Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] alarmtimer: Add PM notifier to check early for
imminent alarm
The alarmtimer driver currently fails suspend attempts when there is an
alarm pending within the next 2 seconds, since the system is expected to
wake up soon anyway. The entire suspend process is initiated even though
the system will immediately awaken. This process includes substantial work
before the suspend fails and additional work afterwards to undo the failed
suspend that was attempted. Therefore on battery-powered devices that
initiate suspend attempts from userspace, it may be advantageous to be
able to fail the suspend earlier in the suspend flow to avoid power
consumption instead of unnecessarily doing extra work. As one data point,
an analysis of a subset of Android devices showed that imminent alarms
account for roughly 40% of all suspend failures on average leading to
unnecessary power wastage.
To facilitate this, register a PM notifier in the alarmtimer subsystem
that checks if an alarm is imminent during the prepare stage of kernel
suspend denoted by the event PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE. If an alarm is imminent,
it returns the errno code ETIME instead of EBUSY to userspace in order to
make it easily diagnosable.
