Subject: [PATCH] power: use EXPORT_SYMBOL() to export symbol
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 12:44:45 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820034445.2562231-1-dongbum.kim@lge.com> (raw)
Add EXPORT_SYMBOL() to mark freeze_timeout_msecs symbol as visible.
freeze_timeout_msecs defines the timeout for try_to_freeze_tasks. If
tasks cannot be frozen within this timeout, try_to_freeze_tasks fails,
and causes suspend or hibernation to fail.
For example, a device driver may need to perform certain operations
during the freezing phase. In some cases, these operations can take
longer than freeze_timeout_msecs to complete. To allow such drivers to
limit their work appropriately and transition to the frozen state before
the timeout expires, export freeze_timeout_msecs so that it can be
referenced by other kernel components.
