Furthermore, the *_noirq phases run at a time when IRQ handlers have been disabled (except for those marked with the IRQ_WAKEUP flag). -Most phases use bus, type, and class callbacks (that is, methods defined in -dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, and dev->class->pm). The prepare and complete -phases are exceptions; they use only bus callbacks. When multiple callbacks -are used in a phase, they are invoked in the order: <class, type, bus> during -power-down transitions and in the opposite order during power-up transitions. -For example, during the suspend phase the PM core invokes - - dev->class->pm.suspend(dev); - dev->type->pm.suspend(dev); - dev->bus->pm.suspend(dev); - -before moving on to the next device, whereas during the resume phase the core -invokes - - dev->bus->pm.resume(dev); - dev->type->pm.resume(dev); - dev->class->pm.resume(dev); +All phases use bus, type, or class callbacks (that is, methods defined in +dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, or dev->class->pm). These callbacks are mutually +exclusive, so if the device type provides a struct dev_pm_ops object pointed to +by its pm field (i.e. both dev->type and dev->type->pm are defined), the +callbacks included in that object (i.e. dev->type->pm) will be used. Otherwise, +if the class provides a struct dev_pm_ops object pointed to by its pm field +(i.e. both dev->class and dev->class->pm are defined), the PM core will use the +callbacks from that object (i.e. dev->class->pm). Finally, if the pm fields of +both the device type and class objects are NULL (or those objects do not exist), +the callbacks provided by the bus (that is, the callbacks from dev->bus->pm) +will be used (this allows device types to override callbacks provided by bus +types or classes if necessary). These callbacks may in turn invoke device- or driver-specific methods stored in dev->driver->pm, but they don't have to. |
