584 598
599The PM core always increments the runtime usage counter before calling the
600->suspend() callback and decrements it after calling the ->resume() callback.
601Hence disabling runtime PM temporarily like this will not cause any runtime
602suspend attempts to be permanently lost. If the usage count goes to zero
603following the return of the ->resume() callback, the ->runtime_idle() callback
604will be invoked as usual.
605
606On some systems, however, system sleep is not entered through a global firmware
607or hardware operation. Instead, all hardware components are put into low-power
608states directly by the kernel in a coordinated way. Then, the system sleep
609state effectively follows from the states the hardware components end up in
610and the system is woken up from that state by a hardware interrupt or a similar
611mechanism entirely under the kernel's control. As a result, the kernel never
612gives control away and the states of all devices during resume are precisely
613known to it. If that is the case and none of the situations listed above takes
614place (in particular, if the system is not waking up from hibernation), it may
615be more efficient to leave the devices that had been suspended before the system
616suspend began in the suspended state.
617
618The PM core does its best to reduce the probability of race conditions between
619the runtime PM and system suspend/resume (and hibernation) callbacks by carrying
620out the following operations:
621
622 * During system suspend it calls pm_runtime_get_noresume() and
623 pm_runtime_barrier() for every device right before executing the
624 subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it. In addition to that it calls
625 pm_runtime_disable() for every device right after executing the
626 subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it.
627
628 * During system resume it calls pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put_sync()
629 for every device right before and right after executing the subsystem-level
630 .resume() callback for it, respectively.
