mainlining shenanigans

Currently, there is very limited power management support available in the upstream vfio_pci_core based drivers. If there are no users of the device, then the PCI device will be moved into D3hot state by writing directly into PCI PM registers. This D3hot state help in saving power but we can achieve zero power consumption if we go into the D3cold state. The D3cold state cannot be possible with native PCI PM. It requires interaction with platform firmware which is system-specific. To go into low power states (including D3cold), the runtime PM framework can be used which internally interacts with PCI and platform firmware and puts the device into the lowest possible D-States. This patch registers vfio_pci_core based drivers with the runtime PM framework. 1. The PCI core framework takes care of most of the runtime PM related things. For enabling the runtime PM, the PCI driver needs to decrement the usage count and needs to provide 'struct dev_pm_ops' at least. The runtime suspend/resume callbacks are optional and needed only if we need to do any extra handling. Now there are multiple vfio_pci_core based drivers. Instead of assigning the 'struct dev_pm_ops' in individual parent driver, the vfio_pci_core itself assigns the 'struct dev_pm_ops'. There are other drivers where the 'struct dev_pm_ops' is being assigned inside core layer (For example, wlcore_probe() and some sound based driver, etc.). 2. This patch provides the stub implementation of 'struct dev_pm_ops'. The subsequent patch will provide the runtime suspend/resume callbacks. All the config state saving, and PCI power management related things will be done by PCI core framework itself inside its runtime suspend/resume callbacks (pci_pm_runtime_suspend() and pci_pm_runtime_resume()). 3. Inside pci_reset_bus(), all the devices in dev_set needs to be runtime resumed. vfio_pci_dev_set_pm_runtime_get() will take care of the runtime resume and its error handling. 4. Inside vfio_pci_core_disable(), the device usage count always needs to be decremented which was incremented in vfio_pci_core_enable(). 5. Since the runtime PM framework will provide the same functionality, so directly writing into PCI PM config register can be replaced with the use of runtime PM routines. Also, the use of runtime PM can help us in more power saving. In the systems which do not support D3cold, With the existing implementation: // PCI device # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state D3hot // upstream bridge # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state D0 With runtime PM: // PCI device # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state D3hot // upstream bridge # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state D3hot So, with runtime PM, the upstream bridge or root port will also go into lower power state which is not possible with existing implementation. In the systems which support D3cold, // PCI device # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state D3hot // upstream bridge # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state D0 With runtime PM: // PCI device # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/power_state D3cold // upstream bridge # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.0/power_state D3cold So, with runtime PM, both the PCI device and upstream bridge will go into D3cold state. 6. If 'disable_idle_d3' module parameter is set, then also the runtime PM will be enabled, but in this case, the usage count should not be decremented. 7. vfio_pci_dev_set_try_reset() return value is unused now, so this function return type can be changed to void. 8. Use the runtime PM API's in vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure(). The device can be in low power state either with runtime power management (when there is no user) or PCI_PM_CTRL register write by the user. In both the cases, the PF should be moved to D0 state. For preventing any runtime usage mismatch, pci_num_vf() has been called explicitly during disable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
