In my patches that means it'll arrive in the PCI layer (if it's a PCI device) and then call pci_runtime_resume on the appropriate device. > If the wakeup signal isn't squelched at the source, as part of the > event handling, will we get an interrupt storm?

No, nothing special needs to be done at the PCI level. It seems that (for Intel at least) there's no need to do anything special at the UHCI level either. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
