From: Nathan Lynch <nath...@linux.ibm.com> [ Upstream commit 52719fce3f4c7a8ac9eaa191e8d75a697f9fbcbc ]
There are three ways pseries_suspend_begin() can be reached: 1. When "mem" is written to /sys/power/state: kobj_attr_store() -> state_store() -> pm_suspend() -> suspend_devices_and_enter() -> pseries_suspend_begin() This never works because there is no way to supply a valid stream id using this interface, and H_VASI_STATE is called with a stream id of zero. So this call path is useless at best. 2. When a stream id is written to /sys/devices/system/power/hibernate. pseries_suspend_begin() is polled directly from store_hibernate() until the stream is in the "Suspending" state (i.e. the platform is ready for the OS to suspend execution): dev_attr_store() -> store_hibernate() -> pseries_suspend_begin() 3. When a stream id is written to /sys/devices/system/power/hibernate (continued). After #2, pseries_suspend_begin() is called once again from the pm core: dev_attr_store() -> store_hibernate() -> pm_suspend() -> suspend_devices_and_enter() -> pseries_suspend_begin() This is redundant because the VASI suspend state is already known to be Suspending. The begin() callback of platform_suspend_ops is optional, so we can simply remove that assignment with no loss of function.
