SubjectRE: [RFC] [PATCH] Power S3 Resume Optimization Patch. Request for Comment
Date
From
My initial idea was to execute only block device resume on the separate
thread, as it take almost 80% of the total device resume time ( I did
detailed profile of each device resume through rdtsc() counter) and rest
of them takes less than 20% in total( each device ( including char and
net)on its own takes less than 0.03 seconds). I could still save some
good amount of resume time ( apprx 1.2 sec). However Given this ratio,
and the fact that block device resume happening way at the end of the
list, I tried this with only taking care of Block devices.
I am not sure if there is a case where any scenario where Char
devices would take more resume time than normally it would. If so I can
modify the patch to put only block devices in separate thread for resume
Thanks

Yep, but you also break it completely...

And you noticed that, so you fixed obvious problems on block devices.
Ignoring char and net devices completely.

Locking. CodingStyle.

Add mdelay(1 hour) here. Then try to use your wifi card and your tv
grabber.
