[RFC PATCHv2 1/2] drivers: power: Add watchdog timer to catch drivers which lockup during suspend/resume.

From: Zoran Markovic
Date: Fri May 10 2013 - 17:29:45 EST


From: Benoit Goby <benoit@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Below is a patch from android kernel that detects a driver suspend/resume
lockup and captures dump in the kernel log. Please review and provide
comments.

Rather than hard-lock the kernel, dump the suspend/resume thread stack and
BUG() when a driver takes too long to suspend/resume. The timeout is set to
12 seconds to be longer than the usbhid 10 second timeout.

Exclude from the watchdog the time spent waiting for children that
are resumed asynchronously and time every device, whether or not they
resumed synchronously.

This patch is targeted for mobile devices where a suspend/resume lockup
could cause a system reboot and catch user's attention. Information
about failing device can later be retrieved from captured log in
subsequent boot session.

The hardware watchdog timer is likely suspended during this time and
couldn't be relied upon. The soft-lockup detector would eventually tell
that tasks are not scheduled, but would provide little context as to why.
The patch hence uses system timer and assumes it is still active while the
devices are suspended/resumed.
