[PATCH 0/4] PCI PM refinements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following patches are part of my Thunderbolt Runtime PM series.
I'm posting them separately to split the series into digestible chunks.

They benefit everyone, not just Thunderbolt, and Thunderbolt works fine
without them (just not with the same degree of perfection).

Patch [1/4] affords direct-complete to devices which are not platform-
power-manageable, yet can be suspended to D3cold with a nonstandard
mechanism. It does so using a heuristic: If a device's current_state
is D3cold and it is not power-manageable, it is assumed that a
nonstandard PM mechanism is at work and the device is left asleep.
The patch is the outcome of a discussion with Rafael and Alan on
linux-pci@ and I would like to thank both for tirelessly responding
to my questions.

Patch [3/4] replaces the unconditional resume after direct-complete with
a conditional resume by determining if the platform firmware has put the
device in reset-power-on or not.

Because the D3cold state cannot be determined from the PMCSR, patch [2/4]
adds a hook to query the platform firmware for its opinion on the device's
power state.

Finally, patch [4/4] changes the shutdown handling of PCI devices such
that they are no longer woken without reason.

The result of these patches should be a speedup and decreased power
consumption for system sleep and system shutdown (both for devices that
are platform-power-manageable and those that aren't).

Thanks,
