Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Suspend block api (version 5)

This patch series adds a suspend-block api that provides the same
functionality as the android wakelock api. The main change from
version 4 posted last week is that suspend blocking work has moved out
of the core workqueue code. The documentation has also been updated.

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] PM: suspend_block: Abort task freezing if a suspend_blocker is active.

If a suspend_blocker is active, suspend will fail anyway. Since
try_to_freeze_tasks can take up to 20 seconds to complete or fail, aborting
as soon as someone blocks suspend (e.g. from an interrupt handler) improves
the worst case wakeup latency.

On an older kernel where task freezing could fail for processes attached
to a debugger, this fixed a problem where the device sometimes hung for
20 seconds before the screen turned on.

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] PM: suspend_block: Add driver to access suspend blockers from user-space

Add a misc device, "suspend_blocker", that allows user-space processes
to block auto suspend. The device has ioctls to create a suspend_blocker,
and to block and unblock suspend. To delete the suspend_blocker, close
the device.

Subject: [PATCH 6/8] PM: Add suspend blocking work.

Allow work to be queued that will block suspend while it is pending
or executing. To get the same functionality in the calling code often
requires a separate suspend_blocker for pending and executing work, or
additional state and locking. This implementation does add additional
state and locking, but this can be removed later if we add support for
suspend blocking work to the core workqueue code.

Subject: [PATCH 1/8] PM: Add suspend block api.

Adds /sys/power/policy that selects the behaviour of /sys/power/state.
After setting the policy to opportunistic, writes to /sys/power/state
become non-blocking requests that specify which suspend state to enter
when no suspend blockers are active. A special state, "on", stops the
process by activating the "main" suspend blocker.

+Opportunistic Suspend
+=====================
+
+Opportunistic suspend is a feature allowing the system to be suspended (ie. put
+into one of the available sleep states) automatically whenever it is regarded
+as idle. The suspend blockers framework described below is used to determine
+when that happens.
+
+The /sys/power/policy sysfs attribute is used to switch the system between the
+opportunistic and "forced" suspend behavior, where in the latter case the
+system is only suspended if a specific value, corresponding to one of the
+available system sleep states, is written into /sys/power/state. However, in
+the former, opportunistic, case the system is put into the sleep state
+corresponding to the value written to /sys/power/state whenever there are no
+active suspend blockers. The default policy is "forced". Also, suspend blockers
+do not affect sleep states entered from idle.
+
+When the policy is "opportunisic", there is a special value, "on", that can be
+written to /sys/power/state. This will block the automatic sleep request, as if
+a suspend blocker was used by a device driver. This way the opportunistic
+suspend may be blocked by user space whithout switching back to the "forced"
+mode.
+
+A suspend blocker is an object used to inform the PM subsystem when the system
+can or cannot be suspended in the "opportunistic" mode (the "forced" mode
+ignores suspend blockers). To use it, a device driver creates a struct
+suspend_blocker that must be initialized with suspend_blocker_init(). Before
+freeing the suspend_blocker structure or its name, suspend_blocker_destroy()
+must be called on it.
+
+A suspend blocker is activated using suspend_block(), which prevents the PM
+subsystem from putting the system into the requested sleep state in the
+"opportunistic" mode until the suspend blocker is deactivated with
+suspend_unblock(). Multiple suspend blockers may be active simultaneously, and
+the system will not suspend as long as at least one of them is active.
+
+If opportunistic suspend is already in progress when suspend_block() is called,
+it will abort the suspend, unless suspend_ops->enter has already been
+executed. If suspend is aborted this way, the system is usually not fully
+operational at that point. The suspend callbacks of some drivers may still be
+running and it usually takes time to restore the system to the fully operational
+state.
+
+For example, in cell phones or other embedded systems, where powering the screen
+is a significant drain on the battery, suspend blockers can be used to allow
+user-space to decide whether a keystroke received while the system is suspended
+should cause the screen to be turned back on or allow the system to go back into
+suspend. Use set_irq_wake or a platform specific api to make sure the keypad
+interrupt wakes up the cpu. Once the keypad driver has resumed, the sequence of
+events can look like this:
+
+- The Keypad driver gets an interrupt. It then calls suspend_block on the
+ keypad-scan suspend_blocker and starts scanning the keypad matrix.
+- The keypad-scan code detects a key change and reports it to the input-event
+ driver.
+- The input-event driver sees the key change, enqueues an event, and calls
+ suspend_block on the input-event-queue suspend_blocker.
+- The keypad-scan code detects that no keys are held and calls suspend_unblock
+ on the keypad-scan suspend_blocker.
+- The user-space input-event thread returns from select/poll, calls
+ suspend_block on the process-input-events suspend_blocker and then calls read
+ on the input-event device.
+- The input-event driver dequeues the key-event and, since the queue is now
+ empty, it calls suspend_unblock on the input-event-queue suspend_blocker.
+- The user-space input-event thread returns from read. If it determines that
+ the key should leave the screen off, it calls suspend_unblock on the
+ process_input_events suspend_blocker and then calls select or poll. The
+ system will automatically suspend again, since now no suspend blockers are
+ active.

