psci_init_system_suspend() invokes suspend_set_ops() very early during

This leads to kernel command line mem_sleep_default=s2idle not working
as mem_sleep_current gets changed to deep via suspend_set_ops() and never
changes back to s2idle.

Move psci_init_system_suspend() to late_initcall() to make sure kernel
command line mem_sleep_default=s2idle sets up s2idle as default suspend
mode.

Why can't we fix it the other way around, namely enforce
mem_sleep_current according to the mem_sleep_default command line
even if suspend_set_ops() was already called ?

yes, this may be fixed other way also and i did not implement other way since mem_sleep_default_setup() only update mem_sleep_default and to avoid this race, it needs to also need to update mem_sleep_current along
with it. Below change also resolves the issue.

--- a/kernel/power/suspend.c
+++ b/kernel/power/suspend.c
@@ -192,6 +192,7 @@ static int __init mem_sleep_default_setup(char *str)
if (mem_sleep_labels[state] &&
!strcmp(str, mem_sleep_labels[state])) {
mem_sleep_default = state;
+ mem_sleep_current = state;
break;
}

however it may be erasing thin line between mem_sleep_default v/s mem_sleep_current as both gets updated while set up of mem_sleep_default.

if this change looks Ok, i can send v2 with it.


Just asking, I am not super keen on using initcalls ordering, it
looks fragile to me.

i agree with above.

Thanks,
