318 1. The ``prepare`` phase is meant to prev 326 1. The ``prepare`` phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new
319 devices from being registered; the PM 327 devices from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the
320 children of a device had been suspende 328 children of a device had been suspended if new children could be

348 Note that this direct-complete procedu 356 Note that this direct-complete procedure applies even if the device is
349 disabled for runtime PM; only the runt 357 disabled for runtime PM; only the runtime-PM status matters. It follows
350 that if a device has system-sleep call 358 that if a device has system-sleep callbacks but does not support runtime
351 PM, then its prepare callback must nev 359 PM, then its prepare callback must never return a positive value. This

406 At the end of these phases, drivers should hav 410 At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions

419 If any of these callbacks returns an error, th 423 If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired

430 1. The ``->resume_noirq`` callback method 434 1. The ``->resume_noirq`` callback methods should perform any actions

442 actions. 446 actions.

592 can't be done because boot loaders aren't smar 594 can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no
593 established protocol for passing the necessary 595 established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the
594 boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kern 596 boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called "the restore kernel",
595 into memory and passes control to it in the us 597 into memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the restore kernel
596 reads the system image, restores the pre-hiber 598 reads the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes

598 in resuming from hibernation. In fact, the re 600 in resuming from hibernation. In fact, the restore kernel may be completely
599 different from the image kernel: a different c 601 different from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different
600 version. This has important consequences for 602 version. This has important consequences for device drivers and their
601 subsystems. 603 subsystems.
602 604
603 To be able to load the system image into memor 605 To be able to load the system image into memory, the restore kernel needs to
604 include at least a subset of device drivers al 606 include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage

607 devices managed by the boot kernel need to be 609 devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back
608 to the image kernel. This is very similar to 610 to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in
609 creating a system image, and it is accomplishe 611 creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using
610 ``prepare``, ``freeze``, and ``freeze_noirq`` 612 ``prepare``, ``freeze``, and ``freeze_noirq`` phases. However, the devices
611 affected by these phases are only those having 613 affected by these phases are only those having drivers in the restore kernel;
612 other devices will still be in whatever state 614 other devices will still be in whatever state the boot loader left them.

614 Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation 616 Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the restore

621 623
622 To achieve this, the image kernel must restore 624 To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation
623 functionality. The operation is much like wak 625 functionality. The operation is much like waking up from a sleep state (with
