[PATCH] Fix the outstanding issue with hangs on insert/removal ofmmc cards

From: Maxim Levitsky
Date: Fri Jun 11 2010 - 15:00:15 EST


Hi,

After thinking a lot about how to fix properly the hangs caused by
insert/removal of mmc card during suspend/resume, and default behavior
of not trusting the card persistence over suspend, I finally come to
conclusion that changing the del_gendisk is wrong.

First of all there are 2 types of removal possible. First one happens
when system detects that some device is gone. At that point there is
really no point in syncing it.

The other type of removal is controlled removal, usually on user
request. Surly we must sync the device of this request.
This type of removal _shouldn't_ happen during suspend/resume
transaction. The only case when it does is today to protect against user
carelessness of switching the cards during suspend.

I think that it is just wrong to sync the device in suspend/resume time.
At that time userspace is frozen, but also its not known which drivers
are still running. They might even suspend asynchronously...
So, such cases should be moved to pm-notifier, thing that my patch does
for mmc.
Other users should be fixed as well.

We can, in addition to that, add a temporary hack to del_gendisk with
loud WARN_ON though.

If card is really removed during suspend, then we can just introduce
del_gendisk_dead or something like that which will be safe to call
during suspend.

I didn't do that but rather I made the card detection thread freezeable,
thus eliminated the whole problem.
If you remove the card during suspend, system will notice at end of
resume.

MMC: fix all hangs related to mmc/sd card insert/removal during suspend/resume.

If you don't use CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME, card will now be removed
in pm notifier, while userspace is still running.
Thus it will be possible to sync it properly.

Card detect workqueue is now freezable, therefore a card insert/removal event will
wait till userspace is unfrozen.

Tested with and without CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME, with suspend and hibernate.
