Nexus 7 Android tablet can be turned off using a special bootloader command which is conveyed to bootloader by putting magic value into the special scratch register and then rebooting normally. This power-off method should be invoked if USB cable is connected. Bootloader then will display battery status and power off the device. This behaviour is borrowed from downstream kernel and matches user expectations, otherwise it looks like device got hung during power-off and it may wake up on USB disconnect. Switch PMC driver to sys-off handler API, which provides drivers with chained power-off callbacks functionality that is required for powering-off devices properly. It also brings resource-managed API for the restart handler registration that makes PMC driver code cleaner. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Osipenko <dmitry.osipenko@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Kernel now supports chained power-off handlers. Use register_power_off_handler() that registers power-off handlers and do_kernel_power_off() that invokes chained power-off handlers. Legacy pm_power_off() will be removed once all drivers will be converted to the new sys-off API. Normally arch code should adopt only the do_kernel_power_off() at first, but m68k is a special case because it uses pm_power_off() "inside out", i.e. pm_power_off() invokes machine_power_off() [in fact it does nothing], while it's machine_power_off() that should invoke the pm_power_off(), and thus, we can't convert platforms to the new API separately. There are only two platforms changed here, so it's not a big deal.

In order to support power-off chaining we need to get rid of the global pm_* variables, replacing them with the new kernel API functions that support chaining. Introduce new generic sys-off handler API that brings the following features: 1. Power-off and restart handlers are registered using same API function that supports chaining, hence all power-off and restart modes will support chaining using this unified function. 2. Prevents notifier priority collisions by disallowing registration of multiple handlers at the non-default priority level. 3. Supports passing opaque user argument to callback, which allows us to remove global variables from drivers. This patch adds support of the following sys-off modes: - SYS_OFF_MODE_POWER_OFF_PREPARE that replaces global pm_power_off_prepare variable and provides chaining support for power-off-prepare handlers. - SYS_OFF_MODE_POWER_OFF that replaces global pm_power_off variable and provides chaining support for power-off handlers. - SYS_OFF_MODE_RESTART that provides a better restart API, removing a need from drivers to have a global scratch variable by utilizing the opaque callback argument.

Add atomic_notifier_call_chain_is_empty() that returns true if given atomic call chain is empty. The first user of this new notifier API function will be the kernel power-off core code that will support power-off call chains. The core code will need to check whether there is a power-off handler registered at all in order to decide whether to halt machine or power it off.

We're having unresolved issues with the glock holder auto-demotion mechanism introduced in commit dc732906. This mechanism was assumed to be essential for avoiding frequent short reads and writes until commit 296abc0d ("gfs2: No short reads or writes upon glock contention"). Since then, when the inode glock is lost, it is simply re-acquired and the operation is resumed. This means that apart from the performance penalty, we might as well drop the inode glock before faulting in pages, and re-acquire it afterwards.
