During the suspend process and resume process, if there is any keyboard event, there is a small chance the suspend and the resume process can be aborted because of hv_kbd_on_receive() -> pm_wakeup_hard_event(). This behavior can be avoided by disabling the Hyper-V keyboard device as a wakeup source: echo disabled > /sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/hyperv_keyboard/XXX/power/wakeup (XXX is the device's GUID).
I'd like to see a more descriptive commit message, along the lines of: Add suspend() and resume() functions so the Hyper-V virtual keyboard can participate in VM hibernation. Note that the keyboard is a "wakeup" device that could abort an in-progress hibernation if there is keyboard event. No attempt is made to suppress this behavior. If desired, a sysadmin can disable the keyboard as a wakeup device using standard mechanisms such as: echo disabled > /sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/hyperv_keyboard/XXX/power/wakeup (where XXX is the device's GUID)
