1. Overview
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The PCI Power Management Specification was introduced between the PCI 2.1 and
|
|
PCI 2.2 Specifications. It a standard interface for controlling various
|
|
power management operations.
|
|
|
|
Implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional, as are several sub-components of
|
|
it. If a device supports the PCI PM Spec, the device will have an 8 byte
|
|
capability field in its PCI configuration space. This field is used to describe
|
|
and control the standard PCI power management features.
|
|
|
|
The PCI PM spec defines 4 operating states for devices (D0 - D3) and for buses
|
|
(B0 - B3). The higher the number, the less power the device consumes. However,
|
|
the higher the number, the longer the latency is for the device to return to
|
|
an operational state (D0).
|
|
|
|
There are actually two D3 states. When someone talks about D3, they usually
|
|
mean D3hot, which corresponds to an ACPI D2 state (power is reduced, the
|
|
device may lose some context). But they may also mean D3cold, which is an
|
|
ACPI D3 state (power is fully off, all state was discarded); or both.
|
|
|
|
Bus power management is not covered in this version of this document.
|
|
|
|
Note that all PCI devices support D0 and D3cold by default, regardless of
|
|
whether or not they implement any of the PCI PM spec.
|
|
|
|
The possible state transitions that a device can undergo are:
|
|
|
|
+---------------------------+
|
|
| Current State | New State |
|
|
+---------------------------+
|
|
| D0 | D1, D2, D3|
|
|
+---------------------------+
|
|
| D1 | D2, D3 |
|
|
+---------------------------+
|
|
| D2 | D3 |
|
|
+---------------------------+
|
|
| D1, D2, D3 | D0 |
|
|
+---------------------------+
|
|
|
|
Note that when the system is entering a global suspend state, all devices will
|
|
be placed into D3 and when resuming, all devices will be placed into D0.
|
|
However, when the system is running, other state transitions are possible.
|
|
|
|
2. How The PCI Subsystem Handles Power Management
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The PCI suspend/resume functionality is accessed indirectly via the Power
|
|
Management subsystem. At boot, the PCI driver registers a power management
|
|
callback with that layer. Upon entering a suspend state, the PM layer iterates
|
|
through all of its registered callbacks. This currently takes place only during
|
|
APM state transitions.
|
|
|
|
Upon going to sleep, the PCI subsystem walks its device tree twice. Both times,
|
|
it does a depth first walk of the device tree. The first walk saves each of the
|
|
device's state and checks for devices that will prevent the system from entering
|
|
a global power state. The next walk then places the devices in a low power
|
|
state.
|
|
|
|
The first walk allows a graceful recovery in the event of a failure, since none
|
|
of the devices have actually been powered down.
|
|
|
|
In both walks, in particular the second, all children of a bridge are touched
|
|
before the actual bridge itself. This allows the bridge to retain power while
|
|
its children are being accessed.
|
|
|
|
Upon resuming from sleep, just the opposite must be true: all bridges must be
|
|
powered on and restored before their children are powered on. This is easily
|
|
accomplished with a breadth-first walk of the PCI device tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. PCI Utility Functions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
These are helper functions designed to be called by individual device drivers.
|
|
Assuming that a device behaves as advertised, these should be applicable in most
|
|
cases. However, results may vary.
|
|
|
|
Note that these functions are never implicitly called for the driver. The driver
|
|
is always responsible for deciding when and if to call these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
pci_save_state
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
pci_save_state(struct pci_dev *dev);
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
Save first 64 bytes of PCI config space, along with any additional
|
|
PCI-Express or PCI-X information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
pci_restore_state
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
pci_restore_state(struct pci_dev *dev);
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
Restore previously saved config space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
pci_set_power_state
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
pci_set_power_state(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state);
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
Transition device to low power state using PCI PM Capabilities
|
|
registers.
|
|
|
|
Will fail under one of the following conditions:
|
|
- If state is less than current state, but not D0 (illegal transition)
|
|
- Device doesn't support PM Capabilities
|
|
- Device does not support requested state
|
|
|
|
|
|
pci_enable_wake
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
pci_enable_wake(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state, int enable);
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
Enable device to generate PME# during low power state using PCI PM
|
|
Capabilities.
|
|
|
|
Checks whether if device supports generating PME# from requested state
|
|
and fail if it does not, unless enable == 0 (request is to disable wake
|
|
events, which is implicit if it doesn't even support it in the first
|
|
place).
|
|
|
|
Note that the PMC Register in the device's PM Capabilities has a bitmask
|
|
of the states it supports generating PME# from. D3hot is bit 3 and
|
|
D3cold is bit 4. So, while a value of 4 as the state may not seem
|
|
semantically correct, it is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. PCI Device Drivers
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
These functions are intended for use by individual drivers, and are defined in
|
|
struct pci_driver:
|
|
|
|
int (*suspend) (struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state);
|
|
int (*resume) (struct pci_dev *dev);
|
|
int (*enable_wake) (struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state, int enable);
|
|
|
|
|
|
suspend
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
if (dev->driver && dev->driver->suspend)
|
|
dev->driver->suspend(dev,state);
|
|
|
|
A driver uses this function to actually transition the device into a low power
|
|
state. This should include disabling I/O, IRQs, and bus-mastering, as well as
|
|
physically transitioning the device to a lower power state; it may also include
|
|
calls to pci_enable_wake().
