The function prototype mismatches in call stack:

up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the

down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0.
That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses

device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable.

PM: Runtime PM documentation update
PM / Runtime: Use device type and device class callbacks
PM: Use pm_runtime_put_sync in system resume
PM: Measure device suspend and resume times
PM: Make the initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume complete
The power management of some devices is handled through device types
and device classes rather than through bus types. Since these
devices may also benefit from using the run-time power management
core, extend it so that the device type and device class run-time PM
callbacks can be taken into consideration by it if the bus type
callback is not defined.

This patch (as1317) fixes a bug in the PM core. When a device is
resumed following a system sleep, the core decrements the device's
runtime PM usage counter but doesn't issue an idle notification if the
counter reaches 0. This could prevent an otherwise unused device from
being runtime-suspended again after the system sleep.
The fix is to call pm_runtime_put_sync() instead of
pm_runtime_put_noidle().

Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.
Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.
Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

Commit f251177486
(PM: Add initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume) introduced
basic timing instrumentation, needed for a scritps/bootgraph.pl
equivalent or humans, but it missed the fact that bus types and
device classes which haven't been switched to using struct dev_pm_ops
objects yet need special handling. As a result, the suspend/resume
timing information is only available for devices whose bus types or
device classes use struct dev_pm_ops objects, so the majority of
devices is not covered.
Fix this by adding basic suspend/resume timing instrumentation for
devices whose bus types and device classes still don't use struct
dev_pm_ops objects for power management. To reduce code duplication
move the timing code to helper functions.

This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.
This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.
The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.
We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.
When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.
Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps:
- Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node
information.
- Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU.
This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation
and "release" during deallocation.
At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of
the system using the sysfs tunable "online".
It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU
for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device
tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to
the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail.
The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs
tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable.
This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on
all architectures except PPC_PSERIES

Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to
Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2
of the patch.
In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an
interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system.
This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate
cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each
arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding
and removing cpus to/from the system.
This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts
from writes to the sysfs files.
The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
capability will have the files created.
