Restoring back the system state from MMC after a successfulhibernation

[A, Raghu]

Hi, 

I am trying a hibernate-restore procedure on my system, wherein I store the context image on a swap partition on a MMC device (/dev/mmcblk0). The hibernation process happens smoothly. However, when I try to restore back, after including "resume = /dev/mmcblk0" in the bootargs, I find that the MMC card does not get detected by the time late_initcall(software_resume) is called, as a result of which the restore does not happen.

To resolve the problem, I have included a mmc_flush_scheduled_work() call immediately after the mmc_detect_change(host, 0) call in mmc_start_host(struct mmc_host *host) function defined in linux/drivers/mmc/core/core.c, so that instead of mmc_rescan happening sometime later, it now happens right away, and the MMC card gets detected at the end of the host's .probe() callback itself.

/*****

void mmc_start_host(struct mmc_host *host)

{
        mmc_power_off(host);
        mmc_detect_change(host, 0);
        mmc_flush_scheduled_work();
}

The host's probe() routine calls mmc_add_host , which in turn calls mmc_start_host.

*****/

Is this approach correct? Or is there any other way I can get the MMC card detected before late_initcall(software_resume) happens?

Kindly CC the reply to me as I am not a part of the linux kernel mailing list.

Thanks and Regards
Raghu A.
