 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);


 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->resume)
 	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.


 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.
