 17 Most of the code in Linux is device drivers, s    
 18 management (PM) code is also driver-specific.     
 19 little; others, especially for platforms with     
 20 phones), will do a lot.                           
 21

 24 shared by everything that hooks up to the driv    
 25 background for the domain-specific work you'd

 28 Two Models for Device Power Management            
 29 ======================================            
 30                                                   
 31 Drivers will use one or both of these models t    
 32 states:                                           
 33                                                   
 34     System Sleep model:                           
 35                                                   
 36         Drivers can enter low-power states as     
 37         low-power states like "suspend" (also     
 38         (mostly for systems with disks) "hiber    
 39         "suspend-to-disk").                       
 40                                                   
 41         This is something that device, bus, an    
 42         by implementing various role-specific     
 43         cleanly power down hardware and softwa    
 44         them without loss of data.                
 45                                                   
 46         Some drivers can manage hardware wakeu

 50         for this purpose); enabling it may cos    
 51         whole system enter low-power states mo    
 52                                                   
 53     Runtime Power Management model:               
 54                                                   
 55         Devices may also be put into low-power    
 56         running, independently of other power     
 57         However, devices are not generally ind    
 58         example, a parent device cannot be sus    
 59         devices have been suspended).  Moreove    
 60         device is on, it may be necessary to c    
 61         operations on the device for this purp    
 62         states at run time may require special    
 63         transitions (suspend or hibernation).     
 64                                                   
 65         For these reasons not only the device     
 66         appropriate subsystem (bus type, devic

 88 Interfaces for Entering System Sleep States       
 89 ===========================================

 97 Device Power Management Operations                
 98 ----------------------------------                
 99                                                   
100 Device power management operations, at the sub    
101 device driver level, are implemented by defini    
102 struct dev_pm_ops defined in :file:`include/li    
103 methods included in it will be explained in wh    
104 sufficient to remember that the last three met    
105 management while the remaining ones are used d    
106 transitions.                                      
107                                                   
108 There also is a deprecated "old" or "legacy" i    
109 operations available at least for some subsyst    
110 struct dev_pm_ops objects and it is suitable o    
111 sleep power management methods in a limited wa    
112 in this document, so please refer directly to     
113 information about it.

120 struct dev_pm_ops pointed to by the :c:member:    
121 struct dev_pm_domain, or by the :c:member:`pm`    
122 struct device_type and struct class.  They are    
123 people writing infrastructure for platforms an    
124 device type and device class drivers.  They al    
125 device drivers whose subsystems (PM domains, d    
126 bus types) don't provide all power management     
127                                                   
128 Bus drivers implement these methods as appropr    
129 drivers using it; PCI works differently from U    
130 write subsystem-level drivers; most driver cod    
131 on top of bus-specific framework code.            
132                                                   
133 For more information on these driver calls, se    
134 they are called in phases for every device, re    
135 sequencing in the driver model tree.

141 All device objects in the driver model contain    
142 of system wakeup events (hardware signals that    
143 sleep state).  These fields are initialized by    
144 :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()` and :c:f    
145 defined in :file:`include/linux/pm_wakeup.h`.     
146                                                   
147 The :c:member:`power.can_wakeup` flag just rec    
148 driver) can physically support wakeup events.     
149 :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()` routine     
150 :c:member:`power.wakeup` field is a pointer to    
151 struct wakeup_source used for controlling whet    
152 its system wakeup mechanism and for notifying     
153 events signaled by the device.  This object is    
154 devices (i.e. devices whose :c:member:`can_wak    
155 (or removed) by :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_cap

162 strings to it to indicate whether or not, resp    
163 to signal system wakeup.  This file is only pr

172 requests on their own but merely forward wakeu

174                                                   
175 The :c:func:`device_may_wakeup()` routine retu    
176 :c:member:`power.wakeup` object exists and the    
177 file contains the "enabled" string.  This info    
178 like the PCI bus type code, to see whether or     
179 mechanisms.  If device wakeup mechanisms are e    
180 drivers, they also should use :c:func:`device_

184 It ought to be noted that system wakeup is con    
185 wakeup" used by runtime power management, alth    
186 same physical mechanism.  Remote wakeup is a f

190 some systems it is impossible to trigger them     
191 case, remote wakeup should always be enabled f    
192 all devices and drivers that support it.

