When the PCI device is runtime resumed, the function call above will be executed by pci_pm_runtime_resume(), so WoL will be disabled as well. There are a few drivers which re-enable WoL from their ->shutdown hook, but that isn't impacted by this patch because the fast path isn't taken if the driver has a ->shutdown hook. > But there's another theoretical issue here. > > On systems with ACPI some devices may need to be reconfigured for wakeup > from S5 even though they have been configured for signaling wakeup while > in S0. Those would still need to be resumed. Hm, why does the device have to be resumed for that? The ACPI 6.0 spec says for _DSW: "This control method can only access Operation Regions that are either always available while in a system working state or that are available when the Power Resources referenced by the _PRW object are all ON." Before _DSW is executed, all power resources are turned on, so whatever _DSW does, the device should be powered up and accessible. Does OSPM really have to runtime resume the device for _DSW? Another potential issue that crossed my mind is I/O virtualization: If a PCI device is passed through to a guest VM, the VM may enable PME, put the device in D3, etc. If the VM is shut down, can anything go wrong if the fast path is taken for runtime suspended devices? (To be fair, if the VM crashes and doesn't shut down passed through devices orderly, we'd be in the same situation.) PME would be disabled as described above, and leaving the device in D3hot should be fine as well. If the host or another guest VM wants to use the PCI device afterwards, it will resume it to D0 with pci_enable_device() in the driver's ->probe hook. Let me know if you find flaws in this line of thought. Thanks!
