      PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change · d020283d
      Venkatesh Pallipadi authored
      Looks like change "PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files"
      merged during the 3.2 development cycle made PM QoS depend on
      CONFIG_PM which depends on (PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME).
      
      That breaks CPU C-states with kernels not having these CONFIGs, causing CPUs
      to spend time in Polling loop idle instead of going into deep C-states,
      consuming way way more power. This is with either acpi idle or intel idle
      enabled.
      
      Either CONFIG_PM should be enabled with any pm_qos users or
      the !CONFIG_PM pm_qos_request() should return sane defaults not to break
      the existing users. Here's is the patch for the latter option.
      
      [rjw: Modified the changelog slightly.]

      PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails · 379e0be8
      Srivatsa S. Bhat authored
      If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically
      thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter
      situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path
      to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do
      some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like:
      
      error = freeze_kernel_threads();
      if (error) {
      	/* Do some cleanup */
      
      	/* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/
      	thaw_processes();
      }
      
      An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems
      during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads
      fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing
      the userspace tasks.
      
      So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in
      case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes()
      accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather
      cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.)
      
      [rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the
       3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called
       before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive
       memory allocation failures.]

      There are few important bug fixes for LogFS
      
      * tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream:
        Logfs: Allow NULL block_isbad() methods
        logfs: Grow inode in delete path
        logfs: Free areas before calling generic_shutdown_super()
        logfs: remove useless BUG_ON
        MAINTAINERS: Add Prasad Joshi in LogFS maintiners
        logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode
        logfs: set superblock shutdown flag after generic sb shutdown
        logfs: take write mutex lock during fsync and sync
        logfs: Prevent memory corruption
        logfs: update page reference count for pined pages
      
      Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
      "mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86: "Logfs: Allow NULL
      block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
      commits 7086c19d: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
      d58b27ed: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
      
      This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86, and just
      makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
      function is NULL.  But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
      always returns 0.
      
      Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
      low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
      non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
      function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
      good".

      PM / Sleep: Introduce generic callbacks for new device PM phases · e470d066
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Introduce generic subsystem callbacks for the new phases of device
      suspend/resume during system power transitions: "late suspend",
      "early resume", "late freeze", "early thaw", "late poweroff",
      "early restore".

      PM / Sleep: Introduce "late suspend" and "early resume" of devices · cf579dfb
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      The current device suspend/resume phases during system-wide power
      transitions appear to be insufficient for some platforms that want
      to use the same callback routines for saving device states and
      related operations during runtime suspend/resume as well as during
      system suspend/resume.  In principle, they could point their
      .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() to the same callback routines
      as their .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume(), respectively,
      but at least some of them require device interrupts to be enabled
      while the code in those routines is running.
      
      It also makes sense to have device suspend-resume callbacks that will
      be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts
      enabled in case someone needs to run some special code in that
      context during system-wide power transitions.
      
      Apart from this, .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() were introduced
      as a workaround for drivers using shared interrupts and failing to
      prevent their interrupt handlers from accessing suspended hardware.
      It appears to be better not to use them for other porposes, or we may
      have to deal with some serious confusion (which seems to be happening
      already).
      
      For the above reasons, introduce new device suspend/resume phases,
      "late suspend" and "early resume" (and analogously for hibernation)
      whose callback will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with
      device interrupts enabled and whose callback pointers generally may
      point to runtime suspend/resume routines.

      PM / Hibernate: Fix s2disk regression related to freezing workqueues · 181e9bde
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Commit 2aede851
      
        PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory
      
      introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
      the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
      frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
      However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
      SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
      which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
      that worqueues had been already frozen.
      
      Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
      the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
      reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851
      attempted to avoid into that particular code path.  For this reason,
      to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
      the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.
      
      Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
      problem.
