# sysdev\_suspend(9)

Suspend all system devices.

## NAME

sysdev\_suspend - Suspend all system devices.

## SYNOPSIS

**int sysdev\_suspend(pm\_message\_t** *state***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*state*

Power state to enter.

## DESCRIPTION

We perform an almost identical operation as **sysdev\_shutdown** above, though calling -\>**suspend** instead. Interrupts are disabled when this called. Devices are responsible for both saving state and quiescing or powering down the device.

This is only called by the device PM core, so we let them handle all synchronization.
