For some bus types and PM domains, it's not sufficient to only check the
return value from device_may_wakeup(), to fully understand how to treat the
device during system suspend.

In particular, sometimes the device may need to stay in full power state,
to have wakeup signals enabled for it. Therefore, define and document a
WAKEUP_POWERED flag, to enable drivers to instruct bus types and PM domains
exactly about that.

During __device_suspend() in the PM core, let's make sure to also propagate
the setting of the flag to the parent device, when wakeup signals are
enabled and unless the parent has the "ignore_children" flag set. This
makes it also consistent with how the existing "wakeup_path" flag is being
assigned.

IMO this is a bit unclear.

First off, how does the driver know that the device has to be in full
power for wakeup to work?

Second, this requirement sort of implies that the device cannot go
into a low-power state during runtime suspend too, so it basically
remains stays at full power even when runtime-suspended.

Does it then mean that the middle layer is expected to simply avoid
changing the power state of the device when enabled to wake up the
system, or is there more to that?  In the former case, it may be
better to rename the flag to something along the lines of "don't
change power state if wakeup enabled".

No, sorry.

The flag cannot be propagated this way, because that effectively
overrides the choices made by the parent driver and up.

Besides, wakeup_path already had a similar purpose.  What has happened to that?

Because the device is accessed as part of dealing with the wakeup.

No, not really, because that depends on the current situation.

An Ethernet device can surely go into a low power state, at runtime
suspend, when the interface is down, for example.

Yes, correct.

I can try to clarify that in the description and unless you have a
suggestion for a better name of the flag, I try to come up with
something for that too.

OK.

I guess you can always also amend my patch, depending on in what order
you merge things. :-)

Yes, but that is the hole point.

If a child device needs to stay powered as to deal with wakeup, so is
required by the parent.

>

Yes, but wakeup_path is only telling half of what is needed.

Because even if wakeup_path becomes set for a parent device, doesn't
mean that it must stay in full power during system suspend to serve
wakeups for a child. That's why I think the DPM_FLAG_WAKEUP_POWERED
flag needs to be propagated also.

Yes, it is, In the working state of the system.  In the system wakeup
case it may not be.

Essentially, what happens then is that driver-provided interrupt
handlers don't run as a rule and system wakeup is triggered by the
low-level handler at the IRQ chip level.  Next, the PM callbacks
invoked for the device are expected to clean up the wakeup status etc.

Of course, power still is necessary for that to work, but it may be
not be in-band.  That may be either in-band power used for normal
operations and provided through the interconnect used by the device or
it may be special wakeup power provided out-of-band.

Also the wakeup signal itself may be an in-band device interrupt (like
the ones used for signaling IO events during normal operation) or it
may be a special wakeup signal (like PCI PME) in which case, from the
driver's perspective, the wakeup signaling is out-of-band.

Usually, the driver doesn't know how this is set up for the particular
device in the particular platform and hence my question. :-)

The case at hand seems to be when the wakeup power is in-band or the
wakeup signal is an in-band interrupt (in which case power needs to be
provided to the interconnect at least).

If they both are out-of-band, the middle layer should know that,
because as a rule it will be involved in setting up both of them.
Otherwise, in principle, it should assume that in-band power needs to
be provided for wakeup to work and avoid turning things off if wakeup
is enabled.

But then it is not expected to generate wakeup signals I suppose.

[BTW, I wonder how it detects when the cable is connected again to it.
I know what happens in PCI NICs, but that clearly is not the case
here.]

Well, anyway, it looks like the case when the device is
runtime-suspended right before system suspend and it is going to stay
suspended is not interesting here, because the state will be retained
whatever it is then.

An interesting case seems to be when the device is not
runtime-suspended when system suspend triggers.

I was thinking about something like DPM_FLAG_IN_BAND_WAKEUP or similar.

But please note that there are cases in which the middle layer has
information on what power states to put devices into for wakeup to
work and IMO that should take precedence over the flag as a rule.

So you need a flag and a status bit.

The flag says what the driver wants (and what it wants for a
particular device) and the status bit reflects the current situation
(taking dependencies into account).

Say a device has two children, A and B, and both of them have the new flag set.

If either A or B is configured for system wakeup, power should not be
removed from the parent.  However, if neither A nor B is configured
for system wakeup, power can be removed from the parent on suspend
unless the parent driver itself has set the new flag.
Thus setting the new flag by the child drivers alone doesn't imply the
specific handling of the parent unless additional conditions occur.

That can be represented by a status bit that will be set or unset on
every suspend individually taking the current configuration into
account every time.

OK, so one more status bit is needed, then.

Correct.

Yes.

The principle is that the driver needs to runtime resume its device,
if not already, during system suspend, as to be able to configure the
in-band interrupt, then instruct the upper layers that the device
needs to stay in its current power state.

Yeah, let me try to clarify that in the doc.