+
+Driver API
+==========
+
+A driver can use the suspend block api by adding a suspend_blocker variable to
+its state and calling suspend_blocker_init. For instance:
+struct state {
+ struct suspend_blocker suspend_blocker;
+}
+
+init() {
+ suspend_blocker_init(&state->suspend_blocker, "suspend-blocker-name");
+}
+
+Before freeing the memory, suspend_blocker_destroy must be called:
+
+uninit() {
+ suspend_blocker_destroy(&state->suspend_blocker);
+}
+
+When the driver determines that it needs to run (usually in an interrupt
+handler) it calls suspend_block:
+ suspend_block(&state->suspend_blocker);
+
+When it no longer needs to run it calls suspend_unblock:
+ suspend_unblock(&state->suspend_blocker);
+
+Calling suspend_block when the suspend blocker is active or suspend_unblock when
+it is not active has no effect (i.e., these functions don't nest). This allows
+drivers to update their state and call suspend suspend_block or suspend_unblock
+based on the result.
+For instance:
+
+if (list_empty(&state->pending_work))
+ suspend_unblock(&state->suspend_blocker);
+else
+ suspend_block(&state->suspend_blocker);

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] Input: Block suspend while event queue is not empty.

Add an ioctl, EVIOCSSUSPENDBLOCK, to enable a suspend_blocker that will block
suspend while the event queue is not empty. This allows userspace code to
process input events while the device appears to be asleep.

Maybe work->active can be an atomic_t and the lock can be removed?

As it's calling cancel_work_sync(), the above is not true. As long as
no one is trying to queue it again, suspend_blocking_work_destroy() is
safe to call regardless of how the work has been used.

Other than the above, it looks good to me.

Thanks.

I need the spinlock to prevent the work from getting re-queued before
suspend_unblock.

I'm not sure what the best terminology is here, but cancel_work_sync()
only waits for work running on all the cpu-workqueues of the last
workqueue. So, if the caller queued the work on more than one
workqueue, suspend_blocking_work_destroy does not ensure that the
suspend_blocking_work structure is not still in use (it should trigger
the WARN_ON though).

Right, I was thinking about different cpu_workqueues and yeah, the
terminology gets pretty confusing.

This is better than before, but it still isn't ideal. Here's what I
mean:

> suspend blockers can be used to allow
> +user-space to decide whether a keystroke received while the system is suspended
> +should cause the screen to be turned back on or allow the system to go back into
> +suspend.

That's not right. Handling the screen doesn't need suspend blockers:
The program decides what to do and then either turns on the screen or
else writes "mem" to /sys/power/state. What suspend blockers add is
the ability to resolve races and satisfy multiple constraints when
going into suspend -- which has nothing to do with operating the
screen.

I _think_ what you're trying to get at can be expressed this way:

Here's an example showing how a cell phone or other embedded
system can handle keystrokes (or other input events) in the
presence of suspend blockers. Use set_irq_wake...

...

- The user-space input-event thread returns from read. It
carries out whatever activities are appropriate (for example,
powering up the display screen, running other programs, and so
on). When it is finished, it calls suspend_unblock on the
process_input_events suspend_blocker and then calls select or
poll. The system will automatically suspend again when it is
idle and no suspend blockers remain active.

Here and in suspend_unblock(), you can use list_move() in place of
list_del() followed by list_add().

I think this patch is fine.

Just one silly question,

why not

ret = queue_work(wq, &work->work);
if (ret) {
suspend_block(&work->suspend_blocker);
work->active++;
}

?

Afaics, we can't race with work->func() doing unblock, we hold work-lock.
And this way the code looks more clear.

Sorry, I had no chance to read the previous patches. After the quick look
at 1/8 I think it is OK to call suspend_block() twice, but still...

Or I missed something? Just curious.


Hmm... actually, queue_work() can also fail if we race with cancel_ which
temporary sets WORK_STRUCT_PENDING. In that case suspend_block() won't
be paired by unblock ?