|
|
|
|
Bus mastering may be disabled by doing:
|
|
|
|
pci_disable_device(dev);
|
|
|
|
For devices that support the PCI PM Spec, this may be used to set the device's
|
|
power state to match the suspend() parameter:
|
|
|
|
pci_set_power_state(dev,state);
|
|
|
|
The driver is also responsible for disabling any other device-specific features
|
|
(e.g blanking screen, turning off on-card memory, etc).
|
|
|
|
The driver should be sure to track the current state of the device, as it may
|
|
obviate the need for some operations.
|
|
|
|
The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in
|
|
this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used.
|
|
|
|
resume
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
if (dev->driver && dev->driver->suspend)
|
|
dev->driver->resume(dev)
|
|
|
|
The resume callback may be called from any power state, and is always meant to
|
|
transition the device to the D0 state.
|
|
|
|
The driver is responsible for reenabling any features of the device that had
|
|
been disabled during previous suspend calls, such as IRQs and bus mastering,
|
|
as well as calling pci_restore_state().
|
|
|
|
If the device is currently in D3, it may need to be reinitialized in resume().
|
|
|
|
* Some types of devices, like bus controllers, will preserve context in D3hot
|
|
(using Vcc power). Their drivers will often want to avoid re-initializing
|
|
them after re-entering D0 (perhaps to avoid resetting downstream devices).
|
|
|
|
* Other kinds of devices in D3hot will discard device context as part of a
|
|
soft reset when re-entering the D0 state.
|
|
|
|
* Devices resuming from D3cold always go through a power-on reset. Some
|
|
device context can also be preserved using Vaux power.
|
|
|
|
* Some systems hide D3cold resume paths from drivers. For example, on PCs
|
|
the resume path for suspend-to-disk often runs BIOS powerup code, which
|
|
will sometimes re-initialize the device.
|
|
|
|
To handle resets during D3 to D0 transitions, it may be convenient to share
|
|
device initialization code between probe() and resume(). Device parameters
|
|
can also be saved before the driver suspends into D3, avoiding re-probe.
|
|
|
|
If the device supports the PCI PM Spec, it can use this to physically transition
|
|
the device to D0:
|
|
|
|
pci_set_power_state(dev,0);
|
|
|
|
Note that if the entire system is transitioning out of a global sleep state, all
|
|
devices will be placed in the D0 state, so this is not necessary. However, in
|
|
the event that the device is placed in the D3 state during normal operation,
|
|
this call is necessary. It is impossible to determine which of the two events is
|
|
taking place in the driver, so it is always a good idea to make that call.
|
|
|
|
The driver should take note of the state that it is resuming from in order to
|
|
ensure correct (and speedy) operation.
|
|
|
|
The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in
|
|
this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
enable_wake
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
if (dev->driver && dev->driver->enable_wake)
|
|
dev->driver->enable_wake(dev,state,enable);
|
|
|
|
This callback is generally only relevant for devices that support the PCI PM
|
|
spec and have the ability to generate a PME# (Power Management Event Signal)
|
|
to wake the system up. (However, it is possible that a device may support
|
|
some non-standard way of generating a wake event on sleep.)
|
|
|
|
Bits 15:11 of the PMC (Power Mgmt Capabilities) Register in a device's
|
|
PM Capabilities describe what power states the device supports generating a
|
|
wake event from:
|
|
|
|
+------------------+
|
|
| Bit | State |
|
|
+------------------+
|
|
| 11 | D0 |
|
|
| 12 | D1 |
|
|
| 13 | D2 |
|
|
| 14 | D3hot |
|
|
| 15 | D3cold |
|
|
+------------------+
|
|
|
|
A device can use this to enable wake events:
|
|
|
|
pci_enable_wake(dev,state,enable);
|
|
|
|
Note that to enable PME# from D3cold, a value of 4 should be passed to
|
|
pci_enable_wake (since it uses an index into a bitmask). If a driver gets
|
|
a request to enable wake events from D3, two calls should be made to
|
|
pci_enable_wake (one for both D3hot and D3cold).
|
|
|
|
|
|
A reference implementation
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
.suspend()
|
|
{
|
|
/* driver specific operations */
|
|
|
|
/* Disable IRQ */
|
|
free_irq();
|
|
/* If using MSI */
|
|
pci_disable_msi();
|
|
|
|
pci_save_state();
|
|
pci_enable_wake();
|
|
/* Disable IO/bus master/irq router */
|
|
pci_disable_device();
|
|
pci_set_power_state(pci_choose_state());
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.resume()
|
|
{
|
|
pci_set_power_state(PCI_D0);
|
|
pci_restore_state();
|
|
/* device's irq possibly is changed, driver should take care */
|
|
pci_enable_device();
|
|
pci_set_master();
|
|
|
|
/* if using MSI, device's vector possibly is changed */
|
|
pci_enable_msi();
|
|
|
|
request_irq();
|
|
/* driver specific operations; */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This is a typical implementation. Drivers can slightly change the order
|
|
of the operations in the implementation, ignore some operations or add
|
|
more driver specific operations in it, but drivers should do something like
|
|
this on the whole.
