Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Consider two devices, A and B, where B is a child of A, and B utilizes asynchronous suspend (it does not matter whether A is sync or async). If B fails to suspend_noirq() or suspend_late(), or is interrupted by a wakeup (pm_wakeup_pending()), then it aborts and sets the async_error variable. However, device A does not (immediately) check the async_error variable; it may continue to run its own suspend_noirq()/suspend_late() callback. This is bad. We can resolve this problem by doing our error and wakeup checking (particularly, for the async_error flag) after waiting for children to suspend, instead of before. This also helps align the logic for the noirq and late suspend cases with the logic in __device_suspend(). It's easy to observe this erroneous behavior by, for example, forcing a device to sleep a bit in its suspend_noirq() (to ensure the parent is waiting for the child to complete), then return an error, and watch the parent suspend_noirq() still get called. (Or similarly, fake a wakeup event at the right (or is it wrong?) time.) Fixes: de377b39 (PM / sleep: Asynchronous threads for suspend_late) Fixes: 28b6fd6e (PM / sleep: Asynchronous threads for suspend_noirq) Reported-by:Jeffy Chen <jeffy.chen@rock-chips.com> Signed-off-by:
