Or even on all arm? I think I've already commented on the behaviour of the reboot syscalls such as power off which can return to userspace, pointing out that x86 can return to userspace. As long as x86 can return to userspace, I see no harm in ARM returning to userspace. If a driver which is hooking into the power off stuff is unable to immediately shut off the power (wtf it can't for 2 sec I've no idea) then having that driver work around that hardware's specific brokenness with a delay seems entirely reasonable. That allows those SoCs which can do the right thing to do the right thing without being hindered by such silliness. And it also stops the next person coming along and bumping the delay from 2 to 3, to 5, and then what... 10 seconds? Keeping it in the driver means that the workaround for the broken hardware is kept with the driver for the broken hardware - exactly where it should be.

Yeah, there are two issues here. If a power-off handler is crazy slow there really should be a delay in the handler. That was just an oversight on my part. [ In this case it takes between one and two seconds due to the resolution of the rtc and they way it's alarm events are triggered. ] The other issue is whether arch code should inform the user about failed power-off, in really exactly the same way as it does for failed reboot, see: ac15e00b1efe ("ARM: restart: move reboot failure handing into machine_restart()" by Russell. It looks like we're soon to be having power-off call chains, with configurable priorities, to shut of various parts of the hardware and this is all at least partly configurable through DT. [1] I think it's reasonable to expect to see more frequent failures to power off either due to (DT) misconfiguration or broken or flakey hardware. Having a short delay (I proposed 1s as for reboot) would also prevent any oopses when returning to user-space for just quite slow devices (e.g. millisecond range) without requiring explicit delays in these handlers. But as Andrew points out above, this really isn't an arm-specific issue, and currently various arches deal with this differently, where some return to user-space, some spin indefinitely (without an error message), and some spin on failed reboot but not power-off (e.g. arm and arm64). > That allows those SoCs which can do the right thing to do the right > thing without being hindered by such silliness. And it also stops > the next person coming along and bumping the delay from 2 to 3, to 5, > and then what... 10 seconds? That wouldn't be an issue then. Arch code would only handle the non-crazy case and complete power-off failures. > Keeping it in the driver means that the workaround for the broken > hardware is kept with the driver for the broken hardware - exactly > where it should be.

I guess this is what happens when people don't read the code before they decide to implement something. All the reboot/power off/halt methods already call into the driver model, and the driver model then iterates over all bound drivers calling their "shutdown" method. So, today, as it has been for years, all device drivers are notified of system power off. That's where most device drivers should be cleanly stopping their hardware. The only thing which is left is the actual hardware triggering of the action, and that should be what's done via the notifier.

That's not what I was trying to refer to. But the patch set explicitly allows for multiple, prioritised power-off handlers, which can power off a board in different ways and with various degrees of success. Specifically, it allows for fallback handlers in case one or more power-off handlers fail. So if we allow for that, what is to prevent the final power-off handler from failing? And should this not be logged by arch code in the same way as failure to restart is?

Don't you want to know if your primary high priority reboot handler fails, just as much as you want to know if your final last-resort power-off handler fails? Or different from having no power-off handlers. Here's the x86 code: void machine_power_off(void) { machine_ops.power_off(); } struct machine_ops machine_ops = { .power_off = native_machine_power_off, ... static void native_machine_power_off(void) { if (pm_power_off) { if (!reboot_force) machine_shutdown(); pm_power_off(); } /* A fallback in case there is no PM info available */ tboot_shutdown(TB_SHUTDOWN_HALT); } void tboot_shutdown(u32 shutdown_type) { void (*shutdown)(void); if (!tboot_enabled()) return; See - x86 can very well just fall straight back out of machine_power_off() if there's no pm_power_off() hook and tboot is not enabled.

Failed power-off should probably be logged by the power-off call chain implementation (which seems to makes notifier chains a bad fit). And what about any power-off latencies? Should this always be dealt with in the power-off handler? Again, if it's predictable and high, as in the OMAP RTC case, it should go in the handler. But what if it's just normal bus latencies (peripheral busses, i2c, or whatever people may come up with)?

I never doubted that, but is the right thing to do? Not all arches do it that way. And what about the killing of init? Shall we simply consider that a systemd bug? case LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF: kernel_power_off(); do_exit(0); break; If power-off fails (for whatever reason), do_exit(0) will trigger a panic when called from PID 1.

Why would I want to use your retracted renaming proposal for this property (i.e. "poweroff-source")?

Not all arches do it > that way. Well, the biggest question there is: if the power off or restart syscall fails, what is the _generic_ non-architecture action which is supposed to happen? Whatever the answer is to that question, that action should be performed by the _generic_ non-architecture code, rather than having the same implementation spread across all 30 architectures which the kernel supports today. > And what about the killing of init?