Off-topic. We should probably export keventd_wq to avoid the duplications
like this.

Yeah, had about the same thought. cmwq exports it so I didn't suggest
it at this point but then again we don't really know whether or when
that series is going in so it might be a good idea to make that change
now. Hmm...

Would you mind if I changed the above so that "policy" doesn't even show up

Hmm. Why don't you want to put that initialization into pm_init() (in
kernel/power/main.c)?

Also, we already have one PM workqueue. It is used for runtime PM, but I guess
it may be used just as well for the opportunistic suspend. It is freezable,
but would it hurt?

As soon as there are no major objections. At least to my tree.

I'd rather like a follow-up patch changing that, if poss.

Indeed. And the debug statement might be moved out of the critical section IMHO.

I need to fix the race, but I can easily fix it in
cancel_suspend_blocking_work_sync instead. If the suspend blocker is
active for a long time, and DEBUG_SUSPEND_BLOCKER is enabled, we can
tell if the work is constantly re-queued or if the workqueue is stuck.

Well, perhaps that's worth adding a comment to the code. The debug part is not
immediately visible from the code itself.

Not necessarily, but why is it a mask? It looks like a 0/1 thing would be
sufficient.

BTW, I'd put parens around (debug_mask & DEBUG_FAILURE) for clarity.

That does not work though. Unless every key turns the screen on you
will have a race every time the user presses a key you want to ignore.

I'm not sure I agree with this. You cannot reliably turn the screen on
from user space when the user presses a wakeup-key without suspend
blockers.

Idle is irrelevant and needs to be removed. This new last step is also
no longer a concrete example, but if you really think is it better I
can change it.

If I move the debug statements out of the critical section you could
end entering suspend while the debug log claims a suspend blocker was
active, but I can move the debug statement to the start of the
critical section.

I don't mind, but It did not seem worth the trouble to hide it. It

If the driver that caused the wakeup does not use suspend blockers, we
the only choice is to try to suspend again. I want to know if this
happened. The stats patch disable this printk by default since it will
show up in the stats, and the timeout patch (not included here) delays
the retry.

I don't know if it is a strong objection, but I prefer that this api
is available to all drivers. I don't want to prevent a user from using
opportunistic suspend because a non-gpl driver could not use suspend
blockers. I changed the suspend blocking work functions to be gpl only
though, since they are not required, and the workqueue api is
available to gpl code anyway.

It was not needed before, but I changed pm_init to call
suspend_block_init after creating pm_wq.

No, it works, the freezable flag is just ignored when I call
pm_suspend and I don't run anything else on the workqueue while
threads are frozen. It does need to be a single threaded workqueue
though, so make sure you don't just change that.

On second thought, this only makes a difference if both conditions are
true. If we are constantly re-queuing the work but it is not stuck,
either method will show the debug message, so I used Oleg's
suggestion.

Umm... does it have to be EXPORTed? Suspend block API can't be built
as a module, right?

Rafael, can you elaborate a bit more on this? Just in case I missed
something while doing cmwq as it currently doesn't have such limit.

The suspend block api cannot be built as a module, but if
schedule_suspend_blocking_work will just call
queue_suspend_blocking_work(keventd_wq, work) it may as well be an
inline function which would require the export.

Currently _cpu_down() can't flush and/or stop the frozen cwq->thread.

IIRC this is fixable, but needs the nasty complications. We should
thaw + stop the frozen cwq->thread, then move the pending works to
another CPU.

I really don't like how this changes semantics of 'state'. I guess I'd
prefer leaving state as is -- forced transition to hibernation while
system is set to opportunistically suspend seems sane -- and adding
something like

/sys/power/autosleep

with 'off' or 'suspend' values?

Seems sane. ACK.

Cound we name it C_AUTO_SUSPEND... to reduce length and typo
potential?

Is the lock internal-use, or is API user allowed to use it?

No, I'm fine with the change itself, but I wouldn't like to make the suspend
blockers patchset depend on something in a different tree. If it's not the

Alternatively, you can add a new parameter for that, which I think I would prefer.

I think suspend blockers do allow user programs to make decisions.
Without suspend blockers some decisions can only be safely be made in
the kernel/drivers.

How about:

- The user-space input-event thread returns from read. If it
determines that the key should be ignored, it calls suspend_unblock on
the process_input_events suspend_blocker and then calls select or
poll. The system will automatically suspend again, since now no
suspend blockers are active.

