  • In the snapshot_ioctl() function, under SNAPSHOT_FREEZE, the code below
    freeze_processes() is a bit unintuitive. Improve it by replacing the
    second 'if' condition with an 'else' clause.

  • Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 (PM / Hibernate: Freeze
    kernel threads after preallocating memory) moved the freezing of kernel
    threads to hibernation_snapshot() function.

    So now, if the call to hibernation_snapshot() returns early due to a
    successful hibernation test, the caller has to thaw processes to ensure
    that the system gets back to its original state.

    But in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE hibernation ioctl, the caller does not thaw
    processes in case hibernation_snapshot() returned due to a successful
    freezer test. Fix this issue. But note we still send the value of 'in_suspend'
    (which is now 0) to userspace, because we are not in an error path per-se,
    and moreover, the value of in_suspend correctly depicts the situation here.

  • freeze_processes() failure path is rather messy. Freezing is canceled
    for workqueues and tasks which aren't frozen yet but frozen tasks are
    left alone and should be thawed by the caller and of course some
    callers (xen and kexec) didn't do it.

    This patch updates __thaw_task() to handle cancelation correctly and
    makes freeze_processes() and freeze_kernel_threads() call
    thaw_processes() on failure instead so that the system is fully thawed
    on failure. Unnecessary [suspend_]thaw_processes() calls are removed
    from kernel/power/hibernate.c, suspend.c and user.c.

    While at it, restructure error checking if clause in suspend_prepare()
    to be less weird.

    -v2: Srivatsa spotted missing removal of suspend_thaw_processes() in
    suspend_prepare() and error in commit message. Updated.

  • When opening /dev/snapshot device, snapshot_open() creates memory
    bitmaps which are freed in snapshot_release(). But if any of the
    callbacks called by pm_notifier_call_chain() returns NOTIFY_BAD, open()
    fails, snapshot_release() is never called and bitmaps are not freed.
    Next attempt to open /dev/snapshot then triggers BUG_ON() check in
    create_basic_memory_bitmaps(). This happens e.g. when vmwatchdog module
    is active on s390x.

  • The SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl used for implementing the feature allowing
    one to suspend to RAM after creating a hibernation image is currently
    broken, because it doesn't clear the "ready" flag in the struct
    snapshot_data object handled by it. As a result, the
    SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE doesn't work correctly after SNAPSHOT_S2RAM has
    returned and the user space hibernate task cannot thaw the other
    processes as appropriate. Make SNAPSHOT_S2RAM clear data->ready
    to fix this problem.

  • If the process using the hibernate user space interface closes

  • There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of
    a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents
    of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the
    kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory
    corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on
    systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often.

    This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear
    in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the
    saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or
    the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose
    it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and
    suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask.

    This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

  • There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous

    call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation.

  • We currently use a PM notifier to disable user mode helpers before suspend
    and hibernation and to re-enable them during resume. However, this is not
    an ideal solution, because if any drivers want to upload firmware into
    memory before suspend, they have to use a PM notifier for this purpose and
    there is no guarantee that the ordering of PM notifiers will be as
    expected (ie. the notifier that disables user mode helpers has to be run
    after the driver's notifier used for uploading the firmware).

    For this reason, it seems better to move the disabling and enabling of
    user mode helpers to separate functions that will be called by the PM core
    as necessary.

    the ioctls from being executed concurrently.

    In addition, although it is only possible to open /dev/snapshot once, the task
    which has done that may spawn a child that will inherit the open descriptor,
    so in theory they can call snapshot_write(), snapshot_read() and
    snapshot_release() concurrently. pm_mutex can also be used for mutual
    exclusion in such cases.

  • The syncing of filesystems from within the freezer is generally not needed.
    Also, if there's an ext3 filesystem loopback-mounted from a FUSE one, the
    syncing results in writes to it and deadlocks. Similarly, it will deadlock if
    FUSE implements sync.

    Change freeze_processes() so that it doesn't execute sys_sync() and make the
    suspend and hibernation code path sync filesystems independently of the
    freezer.

  • At least on some machines it is necessary to prepare the ACPI firmware for the
    restoration of the system memory state from the hibernation image if the
    "platform" mode of hibernation has been used. Namely, in that cases we need
    to disable the GPEs before replacing the "boot" kernel with the "frozen"
    kernel (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7887). After the
    restore they will be re-enabled by hibernation_ops->finish(), but if the
    restore fails, they have to be re-enabled by the restore code explicitly.

    For this purpose we can introduce two additional hibernation operations,
    called pre_restore() and restore_cleanup() and call them from the restore code
    path. Still, they should be called if the "platform" mode of hibernation has
    been used, so we need to pass the information about the hibernation mode from
    the "frozen" kernel to the "boot" kernel in the image header.

    Apparently, we can't drop the disabling of GPEs before the restore because of
    Bug #7887 .  We also can't do it unconditionally, because the GPEs wouldn't
    have been enabled after a successful restore if the suspend had been done in
    the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' mode.

    In principle we could (and probably should) unconditionally disable the GPEs
    before each snapshot creation *and* before the restore, but then we'd have to
    unconditionally enable them after the snapshot creation as well as after the
    restore (or restore failure)   Still, for this purpose we'd need to modify
    acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep() and acpi_leave_sleep_state() and we'd have to
    introduce some mechanism synchronizing the disablind/enabling of the GPEs with
    the device drivers' .suspend()/.resume() routines and with
    disable_/enable_nonboot_cpus().  However, this would have affected the
    suspend (ie. s2ram) code as well as the hibernation, which I'd like to avoid
    in this patch series.

  • In the face of the recent change of suspend code ordering (cf.
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=117938245931603&w=2) we should also modify
    the code ordering in swsusp so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is executed
    after device_suspend().

    However, for this purpose it seems reasonable to eliminate the code
    duplication between kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c first. By
    eliminating it we can reduce the size of user.c quite substantially and remove
    the maintenance difficulty with making essentially the same changes in two
    different places.

    Moreover, we should also remove the calls to "platform" functions from the
    restore code path, since it doesn't carry out any power transition of the
    system, but we generally need to disable the GPEs before the restore if the
    'platform' hibernation mode has been used. To do this, we can introduce two
    new hibernation_ops to be used in the restore code.

    This patch:

    Make the code hibernation code in kernel/power/user.c be functionally
    equivalent to the corresponding code in kernel/power/disk.c , as it should be.

    The calls to the platform functions removed by this patch are incorrect. They
    should be replaced with some other "platform" invocations that will be
    introduced in one of the subsequent patches.
