I checked with a Windows kernel person, who said that when preparing to sleep, Windows puts devices in S3 state (I think he meant D3) and does not use _DIS. I think this patch is the right thing to do. It's possible we'll trip over some BIOS issue, but in the long term, we should try to do it the same way Windows does. Andrew, can you add this before pnp-request-ioport-and-iomem-resources-used-by-active-devices.patch? Thanks, Bjorn PNP: do not stop/start devices in suspend/resume path Do not disable PNP devices in the suspend path. We still call the driver's suspend method, which should prevent further use of the device, and the protocol suspend method, which may put the device in a low-power state. I'm told that Windows puts devices in a low-power state (Linux does this in the protocol suspend method), but does not use _DIS in the suspend path. Other relevant references: - In the ACPI 3.0b spec, I can't find any mention of _DIS in connection with sleep. And Device Object Notifications, Section 5.6.3, Table 5-43, says we should get a bus check after awakening if hardware was removed while we slept. - This: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810079.aspx makes a similar point about how the OS re-enumerates devices as a result of a power state change (3rd last paragraph of text). - This: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa489874.aspx suggests that Windows only stops a device to rebalance hardware resources.