198 Each device in the driver model has a flag to     
199 runtime power management.  This flag, :c:membe    
200 by the bus type (or generally subsystem) code     
201 or :c:func:`pm_runtime_forbid()`; the default     
202 management.

223 Calling Drivers to Enter and Leave System Slee    
224 ==============================================    
225                                                   
226 When the system goes into a sleep state, each     
227 suspend the device by putting it into a state     
228 system state.  That's usually some version of     
229 system-specific.  Also, wakeup-enabled devices    
230 functional in order to wake the system.           
231                                                   
232 When the system leaves that low-power state, t    
233 resume it by returning it to full power.  The     
234 always go together, and both are multi-phase o    
235                                                   
236 For simple drivers, suspend might quiesce the     
237 and then turn its hardware as "off" as possibl

493                                                   
494 Drivers must also be prepared to notice that t    
495 while the system was powered down, whenever th

506 Entering Hibernation                              
507 --------------------                              
508                                                   
509 Hibernating the system is more complicated tha    
510 because it involves creating and saving a syst    
511 more phases for hibernation, with a different     
512 always run after tasks have been frozen and en    
513                                                   
514 The general procedure for hibernation is to qu    
515 create an image of the system memory while eve    
516 devices ("thaw"), write the image to permanent    
517 the system ("power off").  The phases used to     
518 ``freeze``, ``freeze_late``, ``freeze_noirq``,    
519 ``thaw``, ``complete``, ``prepare``, ``powerof    
520 ``poweroff_noirq``.                               
521                                                   
522     1.  The ``prepare`` phase is discussed in     
523         section above.                            
524                                                   
525     2.  The ``->freeze`` methods should quiesc    
526         generate IRQs or DMA, and they may nee    
527         registers.  However the device does no    
528         state, and to save time it's best not     
529         not be prepared to generate wakeup eve    
530                                                   
531     3.  The ``freeze_late`` phase is analogous    
532         described earlier, except that the dev    
533         low-power state and should not be allo    
534                                                   
535     4.  The ``freeze_noirq`` phase is analogou    
536         discussed earlier, except again that t    
537         a low-power state and should not be al    
538                                                   
539 At this point the system image is created.  Al    
540 the contents of memory should remain undisturb    
541 image forms an atomic snapshot of the system s    
542                                                   
543     5.  The ``thaw_noirq`` phase is analogous     
544         discussed earlier.  The main differenc    
545         the device is in the same state as at     
546         phase.                                    
547                                                   
548     6.  The ``thaw_early`` phase is analogous     
549         described above.  Its methods should u    
550         ``freeze_late``, if necessary.            
551                                                   
552     7.  The ``thaw`` phase is analogous to the    
553         earlier.  Its methods should bring the    
554         state, so that it can be used for savi    
555                                                   
556     8.  The ``complete`` phase is discussed in    
557         section above.                            
558                                                   
559 At this point the system image is saved, and t    
560 prepared for the upcoming system shutdown.  Th    
561 before putting the system into the suspend-to-    
562 and the phases are similar.                       
563                                                   
564     9.  The ``prepare`` phase is discussed abo    
565                                                   
566     10. The ``poweroff`` phase is analogous to    
567                                                   
568     11. The ``poweroff_late`` phase is analogo    
569                                                   
570     12. The ``poweroff_noirq`` phase is analog    
571                                                   
572 The ``->poweroff``, ``->poweroff_late`` and ``    
573 should do essentially the same things as the `    
574 and ``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks, respectivel    
575 that they need not store the device register v    
576 should already have been stored during the ``f    
577 ``freeze_noirq`` phases.  Also, on many machin    
578 the entire system, so it is not necessary for     
579 a low-power state.                                
580                                                   
581                                                   
582 Leaving Hibernation                               
583 -------------------                               
584                                                   
585 Resuming from hibernation is, again, more comp    
586 state in which the contents of main memory are    
587 a system image to be loaded into memory and th    
588 to be restored before control can be passed ba    
589                                                   
590 Although in principle the image might be loade    
591 pre-hibernation memory contents restored by th    
592 can't be done because boot loaders aren't smar    
593 established protocol for passing the necessary    
594 boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kern    
595 into memory and passes control to it in the us    
596 reads the system image, restores the pre-hiber    
597 control to the image kernel.  Thus two differe    
598 in resuming from hibernation.  In fact, the re    
599 different from the image kernel: a different c    
600 version.  This has important consequences for     
601 subsystems.                                       
602                                                   
603 To be able to load the system image into memor    
604 include at least a subset of device drivers al    
605 medium containing the image, although it doesn    
606 drivers present in the image kernel.  After th    
607 devices managed by the boot kernel need to be     
608 to the image kernel.  This is very similar to     
609 creating a system image, and it is accomplishe    
610 ``prepare``, ``freeze``, and ``freeze_noirq``     
611 affected by these phases are only those having    
612 other devices will still be in whatever state     
613                                                   
614 Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation     
615 kernel would go through the "thawing" procedur    
616 ``thaw_noirq``, ``thaw_early``, ``thaw``, and     
617 continue running normally.  This happens only     
618 pre-hibernation memory contents are restored s    
619 to the image kernel, which then becomes respon    
620 to the working state.                             
621                                                   
622 To achieve this, the image kernel must restore    
623 functionality.  The operation is much like wak    
624 the memory contents preserved), although it in    
625 ``restore_noirq``, ``restore_early``, ``restor

