4 | Description: | ||
5 | The /sys/devices/.../power directory contains attributes | ||
6 | allowing the user space to check and modify some power | ||
7 | management related properties of given device. | ||

9 | What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup | ||
10 | Date: January 2009 | ||
11 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
12 | Description: | ||
13 | The /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup attribute allows the user | ||
14 | space to check if the device is enabled to wake up the system | ||
15 | from sleep states, such as the memory sleep state (suspend to | ||
16 | RAM) and hibernation (suspend to disk), and to enable or disable | ||
17 | it to do that as desired. | ||
18 | |||
19 | Some devices support "wakeup" events, which are hardware signals | ||
20 | used to activate the system from a sleep state. Such devices | ||
21 | have one of the following two values for the sysfs power/wakeup | ||
22 | file: | ||
23 | |||
24 | + "enabled\n" to issue the events; | ||
25 | + "disabled\n" not to do so; | ||
26 | |||
27 | In that cases the user space can change the setting represented | ||
28 | by the contents of this file by writing either "enabled", or | ||
29 | "disabled" to it. | ||
30 | |||
31 | For the devices that are not capable of generating system wakeup | ||
32 | events this file contains "\n". In that cases the user space | ||
33 | cannot modify the contents of this file and the device cannot be | ||
34 | enabled to wake up the system. | ||
35 | |||
36 | What: /sys/devices/.../power/control | ||
37 | Date: January 2009 | ||
38 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
39 | Description: | ||
40 | The /sys/devices/.../power/control attribute allows the user | ||
41 | space to control the run-time power management of the device. | ||
42 | |||
43 | All devices have one of the following two values for the | ||
44 | power/control file: | ||
45 | |||
46 | + "auto\n" to allow the device to be power managed at run time; | ||
47 | + "on\n" to prevent the device from being power managed; | ||
48 | |||
49 | The default for all devices is "auto", which means that they may | ||
50 | be subject to automatic power management, depending on their | ||
51 | drivers. Changing this attribute to "on" prevents the driver | ||
52 | from power managing the device at run time. Doing that while | ||
53 | the device is suspended causes it to be woken up. | ||
54 | |||
55 | What: /sys/devices/.../power/async | ||
56 | Date: January 2009 | ||
57 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
58 | Description: | ||
59 | The /sys/devices/.../async attribute allows the user space to | ||
60 | enable or diasble the device's suspend and resume callbacks to | ||
61 | be executed asynchronously (ie. in separate threads, in parallel | ||
62 | with the main suspend/resume thread) during system-wide power | ||
63 | transitions (eg. suspend to RAM, hibernation). | ||
64 | |||
65 | All devices have one of the following two values for the | ||
66 | power/async file: | ||
67 | |||
68 | + "enabled\n" to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume; | ||
69 | + "disabled\n" to forbid it; | ||
70 | |||
71 | The value of this attribute may be changed by writing either | ||
72 | "enabled", or "disabled" to it. | ||
73 | |||
74 | It generally is unsafe to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume | ||
75 | of a device unless it is certain that all of the PM dependencies | ||
76 | of the device are known to the PM core. However, for some | ||
77 | devices this attribute is set to "enabled" by bus type code or | ||
78 | device drivers and in that cases it should be safe to leave the | ||
79 | default value. | ||

108 | Description: | ||
109 | The /sys/power/pm_async file controls the switch allowing the | ||
110 | user space to enable or disable asynchronous suspend and resume | ||
111 | of devices. If enabled, this feature will cause some device | ||
112 | drivers' suspend and resume callbacks to be executed in parallel | ||

114 | if this file contains "1", which is the default. It may be | ||
115 | disabled by writing "0" to this file, in which case all devices | ||
116 | will be suspended and resumed synchronously. | ||
