I'm not sure what you're talking about.

This isn't an ACPI-based system that needs certain behavior. That's certain
behavior we want from GPIO buttons that can wake up *in* *general*.

Regardless of the platform, we want interrupts from those buttons to happen
after calling suspend_device_irqs(). Why? Because we want them to be able
to happen while freeze_enter() is being executed and *that* is platform
independent.

Not in "certain cases", but actually never and it is not about any platform
limitations. I'm not sure what other words I need to use to make it more
clear.

That would be the case in an ideal world, but the real one is not ideal,
unfortunately. The problem is that the PM core actually cannot decide
which interrupts to keep on, because it doesn't know which drivers can
cope with interrupts that happen after their devices have been suspended.
Using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is the way to experess that by a driver.

And again, that has nothing to do with platform limitations or requirements.
All this is about is whether or not to allow interrupts to be *handled* by
drivers after certain point in the suspend sequence, which is
suspend_device_irqs(). By using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND drivers say, basically "it is
OK to leave this IRQ as is, I promise to take care of it going forward" and
that covers *all* suspend/hibernate transitions.

The reason why the "freeze" sleep state is somewhat special is that it doesn't
do any platform-specific magic and needs *normal* device interrupts to work
after suspend_device_irqs(). And I would *love* *to* drop suspend_device_irqs()
at this point, but I can't, because there still are drivers that would have
broken had I done that.

And I'm saying "somewhat" above, because that behavior is actually needed to
prevent wakeup events occuring *during* suspend transitions from being lost
for all kinds of those transitions (if someone actually cares).

No, I'm not.

The first choice basically is to go through all drivers that don't use IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
and which have _noirq suspend callbacks (that covers all PCI drivers and some
non-PCI ones too IIRC) and audit their interrupt handlers to check whether or not
they can cope with interrupts coming after their devices have been suspended. Fix
the ones that can't and we can drop suspend_device_irqs().

But I guess I may be forgiven for regarding that as rather unattractive. And we
actually could have done that to start with, guess why we didn't?

The second choice is to use IRQF_NO_SUSPEND in the drivers that are OK. That
isn't too attractive either but has been practice for quite a while.

But you should, because suspend_device_irqs() is the very reason why
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND exists. :-)

And they will have problems with the "freeze" sleep state.

enable_irq_wake() is *not* a replacement for IRQF_NO_SUSPEND, nor the other
way around. They are different things.
