forever on asynchronous resume after failing suspend

2010-09-08T22:49:43+00:00

During suspend, the power.completion is expected to be set when a
device has not yet started suspending.  Set it on init to fix a
corner case where a device is resumed when its parent has never
suspended.

Consider three drivers, A, B, and C.  The parent of A is C, and C
has async_suspend set.  On boot, C->power.completion is initialized
to 0.

During the first suspend:
suspend_devices_and_enter(...)
 dpm_resume(...)
  device_suspend(A)
  device_suspend(B) returns error, aborts suspend
 dpm_resume_end(...)
   dpm_resume(...)
    device_resume(A)
     dpm_wait(A->parent == C)
      wait_for_completion(C->power.completion)

The wait_for_completion will never complete, because
complete_all(C->power.completion) will only be called from
device_suspend(C) or device_resume(C), neither of which is called
if suspend is aborted before C.

After a successful suspend->resume cycle, where B doesn't abort
suspend, C->power.completion is left in the completed state by the
call to device_resume(C), and the same call path will work if B
aborts suspend.

firmware_class: fix typo in error path

2010-08-24T01:12:46+00:00

In the error path, _request_firmware sets
firmware_p to NULL rather than *firmware_p,
which leads to passing a freed firmware
struct to drivers when the firmware file
cannot be found. Fix this.

Broken by commit f8a4bd3456b988fc73b2c.

drivers/base/node.c: reduce stack usage of node_read_meminfo()

2010-08-10T03:45:02+00:00

	drivers/base/node.c: In function 'node_read_meminfo':
	drivers/base/node.c:139: warning: the frame size of 848 bytes is
	larger than 512 bytes

Fix it by splitting the sprintf() into three parts.  It has no functional
change.

Driver core: Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER

2010-08-05T20:53:35+00:00

Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event.

For driver binding/unbinding we with this in
place have the following bus notifier events:
 - BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe()
 - BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe()
 - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove()
 - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove()

The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code
to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called.

Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before
the driver gets to run. With this in place platform
drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the
new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance
device clocks that must be enabled before the driver
can be executed.

Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to
get notified that a modular driver is about to be probed.

2010-08-05T20:53:34+00:00

Platform devices should only be called by init code, so it should be