627     1.  The ``restore_noirq`` phase is analogo    
628                                                   
629     2.  The ``restore_early`` phase is analogo    
630                                                   
631     3.  The ``restore`` phase is analogous to     
632                                                   
633     4.  The ``complete`` phase is discussed ab    
634                                                   
635 The main difference from ``resume[_early|_noir    
636 ``restore[_early|_noirq]`` must assume the dev    
637 reconfigured by the boot loader or the restore    
638 of the device may be different from the state     
639 ``freeze_late`` and ``freeze_noirq`` phases.      
640 reset and completely re-initialized.  In many     
641 matter, so the ``->resume[_early|_noirq]`` and    
642 method pointers can be set to the same routine    
643 callback pointers are used in case there is a     
644 matter.

648 ==========================                        
649                                                   
650 There are some operations that cannot be carri    
651 callbacks discussed above, because the callbac

661 Device Low-Power (suspend) States                 
662 =================================                 
663                                                   
664 Device low-power states aren't standard.  One     
665 "on" and "off", while another might support a     
666 "on" (how many engines are active?), plus a st    
667 faster than from a full "off".                    
668                                                   
669 Some buses define rules about what different s    
670 gives one example: after the suspend sequence     
671 PCI device may not perform DMA or issue IRQs,     
672 issues would be issued through the PME# bus si    
673 several PCI-standard device states, some of wh    
674                                                   
675 In contrast, integrated system-on-chip process    
676 wakeup event sources (so drivers would call :c    
677 might be able to treat DMA completion as a wak    
678 active too, it'd only be the CPU and some peri    
679                                                   
680 Some details here may be platform-specific.  S    
681 can be fully active in certain sleep states, s    
682 refreshed using DMA while most of the system i    
683 its frame buffer might even be updated by a DS    
684 the Linux control processor stays idle.           
685                                                   
686 Moreover, the specific actions taken may depen    
687 One target system state might allow a given de    
688 another might require a hard shut down with re    
689 And two different target systems might use the    
690 ways; the aforementioned LCD might be active i    
691 but a different product using the same SOC mig

694 Device Power Management Domains                   
695 ===============================                   
696                                                   
697 Sometimes devices share reference clocks or ot    
698 cases it generally is not possible to put devi    
699 individually.  Instead, a set of devices shari    
700 into a low-power state together at the same ti    
701 power resource.  Of course, they also need to     
702 together, by turning the shared power resource    
703 property is often referred to as a power domai    
704 nested inside another power domain. The nested    
705 sub-domain of the parent domain.                  
706                                                   
707 Support for power domains is provided through     
708 struct device.  This field is a pointer to an     
709 struct dev_pm_domain, defined in :file:`includ    
710 of power management callbacks analogous to the    
711 callbacks that are executed for the given devi

715 (e.g. bus type's) ``->suspend()`` callback and    
716 remaining callbacks.  In other words, power ma    
717 defined for the given device, always take prec    
718 by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus type).

