PM / Runtime: Don't enable interrupts while running in_interrupt

2011-01-25T19:50:07Z

This patch (as1445) fixes a bug in the runtime PM core left over from the addition of the no_callbacks flag. If this flag is set then it is possible for rpm_suspend() to be called in_interrupt, so when releasing spinlocks it's important not to re-enable interrupts. To avoid an unnecessary save-and-restore of the interrupt flag, the patch also inlines a pm_request_idle() call. This fixes Bugzilla #27482. (The offending code was added in 2.6.37, so it's not necessary to apply this to any earlier stable kernels.) Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Reported-by: tim blechmann CC: Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05Z

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

PM / Runtime: Generic resume shouldn't set RPM_ACTIVE unconditionally

2010-12-24T14:04:06Z

The __pm_generic_resume() function changes the given device's runtime PM status to RPM_ACTIVE if its driver's callback returns 0, but it only should do that if the rumtime PM is enabled for the device. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM: Permit registration of parentless devices during system suspend

2010-12-24T14:02:44Z

The registration of a new parentless device during system suspend will not lead to any complications affecting the PM core (the device will be effectively seen after the subsequent resume has completed), so remove the code used for detection of such events. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
