+ * internal transitions to various low-power modes which are transparent
* to the rest of the driver stack (such as a driver that's ON gating off
* clocks which are not in active use).
*
- * The externally visible transitions are handled with the help of the following
- * callbacks included in this structure:
- *
- * @prepare: Prepare the device for the upcoming transition, but do NOT change
- * its hardware state. Prevent new children of the device from being
- * registered after @prepare() returns (the driver's subsystem and
- * generally the rest of the kernel is supposed to prevent new calls to the
- * probe method from being made too once @prepare() has succeeded). If
- * @prepare() detects a situation it cannot handle (e.g. registration of a
- * child already in progress), it may return -EAGAIN, so that the PM core
- * can execute it once again (e.g. after the new child has been registered)
- * to recover from the race condition. This method is executed for all
- * kinds of suspend transitions and is followed by one of the suspend
- * callbacks: @suspend(), @freeze(), or @poweroff().
- * The PM core executes @prepare() for all devices before starting to
- * execute suspend callbacks for any of them, so drivers may assume all of
- * the other devices to be present and functional while @prepare() is being
- * executed. In particular, it is safe to make GFP_KERNEL memory
- * allocations from within @prepare(). However, drivers may NOT assume
- * anything about the availability of the user space at that time and it
- * is not correct to request firmware from within @prepare() (it's too
- * late to do that). [To work around this limitation, drivers may
- * register suspend and hibernation notifiers that are executed before the
- * freezing of tasks.]
+ * The externally visible transitions are handled with the help of callbacks
+ * included in this structure in such a way that two levels of callbacks are
+ * involved. First, the PM core executes callbacks provided by PM domains,
+ * device types, classes and bus types. They are the subsystem-level callbacks
+ * supposed to execute callbacks provided by device drivers, although they may
+ * choose not to do that. If the driver callbacks are executed, they have to
+ * collaborate with the subsystem-level callbacks to achieve the goals
+ * appropriate for the given system transition, given transition phase and the
+ * subsystem the device belongs to.
+ *
+ * @prepare: The principal role of this callback is to prevent new children of
+ * the device from being registered after it has returned (the driver's
+ * subsystem and generally the rest of the kernel is supposed to prevent
+ * new calls to the probe method from being made too once @prepare() has
+ * succeeded). If @prepare() detects a situation it cannot handle (e.g.
+ * registration of a child already in progress), it may return -EAGAIN, so
+ * that the PM core can execute it once again (e.g. after a new child has
+ * been registered) to recover from the race condition.
+ * This method is executed for all kinds of suspend transitions and is
+ * followed by one of the suspend callbacks: @suspend(), @freeze(), or
+ * @poweroff(). The PM core executes subsystem-level @prepare() for all
+ * devices before starting to invoke suspend callbacks for any of them, so
+ * generally devices may be assumed to be functional or to respond to
+ * runtime resume requests while @prepare() is being executed. However,
+ * device drivers may NOT assume anything about the availability of user
+ * space at that time and it is NOT valid to request firmware from within
+ * @prepare() (it's too late to do that). It also is NOT valid to allocate
+ * substantial amounts of memory from @prepare() in the GFP_KERNEL mode.
+ * [To work around these limitations, drivers may register suspend and
+ * hibernation notifiers to be executed before the freezing of tasks.]
*
* @complete: Undo the changes made by @prepare(). This method is executed for
* all kinds of resume transitions, following one of the resume callbacks:
* @resume(), @thaw(), @restore(). Also called if the state transition
- * fails before the driver's suspend callback (@suspend(), @freeze(),
- * @poweroff()) can be executed (e.g. if the suspend callback fails for one
+ * fails before the driver's suspend callback: @suspend(), @freeze() or
+ * @poweroff(), can be executed (e.g. if the suspend callback fails for one
* of the other devices that the PM core has unsuccessfully attempted to
* suspend earlier).
- * The PM core executes @complete() after it has executed the appropriate
- * resume callback for all devices.
+ * The PM core executes subsystem-level @complete() after it has executed
+ * the appropriate resume callbacks for all devices.
*
* @suspend: Executed before putting the system into a sleep state in which the
- * contents of main memory are preserved. Quiesce the device, put it into
- * a low power state appropriate for the upcoming system state (such as
- * PCI_D3hot), and enable wakeup events as appropriate.
+ * contents of main memory are preserved. The exact action to perform
+ * depends on the device's subsystem (PM domain, device type, class or bus
+ * type), but generally the device must be quiescent after subsystem-level
+ * @suspend() has returned, so that it doesn't do any I/O or DMA.
+ * Subsystem-level @suspend() is executed for all devices after invoking
+ * subsystem-level @prepare() for all of them.
*
* @resume: Executed after waking the system up from a sleep state in which the
- * contents of main memory were preserved. Put the device into the
- * appropriate state, according to the information saved in memory by the
- * preceding @suspend(). The driver starts working again, responding to
- * hardware events and software requests. The hardware may have gone
- * through a power-off reset, or it may have maintained state from the
- * previous suspend() which the driver may rely on while resuming. On most
- * platforms, there are no restrictions on availability of resources like
- * clocks during @resume().
+ * contents of main memory were preserved. The exact action to perform
+ * depends on the device's subsystem, but generally the driver is expected
+ * to start working again, responding to hardware events and software
+ * requests (the device itself may be left in a low-power state, waiting