722 different power domain configurations and want    
723 support for power domains into subsystem-level

741                                                   
742 Many devices are able to dynamically power dow    
743 running. This feature is useful for devices th    
744 can offer significant power savings on a runni

758 transition, but in other cases the device must    
759 state temporarily, for example so that its sys    
760 disabled.  This all depends on the hardware an    
761 device driver in question.                        
762                                                   
763 If it is necessary to resume a device from run    
764 transition into a sleep state, that can be don    
765 :c:func:`pm_runtime_resume` from the ``->suspe    
766 or ``->poweroff`` callback for transitions rel    
767 device's driver or its subsystem (for example,    
768 However, subsystems must not otherwise change     
769 from their ``->prepare`` and ``->suspend`` cal    
770 invoking device drivers' ``->suspend`` callbac

774 The ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` Driver Flag        
775 ------------------------------------------        
776                                                   
777 Some bus types and PM domains have a policy to    
778 suspend upfront in their ``->suspend`` callbac    
779 necessary if the device's driver can cope with    
780 The driver can indicate this by setting ``DPM_    
781 :c:member:`power.driver_flags` at probe time,     
782 :c:func:`dev_pm_set_driver_flags` helper routi    
783                                                   
784 Setting that flag causes the PM core and middl    
785 (bus types, PM domains etc.) to skip the ``->s    
786 ``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks provided by the     
787 runtime suspend throughout those phases of the    
788 similarly for the "freeze" and "poweroff" part    
789 [Otherwise the same driver                        
790 callback might be executed twice in a row for     
791 be valid in general.]  If the middle-layer sys    
792 for the device then they are responsible for s    
793 if not then the PM core skips them.  The subsy    
794 determine whether they need to skip the driver    
795 value from the :c:func:`dev_pm_skip_suspend` h    
796                                                   
797 In addition, with ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` s    
798 and ``->thaw_early`` callbacks are skipped in     
799 in runtime suspend throughout the preceding "f    
800 middle-layer callbacks are present for the dev    
801 doing this, otherwise the PM core takes care o

803                                                   
804 The ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` Driver Flag      
805 --------------------------------------------      
806                                                   
807 During system-wide resume from a sleep state i    
808 the full-power state, as explained in Document    
809 [Refer to that document for more information r    
810 well as for information on the device runtime     
811 general.]  However, it often is desirable to l    
812 system transitions to the working state, espec    
813 runtime suspend before the preceding system-wi    
814 transition.                                       
815                                                   
816 To that end, device drivers can use the ``DPM_    
817 indicate to the PM core and middle-layer code     
818 "early" resume callbacks to be skipped if the     
819 after system-wide PM transitions to the workin    
820 the case generally depends on the state of the    
821 suspend-resume cycle and on the type of the sy    
822 In particular, the "thaw" and "restore" transi    
823 not affected by ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` a    
824 issued during the "restore" transition regardl    
825 and whether or not any driver callbacks           
826 are skipped during the "thaw" transition depen    
827 ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` flag is set (see `a    
828 In addition, a device is not allowed to remain    
829 children will be returned to full power.]         
830                                                   
831 The ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is taken    
832 the :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` status b    
833 "suspend" phase of suspend-type transitions.      
834 has a reason to prevent the driver's "noirq" a    
835 being skipped during the subsequent system res    
836 clear :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` in its    
837 or ``->suspend_noirq`` callback.  [Note that t    
838 ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` need to clear :c:me    
839 their ``->suspend`` callback in case the other    
840                                                   
841 Setting the :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume`     
842 ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is necessary    
843 for the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume ca    
844 not they should be skipped can be determined b    
845 :c:func:`dev_pm_skip_resume` helper function.     
846                                                   
847 If that function returns ``true``, the driver'    
848 callbacks should be skipped and the device's r    
849 "suspended" by the PM core.  Otherwise, if the    
850 during the preceding system-wide suspend trans    
851 ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set, its runtime    
852 "active" by the PM core.  [Hence, the drivers     
853 ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` should not expect t    
854 devices to be changed from "suspended" to "act    
855 system-wide resume-type transitions.]             
856                                                   
857 If the ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is no    
858 ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set and the driv    
859 callbacks are skipped, its system-wide "noirq"    
860 present, are invoked as usual and the device's    
861 "active" by the PM core before enabling runtim    
862 driver must be prepared to cope with the invoc    
863 callbacks back-to-back with its ``->runtime_su    
864 intervening ``->runtime_resume`` and system-wi    
865 final state of the device must reflect the "ac    
866 case.  [Note that this is not a problem at all    
867 ``->suspend_late`` callback pointer points to     
868 ``->runtime_suspend`` one and its ``->resume_e    
869 the same function as the ``->runtime_resume``     
870 system-wide suspend-resume callbacks of the dr

872 Likewise, if ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` is s

876 needs to be able to cope with the invocation o
