This is a mitigation for the relatively rare occurrence where a virtual IOA can be in a transient state that prevents the suspend/migration from succeeding, resulting in an error from ibm,suspend-me. If the join/suspend sequence returns an error, it is acceptable to retry as long as the VASI suspend session state is still "Suspending" (i.e. the platform is still waiting for the OS to suspend). Retry a few times on suspend failure while this condition holds, progressively increasing the delay between attempts. We don't want to retry indefinitey because firmware emits an error log event on each unsuccessful attempt.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