If the key that was pressed instead should preform a simple action
(for example, adjusting the volume), this action can be performed
right before calling suspend_unblock on the process_input_events
suspend_blocker. However, if the key triggers a longer-running action,
that action needs its own suspend_blocker and suspend_block must be
called on that suspend blocker before calling suspend_unblock on the
process_input_events suspend_blocker.

Right, but this allows to make schedule_xxx/flush_scheduled_work
inline and kill more EXPORT_SYMBOL's, and cmwq exports it anyway
(iirc it also renames it).

But then schedule_suspend_blocking_work() in turn needs EXPORT_SYMBOL().


OK. Let's forget this patch. We can unify schedule_suspend_blocking_work
and queue_suspend_blocking_work later, or Arve can add this export into
his patch (without EXPORT_SYMBOL) - either way I agree. This is very
minor issue, I regret I originated this almost offtopic noise ;)

Yeah, the 'iirc' part was why I didn't want to export it at this point. :-)

Export keventd_wq. Otherwise, any helper on top of queue_work() has
to be copy-and-pasted to create the version which uses keventd_wq.

Note: we can do more cleanups with this change and kill EXPORT_SYMBOLs,
almost any function which currently uses keventd_wq can become the
trivial inline.

So. I'd suggestd these 2 simple patches for now.

Please note that 2/2 is really trivial, it only adds EXPORT_SYMBOL but
avoids the possible cleanups to minimize the conflicts with the pending
cmwq changes. However, please feel free to ignore this patch.

As for 1/2, imho it is always better to fix the bug asap, even if it is
minor.

Confused. Rafael, do you mean you dislike this change now?

sense to push the trivial/simple changes ahead. Unless they really
complicate the maintainging of the pending cmwq changes.

Freezable workqueues have to be singlethread or else there will be unfixable
races, so you can safely assume things will stay as they are in this respect.

What I meant was this: Without suspend blockers you can still turn the
screen on and off, but you can't avoid races. Therefore: You don't
need suspend blockers to handle the screen, but you do need them to
handle races.

Agreed; it's not a bad example. My objection is to the way the example
is presented.

> I think suspend blockers do allow user programs to make decisions.
> Without suspend blockers some decisions can only be safely be made in
> the kernel/drivers.

This is our real disagreement -- it's mainly a question of the meaning
of words. When one says "A allows B to make a decision", this means
that without A, B would literally be unable to decide what to do. It
wouldn't be able to "make up its mind" (like the donkey that starves
while stuck halfway between two piles of hay because it can't decide
which pile to eat).

That's not what you mean to say. In your case there's no difficulty in
making the choice -- the program knows exactly what it wants to do.
The problem is that without suspend blockers, it can't _carry out_ the
chosen action. To put it another way, the suspend blockers don't help
with deciding which action to take; rather they help with taking the
action after it has been decided upon.

Or put this way: Suppose suspend blockers were not available. Then the
desired action would not be safe, so the program wouldn't be able to
take it. The decision would thus be even simpler, since one of the
choices would be eliminated. In this way, lack of suspend blockers
makes the decision easier, not harder. So you shouldn't say that
suspend blockers allow the program to make the decision.

What your example _really_ shows is how a program can carry out a
prolonged action that requires the system to be awake for an extended
period of time. Even with suspend blockers, the right way to do this
safely isn't necessarily obvious. That's how the example helps.

Do you want to mention here that everything will work correctly even if
the system suspends before the thread can call select or poll?

That's good! I like it. Now if you can change the beginning of the
example, to say that it shows how programs should use suspend blockers
instead of showing that suspend blockers allow programs to make
decisions.

I think it would be better to keep the thing inside the kernel, at
least for now. It's not like we need to save cpu cycles spent on a
function call here (in block suspend API and in workqueue general).

I use a bit-mask in the main suspend blocker code. This makes it easy

Of course. You are confirming what I wrote immediately below: Suspend
blockers help resolve races. Note that this race has nothing to do
with the _screen_ in particular -- exactly the same race occurs if you
decide to turn on the audio speaker or some other piece of hardware.

Let's say that it has nothing to do _specifically_ with the screen.
_Any_ action you want to take in userspace is difficult to coordinate
with system suspends if you don't have suspend blockers.

Perhaps you would prefer to change this completely. Write up a
description of what can go wrong when suspend blockers _aren't_ used,
and show how suspend blockers can prevent the problem from occurring.

But whatever you do, don't make it appear that suspend blockers allow
user programs to make decisions (which is what you wrote before). They
don't -- programs can make whatever decisions they want. Suspend
blockers merely help them carry out the actions they have decided upon
in a safe manner.

And don't make it appear that suspend blockers can only be used for
solving screen-related problems.
