[PATCH 0/9] PM: Fixes related to suspend and hibernation for 2.6.29

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi Len,

The following are fixes related to suspend and hibernation I have collected
over the last couple of weeks.  Some of them are in -mm.  I think they all are
2.6.29 material.

1/9 and 2/9 fix hibernation regression caused by the async boot changes,
I hope Greg will not object if they go through your tree.

3/9 fixes a long-standing hibernation issue that cause the resume partition
to become unuseable after two consecutive failing attempts to hibernate.

4/9 fixes build of kprobes.c with CONFIG_PM unset.

5/9 and 6/9 clean up memory freeing code used during hibernation.

7/9 fixes a bug related to the use of PM notifiers during hibernation with
the help of the user land interface.

8/9 and 9/9 fix the handling of consoles during suspend/hibernation.

Please add these patches to the suspend branch and push to Linus for 2.6.29.

Thanks,
Rafael

[PATCH 1/9] Consolidate driver_probe_done() loops into one place

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

there's a few places that currently loop over driver_probe_done(), and
I'm about to add another one. This patch abstracts it into a helper
to reduce duplication.

[PATCH 2/9] PM/resume: wait for device probing to finish

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

the resume code does not currently wait for device probing to finish.
Even without async function calls this is dicey and not correct,
but with async function calls during the boot sequence this is going
to get hit more...

This patch adds the synchronization using the newly introduced helper.

[PATCH 3/9] PM/hibernate: fix "swap breaks after hibernation failures"

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk>

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12239

The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device.
This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't
affect the image which gets resumed.  But it means multiple _failed_
hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use!

swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of().
It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device.

Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device
passed to it.  So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode.  This is by design
and other callers expect this behaviour.  The fix is for swap_type_of() to take
a reference on the inode using bdget().

[PATCH 9/9] PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphore

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com>

This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the
console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this
thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console
semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would
be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch
on suspend or resume to hang forever.

Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console
for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for
clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change
suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel
may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem
is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to
prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

1/9 and 2/9 are also in the Greg's tree, AFAICS.

Greg, do you intend to push them to Linus?  In that case I think it's better if
Len drops them.

I was not planning to send them for .29, sorry I got confused.  I'll
drop them from my tree and Len can send them all to Linus now.

Is that ok?

they really really need to go into .29, they are a fix for a regression.

I think it's because both of us (Len and I) think the other is doing it
:(

Ok, so, Len, are you willing to send these to Linus this week?

I took them all, and added both of you to the cc, so if/when things break 
and get bisected to this series, both of you should be cc'd on the 
discussion.