Oh, systemd calls this from PID1? I guess that's another reason to hate systemd with vitriol. :) SysVinit and upstart implementations call it from the "halt" command, which is itself normally run from a script, which totally avoids that problem. I'm quite sure the insane systemd lobby will scream that this is a kernel bug and will want to change it somehow, just like they want to change the kernel in soo many other silly ways.
This just to be sure, nothing more. I did read that you mentionned "poweroff-source" earlier.

The current handlers we have are not expecting any other handler to be run after they return. My question was whether all these handlers should get a short mdelay added to them (e.g. to compensate for bus latencies) or if this could be done in the power-off handler (e.g. before printing the error message). > > > Or different from having no power-off handlers. > > > > That is actually quite different, as in that case we call machine_halt > > instead (via kernel_halt). > > Today, ARM does exactly what x86 does.

No, if there are no power-off handlers registered, kernel/reboot.c will never call machine_power_off: /* Instead of trying to make the power_off code look like * halt when pm_power_off is not set do it the easy way. */ if ((cmd == LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF) && !pm_power_off) cmd = LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT; So in that case on arm, a system-halted message is printed, and we never return to user-space. > > > Here's the x86 code: > > > > > > void machine_power_off(void) > > > { > > > machine_ops.power_off(); > > > } > > > > > > struct machine_ops machine_ops = { > > > .power_off = native_machine_power_off, > > > ... > > > > > > static void native_machine_power_off(void) > > > { > > > if (pm_power_off) { > > > if (!reboot_force) > > > machine_shutdown(); > > > pm_power_off(); > > > } > > > /* A fallback in case there is no PM info available */ > > > tboot_shutdown(TB_SHUTDOWN_HALT); > > > } > > > > > > void tboot_shutdown(u32 shutdown_type) > > > { > > > void (*shutdown)(void); > > > > > > if (!tboot_enabled()) > > > return; > > > > > > See - x86 can very well just fall straight back out of machine_power_off() > > > if there's no pm_power_off() hook and tboot is not enabled. > > > > I never doubted that, but is the right thing to do?

Some don't, and could possibly unknowingly have been relying on the fact that they could return to user space and be powered off at some later time. With systemd that would have caused a panic. Also consider generic power-off handlers such as gpio-poweroff. It currently hard-codes a three-second delay but the actual delay would really be board specific. > We could move the delay into the infrastructure, but it would have > to be configurable.

Others do return from machine_power_off. Having a well defined behavior would be nice (such as dumping an error mesasge and calling machine_halt if machine_power_off returns). Only question would be where to put it. kernel_power_off() might be a good place; only problem is that there are direct callers of machine_power_off().

We've already concluded in this thread that such delays must be encoded in the actual handler (even if it's an argument to the power-off call chain code). The only exception should be generic handlers such as gpio-poweroff, which may need to define different delays depending on board. This could of course just be an argument of the corresponding DT node. My question above was if it was reasonable to add some generic short delay after calling each power-off handler to handle short power-off latencies (e.g. bus latencies) so that not every handler needs an explicit delay. > > > > > Or different from having no power-off handlers. > > > > > > > > That is actually quite different, as in that case we call machine_halt > > > > instead (via kernel_halt). > > > > > > Today, ARM does exactly what x86 does.

Others do return > from machine_power_off. Please re-read my comment and the code above. machine_power_off is never called if there's no handler registered. Some archs machine_power_off to spin on failed power-off (i.e. when there is a handler), something which I've mentioned a few times already in this thread. > Having a well defined behavior would be nice > (such as dumping an error mesasge and calling machine_halt if > machine_power_off returns). Only question would be where to put it. > kernel_power_off() might be a good place; only problem is that there > are direct callers of machine_power_off(). Indeed. Adding an error message to the power-off handler call chain code would solve the first problem as I mentioned before. Then it's mostly a matter of whether we care about consistency, and either remove the indefinite spins from those non-x86/non-arm arches, or prevent the latter (and some others) from returning to user-space. I'm inclined to having all arches return to user space on failed power-off, even if it means systemd cannot call reboot() from PID 1.

There probably should be a generic device-tree property for this, even if some delays would be device specific (e.g. the two second delay for omap rtc). But on top of that, external latencies would be quite board specific. The PMIC on the Beaglebone black adds a 50ms deglitch time, for instance. > My question above was if it was reasonable to add some generic short > delay after calling each power-off handler to handle short power-off > latencies (e.g. bus latencies) so that not every handler needs an > explicit delay. I just added a 500ms margin to the OMAP rtc power-off handler. That should be more than enough, and perhaps something like that could be a default in the power-off call chain. Consider that arch-arm has a 1s grace period before reporting failed reboot already today.
