From c052bf82c6b00ca27aab0859addc4b3159dfd3a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonas Meurer Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2020 12:53:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] PM: suspend: Add sysfs attribute to control the "sync on suspend" behavior The sysfs attribute `/sys/power/sync_on_suspend` controls, whether or not filesystems are synced by the kernel before system suspend. Congruously, the behaviour of build-time switch CONFIG_SUSPEND_SKIP_SYNC is slightly changed: It now defines the run-tim default for the new sysfs attribute `/sys/power/sync_on_suspend`. The run-time attribute is added because the existing corresponding build-time Kconfig flag for (`CONFIG_SUSPEND_SKIP_SYNC`) is not flexible enough. E.g. Linux distributions that provide pre-compiled kernels usually want to stick with the default (sync filesystems before suspend) but under special conditions this needs to be changed. One example for such a special condition is user-space handling of suspending block devices (e.g. using `cryptsetup luksSuspend` or `dmsetup suspend`) before system suspend. The Kernel trying to sync filesystems after the underlying block device already got suspended obviously leads to dead-locks. Be aware that you have to take care of the filesystem sync yourself before suspending the system in those scenarios. Signed-off-by: Jonas Meurer Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
