From: Munehisa Kamata <redacted> Guest hibernation is different from xen suspend/resume/live migration. Xen save/restore does not use pm_ops as is needed by guest hibernation. Hibernation in guest follows ACPI path and is guest inititated , the hibernation image is saved within guest as compared to later modes which are xen toolstack assisted and image creation/storage is in control of hypervisor/host machine. To differentiate between Xen suspend and PM hibernation, keep track of the on-going suspend mode by mainly using a new API to keep track of SHUTDOWN_SUSPEND state. Introduce a simple function that keeps track of on-going suspend mode so that PM hibernation code can behave differently according to the current suspend mode. Since Xen suspend doesn't have corresponding PM event, its main logic is modfied to acquire pm_mutex.
lock_system_sleep() is not taking this mutex.
Though, accquirng pm_mutex is still right thing to do, we may see deadlock if PM hibernation is interrupted by Xen suspend. PM hibernation depends on xenwatch thread to process xenbus state transactions, but the thread will sleep to wait pm_mutex which is already held by PM hibernation context in the scenario. Xen shutdown code may need some changes to avoid the issue.
Is it Xen's shutdown or suspend code that needs to address this? (Or I may not understand what the problem is that you are describing)

This whole routine now is if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64)) return NOTIFY_BAD; return NOTIFY_OK; isn't it?

So I think you should move this check into the notifier. (And BTW I still think PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE should return an error too. The fact that we are using "suspend" in xen routine names is irrelevant) -boris
