We use state 0 (Low Power Mode with state retention) for device runtime pm support and state 1 (power off with no state retention) for system suspend resume case. Without [1], we will meet the issue that all domains runtime suspended will stay at low power mode instead of power off during system suspend which consumes more power. 1. https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/log/drivers/base/power?h=imx_4.14.78_1.0.0_ga 2. https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/tree/drivers/soc/imx/pm-domains.c?h=imx_4.14.78_1.0.0_ga#n325 > > > > Let's give the power domain a chance to switch to the deepest state in > > case it's already off but in an intermediate low power state. > > > > Signed-off-by: Dong Aisheng <aisheng.dong@nxp.com> > > --- > > drivers/base/power/domain.c | 18 +++++++++++++++++- > > include/linux/pm_domain.h | 1 + > > 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/base/power/domain.c b/drivers/base/power/domain.c > > index 61cd500..847a69e 100644 > > --- a/drivers/base/power/domain.c > > +++ b/drivers/base/power/domain.c > > @@ -959,7 +959,17 @@ static void genpd_sync_power_off(struct > > generic_pm_domain *genpd, bool use_lock, { > > struct gpd_link *link; > > > > - if (!genpd_status_on(genpd) || genpd_is_always_on(genpd)) > > + /* > > + * Give the power domain a chance to switch to the deepest state > in > > + * case it's already off but in an intermediate low power state. > > + */ > > + genpd->state_idx_saved = genpd->state_idx; > > + > > + if (genpd_is_always_on(genpd)) > > + return; > > + > > + if (!genpd_status_on(genpd) && > > + genpd->state_idx == (genpd->state_count - 1)) > > return; > > This means that the ->power_off() callback may be called twice in a raw, for > the genpd in question and in cases of multiple idle states. > It could be a problem. > > Well, currently it may not be a real issue, as I doubt there is rather few genpd > backend drivers supporting multiple idle states, but still. > So far, I've no idea what the problem could be as there's no multi states power domain drivers in tree. For IMX, there's no problem as the driver could handle it well. The core code just provides an interface for driver to handle such requirement.

A problem could arise if the drivers need to do something before they can switch from retention to OFF (e.g. save context). AFAICT without seeing the affected drivers in your solution, I can't tell if the drivers have an opportunity to save context to prepare for off-mode. > For IMX, there's no problem as the driver could handle it well. In that case, I guess you're assuming that system suspsend will always hit off-mode, so all your drivers always save context in their suspend callbacks? > The core code just provides an interface for driver to handle such requirement. I think we're up against a terminology problem/confusion since we added multiple states around what does "off" really mean. For example, should "off" mean in the deepest, possible state, or does it mean idle in the last selected state? Before we had multiple states, it always meant the former, and the code was built around the idea of really, truly off (zero volts, no retention.) With multiple states, it's now a bit ambigious. In this series, you're using it to mean both, which is part of the confusion. Stated differently, while we technically have support for mulitple states, in the core we still just have 2: enum gpd_status { GPD_STATE_ACTIVE = 0, /* PM domain is active */ GPD_STATE_POWER_OFF, /* PM domain is off */ }; So bascially we have to make a decsion whether retention is _ACTIVE or _OFF. This series is assuming it should be _OFF, but when we were adding multiple states, I had always assumed retention states would be considered _ACTIVE. Yes, I know tha neither "active" nor "off" accurately defines retention, but since there is still voltage applied, it may not be active, but it's definitely not off. When we were adding multiple states, I had always imagined domains with multiple states would handle this kind of thing with a governor. Retention states whould leave the domain in GPD_STATE_ACTIVE, and the governor would then determine when to switch to the real off state. Note that this gets you more flexiblity than just switching to off in suspend. You could also use the governor to let the domain switch to off based on other criteria such as long idle time, or QoS criteria. It seems you may be the first upstream solution to start really exercising the multiple states, so we may still have some kinks to work out, but thanks for pushing your changes upstream so we can work all this out together.

Governor is responsible for selecting a suitable low power state starting from deepest to enter and PM core will use it to power down the domain and regards it as GPD_STATE_POWER_OFF. That means from PM core point of view, all low power states decided by governor to enter are "off". And this is for runtime pm management. When system sleep, PM core will bypass the governor and directly choose the deepest state of power off to save the maximum power. I can't say this is not good as it's exactly what we're using internally and can meet our requirements. However, I do believe we could improve the PM core to be aware of RETENTION state (e.g. add a flag for state definition?) and notify the driver whether the state will be lost and saving&restore required. static bool default_power_down_ok(struct dev_pm_domain *pd) { ... /* Find a state to power down to, starting from the deepest. */ while (!__default_power_down_ok(pd, genpd->state_idx)) { if (genpd->state_idx == 0) { genpd->cached_power_down_ok = false; break; } genpd->state_idx--; } ... } static int genpd_power_off(struct generic_pm_domain *genpd, bool one_dev_on, unsigned int depth) { ... if (genpd->gov && genpd->gov->power_down_ok) { if (!genpd->gov->power_down_ok(&genpd->domain)) return -EAGAIN; } ret = _genpd_power_off(genpd, true); genpd->status = GPD_STATE_POWER_OFF; ... } > Note that this gets you more flexiblity than just switching to off in suspend. > You could also use the governor to let the domain switch to off based on other > criteria such as long idle time, or QoS criteria. > > It seems you may be the first upstream solution to start really exercising the > multiple states, so we may still have some kinks to work out, but thanks for > pushing your changes upstream so we can work all this out together. > It's great to have you professional guys' suggestion and helping review.

Currently the generic power domain will power off the domain if all devices in it have been stopped during system suspend. It is done by checking if the domain is active in genpd_sync_power_off, then disable it. However, for power domains supporting multiple low power states, it may have already entered an intermediate low power state by runtime PM before system suspend and the status is already GPD_STATE_POWER_OFF which results in then the power domain stay at an intermediate low power state during system suspend. Then genpd_sync_power_off will keep it at the low power state instead of completely gate off it. Let's give the power domain a chance to switch to the deepest state in case it's already off but in an intermediate low power state.