+ * driver's @resume() callback is run depends on the platform and subsystem
+ * the device belongs to. On most platforms, there are no restrictions on
+ * availability of resources like clocks during @resume().
+ * Subsystem-level @resume() is executed for all devices after invoking
+ * subsystem-level @resume_noirq() for all of them.
*
* @freeze: Hibernation-specific, executed before creating a hibernation image.
- * Quiesce operations so that a consistent image can be created, but do NOT
- * otherwise put the device into a low power device state and do NOT emit
- * system wakeup events. Save in main memory the device settings to be
- * used by @restore() during the subsequent resume from hibernation or by
- * the subsequent @thaw(), if the creation of the image or the restoration
- * of main memory contents from it fails.
+ * Analogous to @suspend(), but it should not enable the device to signal
+ * wakeup events or change its power state. The majority of subsystems
+ * (with the notable exception of the PCI bus type) expect the driver-level
+ * @freeze() to save the device settings in memory to be used by @restore()
+ * during the subsequent resume from hibernation.
+ * Subsystem-level @freeze() is executed for all devices after invoking
+ * subsystem-level @prepare() for all of them.

* @thaw: Hibernation-specific, executed after creating a hibernation image OR

+ * if the creation of an image has failed. Also executed after a failing
* attempt to restore the contents of main memory from such an image.
* Undo the changes made by the preceding @freeze(), so the device can be
* operated in the same way as immediately before the call to @freeze().
+ * Subsystem-level @thaw() is executed for all devices after invoking
+ * subsystem-level @thaw_noirq() for all of them. It also may be executed
+ * directly after @freeze() in case of a transition error.
*
* @poweroff: Hibernation-specific, executed after saving a hibernation image.
- * Quiesce the device, put it into a low power state appropriate for the
- * upcoming system state (such as PCI_D3hot), and enable wakeup events as
- * appropriate.
+ * Analogous to @suspend(), but it need not save the device's settings in
+ * memory.
+ * Subsystem-level @poweroff() is executed for all devices after invoking
+ * subsystem-level @prepare() for all of them.
*
* @restore: Hibernation-specific, executed after restoring the contents of main
- * memory from a hibernation image. Driver starts working again,
- * responding to hardware events and software requests. Drivers may NOT
- * make ANY assumptions about the hardware state right prior to @restore().
- * On most platforms, there are no restrictions on availability of
- * resources like clocks during @restore().

- * @suspend_noirq: Complete the operations of ->suspend() by carrying out any
- * actions required for suspending the device that need interrupts to be
- * disabled

- * @resume_noirq: Prepare for the execution of ->resume() by carrying out any

+ * additional operations required for suspending the device that might be
+ * racing with its driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to
+ * run while @suspend_noirq() is being executed.
+ * It generally is expected that the device will be in a low-power state
+ * (appropriate for the target system sleep state) after subsystem-level
+ * @suspend_noirq() has returned successfully. If the device can generate
+ * system wakeup signals and is enabled to wake up the system, it should be
+ * configured to do so at that time. However, depending on the platform
+ * and device's subsystem, @suspend() may be allowed to put the device into
+ * the low-power state and configure it to generate wakeup signals, in
+ * which case it generally is not necessary to define @suspend_noirq().
+ *
+ * @resume_noirq: Prepare for the execution of @resume() by carrying out any
+ * operations required for resuming the device that might be racing with
+ * its driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to run while

+ * additional operations required for freezing the device that might be
+ * racing with its driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to
+ * run while @freeze_noirq() is being executed.
+ * The power state of the device should not be changed by either @freeze()
+ * or @freeze_noirq() and it should not be configured to signal system
+ * wakeup by any of these callbacks.
+ *
+ * @thaw_noirq: Prepare for the execution of @thaw() by carrying out any
+ * operations required for thawing the device that might be racing with its
+ * driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to run while
+ * @thaw_noirq() is being executed.
+ *
+ * @poweroff_noirq: Complete the actions started by @poweroff(). Analogous to
+ * @suspend_noirq(), but it need not save the device's settings in memory.

+ * @restore_noirq: Prepare for the execution of @restore() by carrying out any
