The patch titled ACPI C-States: bm_activity improvements has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is acpi-c-states-bm_activity-improvements.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ACPI C-States: bm_activity improvements From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Do not assume there was bus mastering activity if the idle handler didn't get called, as there's only reason to not enter C3-type sleep if there is bus master activity going on. Only for the "promotion" into C3-type sleep bus mastering activity is taken into account, and there only current bus mastering activity, and not pure guessing should lead to the decision on whether to enter C3-type sleep or not. Also, as bm_activity is a jiffy-based bitmask (bit 0: bus mastering activity during this juffy, bit 31: bus mastering activity 31 jiffies ago), fix the setting of bit 0, as it might be called multiple times within one jiffy.
