Some userspace applications use timerfd_create() to request wakeups after
a long period of time. For example, a backup application may request a
wakeup once per week. This is perfectly fine as long as the system does
not try to suspend. However, if the system tries to suspend and the
system's RTC does not support the required alarm timeout, the suspend
operation will fail with an error such as
rtc_cmos 00:01: Alarms can be up to one day in the future
PM: dpm_run_callback(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returns -22
alarmtimer alarmtimer.4.auto: platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returned -22 after 117 usecs
PM: Device alarmtimer.4.auto failed to suspend: error -22
This results in a refusal to suspend the system, causing substantial
battery drain on affected systems.
To fix the problem, use the maximum alarm time offset as reported by RTC
drivers to set the maximum alarm time. While this may result in early
wakeups from suspend, it is still much better than not suspending at all.
Standardize system behavior if the requested alarm timeout is larger than
the alarm timeout supported by the rtc chip. Currently, in this situation,
the RTC driver will do one of the following:
- It may return an error.
- It may limit the alarm timeout to the maximum supported by the rtc chip.
- It may mask the timeout by the maximum alarm timeout supported by the RTC
chip (i.e. a requested timeout of 1 day + 1 minute may result in a 1
minute timeout).
With this in place, if the RTC driver reports the maximum alarm timeout
supported by the RTC chip, the system will always limit the alarm timeout
to the maximum supported by the RTC chip.
