[PATCH] alarmtimer, PM: suspend: Expose a function from

[Pranav Prasad]

Hi!

I am proposing a patch in which I want to return the errno code ETIME
instead of EBUSY in enter_state() in the kernel suspend flow. Currently,
EBUSY is returned  when an imminent alarm is pending which is checked in
alarmtimer_suspend() in alarmtimer.c. The proposed patch series moves the
check to enter_state() in suspend.c to catch a potential suspend failure
early in the suspend flow. I want to replace EBUSY with ETIME to make it
more diagnosable in userspace, and may be more appropriate considering a
timer is about to expire.

I am reaching out to get an opinion from the
suspend maintainers if this would act as any potential risk in the suspend
flow which only has EBUSY, EAGAIN, and EINVAL as return error codes
currently. This has been developed as part of a patch series, and only the
patch of interest is below this message. Any feedback or insights would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Pranav Prasad

The alarmtimer driver currently fails suspend attempts when there is an
alarm pending within the next suspend_check_duration_ns nanoseconds, since
the   system is expected to wake up soon anyway. The entire suspend process
is initiated even though the system will immediately awaken. This process
includes substantial work before the suspend fails and additional work
afterwards to undo the failed suspend that was attempted. Therefore on
battery-powered devices that initiate suspend attempts from userspace, it
may be advantageous to be able to fail the suspend earlier in the suspend
flow to avoid power consumption instead of unnecessarily doing extra work.
As one data point, an analysis of a subset of Android devices showed that
imminent alarms account for roughly 40% of all suspend failures on average
leading to unnecessary power wastage.

To facilitate this, expose
function time_check_suspend_fail() from alarmtimer to be used by the power
subsystem to perform the check earlier in the suspend flow. Perform the
check in enter_state() and return early if an alarm is to be fired in the
next suspend_check_duration_ns nanoseconds, failing suspend.
