Hi Dmitry,
Sorry for the late reply! I finally came back on this patch. :-)
After I dug more into the issues, this is my understanding now:

As I checked the code in drivers/ , it doesn't look commom for a driver to
distinguish between thaw() and restore(). Typically a driver uses the macro
SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS() to define the dev_pm_ops, and the macro uses the
same function resume_fn as thaw() and restore().

BTW, the macro already uses the same function suspend_fn as suspend() and 
freeze(), and uses the same function resume_fn as resume() and restore(). And, 
it looks unusual for a driver to provide an empty thaw(), if any. If I follow your
suggestions, I'll have to fix the vmbus driver first (i.e. drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c: 
vmbus_pm()) by manually assigning a new function vmbus_thaw() to the 
thaw() dev_pm_op, and vmbus_thaw() should call the Hyper-V keyboard 
driver's empty hv_kbd_thaw(), meaning I have to add a .thaw function
pointer to the struct hv_driver. IMHO all these changes look too big just for
the rare corner cases of the unexpected wake-up issues.

More important, even if we make the suggested changes, we actually only fix
the unexpected wakeup caused by PMSG_THAW , and there are still some corner
cases of failures (please see below).

Before any of the dev_pm_op is called, the global counter 'pm_abort_suspend'
can be already non-zero, meaning pm_wakeup_pending() is true, so
try_to_freeze_tasks() returns -EBUSY, i.e. hibernate() -> freeze_processes()
or hibernate() -> hibernation_snapshot() -> freeze_kernel_threads() fails.

When the VM boots up and tries to resume from the saved file from
disk, before the fresh new kernel's Hyper-V keyboard device is PMSG_QUIESCE'ed,
the global counter 'pm_abort_suspend' can be already non-zero (I can cause this
scenario by holding the Enter key when the kernel starts), so
pm_wakeup_pending() is true, and the below freeze_processes() or
device_suspend() can return -EBUSY and the resume process fails.

 software_resume() ->
    freeze_processes()
      pm_wakeup_clear(true) -> Note: this resets the counter to 0.
      try_to_freeze_tasks ->
        pm_wakeup_pending
    load_image_and_restore() ->
      hibernation_restore() ->
        dpm_suspend_start() ->
          dpm_suspend() ->
            device_suspend() ->
              __device_suspend() ->
                pm_wakeup_pending()

IMO on a Linux physical machine these issues should happen as well. I think
we can fix them separately. For this patch, I suggest we keep it simple like
the below:

[PATCH v2] Input: hyperv-keyboard: Add the support of hibernation

During the suspend process and resume process, if there is any keyboard
event, there is a small chance the suspend and the resume process can be
aborted because of hv_kbd_on_receive() -> pm_wakeup_hard_event().

This behavior can be avoided by disabling the Hyper-V keyboard device as
a wakeup source:

echo disabled > /sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/hyperv_keyboard/XXX/power/wakeup
(XXX is the device's GUID).

I plan to post this as v2.

Looking forward to your comments!
